• Get to know your skin type:

Understanding and getting to know your skin type is the most important thing you can ever do for your skin. By knowing your skin type, you can avoid breakouts, inflammation, irritations and etc.… The most common skin types are acne-prone, dry, oily and sensitive skin.

• Sunscreen is a must:

It’s very important to use sunscreen daily to help you protect your skin from sun damage. Even on cloudy, winter days, its important to protect your skin. Sunscreen not only protects your skin from the UV rays but also slows down premature aging and wrinkles caused by sun exposure. Just apply sunscreen every morning and your skin will thank you for it.

• Make sure your know how layer your skincare:

You need to know how to apply your skincare products in the right order for you to benefit from them. Its best to apply the lightweight formulas first so they can easily be absorbed. Just make sure you give your skin some time to absorb the product before adding any more.

• Don’t apply too much product:

Its not a good idea to pile on product it could potentially block your pores. Your skin is only able to absorb only little and plus its a waste of product and money to apply more.

• Exfoliation is Key:

Exfoliation is one of the most important steps in anyone’s skincare routine. Exfoliating helps cleanse your pores and dissolve dead skin cells while regenerating your skin, leaving your skin feeling clean and radiant. Just make sure you exfoliate 2-3 times a week and not more.

• Mask regularly:

Masks are actually very important when it comes to your skincare; add it to your daily skincare regimen. It is recommended to use a facemask daily for not more then 30 minutes, opt for a mask that goes with your skin type.

• Vitamin C is a Must:

Vitamin C is one of the strongest antioxidants, which means that it helps protect your skin from harsh sunlight. It also helps brighten your skin.

• Moisture is Everything:

When it comes to your skin, it’s very important to make sure that it’s hydrated. No matter what skin type you have, just make sure you keep it hydrated. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, glycerin and ceramides. Make sure you moisturize twice a day and top it off with either a sunscreen (during the day) or night serum (night time).

• Use an Eye Cream with Caffeine for Dark Circles:

Most us struggle with dark under eyes, and trust me when I say I have literally used every eye cream in the market and nothing worked. That’s when I was told to try ‘The Original’ Caffeine Solution and within a few weeks of using it, I noticed my dark circles decrease as well as it helps reduce puffiness and brightened the area.

• Eat and Drink your Way Towards Better Skin:

Food plays an important role on your physical appearance, and no matter what products you use, nothing will work if you don’t end up with a good diet. To get the glow your looking for, you would want to supply your body with all sorts of vitamins and minerals. In addition to food, make sure you drink enough water throughout the day. Stay hydrated and your skin will thank you for it.
