“I’m a big believer that if you focus on good skin care, you really won’t need a lot of makeup,” Demi Moore once preached. We’d all love to have a skin like Ms. Moore’s who has indeed taken great care of her skin, which continues to radiate a youthful glow for her age.
What It Takes To Have Radiant Skin
These 10 tips to obtain that bright, glowing skin you’ve always wanted will show you that, clearly, it takes more than just a great brand of skin brightener to get the results that you want:
Tip No. 1: Maintain a clean and clear skin. Make it a point to use only alcohol-free cleanser and toner, applied to your skin no more than two times daily to get that blemish-free skin you want to achieve without stripping off your skin of its natural oils. Never sleep with your makeup on.
Tip No. 2: Exfoliate. This weekly regimen helps you get rid of toughened impurities that mask your skin and which clog your pores — grime which your regular cleansing and toning ritual aren’t formulated to loosen and eliminate from your skin.
Tip No. 3: Add AHAs and BHAs to your cleansers and creams. These acids help give your skin a mild exfoliation every day. These also give your skin a daily dose of stimulation that makes your skin produce higher levels of collagen and speed up the rate of turnover.
Tip No. 4: Protect your skin better. Sunscreen should be a staple in your day time routine, make that at least SPF50 and ensure that you’re getting broad spectrum protection. Don’t forget to make sure that antioxidants are part of the formula too or, apply these separately, most especially when your skin works to rejuvenate at night.
Be cautious of sunscreen products. Mind the ingredients and pay attention to toxicity.
Tip No. 5: Jazz Up Your Lifestyle. You can’t possibly wish for gorgeous skin and not have an equally gorge lifestyle. The top prerequisite for beautiful skin is healthy skin — a feat that you simply cannot achieve by isolating skin care from the rest of your body.
So, for beautiful skin, you do need to pay more attention to what you are munching on. At the same time, you have to move around more, get the workout your body needs to build and keep your muscles firm which, in turn, will promote your better skin contour. Your skin will have to be in sync with the rest of your body.
Tip No. 6: Schedule regular downtime. Every day, you need to give your mind, body, and spirit at least 7 to 9 hours of peace in quiet slumber. That should give your skin sufficient time to repair and rejuvenate itself. If you keep missing out on sufficient rest and sleep, you will be depriving your body, including your skin, much-needed opportunity to help your body rebound from damage.
Every once in a while, you will also need to run away from your daily life. Take a vacation and go discover what else it is for you to experience. It takes adventures to give you a recharge. Not only will it make your skin glow, breaks will also make you more productive.
Tip No. 7: Give your skin an extra special TLC. Put on a brightening or purifying mask several times in a week. These masks promote your skin’s overall health by flooding your skin with significant amounts of moisture and nutrients, relieves it from inflammation, and deliver astringent functions to tighten your pores and brighten your overall skin tone.
Tip No. 8: Add a skin brightening cream to your routine. You can choose from cleansers, creams, and spot treatment preparations that contain melanin-inhibiting ingredients. Some of the ingredients that you need are retinol, hydroquinone, kojic acid, chamomile extract, and papaya extract. If you decide to go for either retinol or, hydroquinone, make sure that you know that risks and side effects.
Tip No. 9: Sign up for a professional treatment. Whether you have serious dark marks or, you just want to see more visible results sooner, there are a number of professionally administered procedures guaranteed to beat the rate of efficacy an ordinary skin brightener can give you. Choose from: chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing, and light therapy.
Tip No. 10: Consider oral supplementation. Loading up on your Vitamin C and glutathione, both very powerful antioxidants, can also help promote your brighter and fairer skin tone.
