Today’s beauty standards claim that open pores, textured skin and acnes are something that makes a person ugly and bad looking and that these features are not natural part of a human being (of course a blatant lie). However, the truth is this is who we are—the skin, the imperfections and all the marks they just make us US, whether present since birth or later got more obvious with age.
Though, we definitely do not need to follow these beauty standards and run behind them blindly and mindlessly, what we can have is a healthy looking skin with natural glow without entertaining these typical standards and doing an unhealthy comparison of ourselves with these beauty regulations.
So, today we are here with some tips and secrets that you can follow or add to your lifestyle to have a healthier- looking skin.
Secrets for Healthier- Looking Skin, Do Add in Your Skincare Routine-
Never Miss on Sunscreen
With more talk regarding sunscreen and its benefits and importance among people, the use of it has also increased since some last years.
However, most people only wear sunscreen when they are out, with thoughts of the sun rays and the UV light in it can only fall and be absorbed by the skin when it is exposed directly to the rays. Though, the truth is even when inside a house, the UV light from the sunlight could still pass and can get absorbed by your skin. So, not only is it important to wear sunscreen when you are out doing errands but also when inside a shelter, to prevent sun and UV light damage.
Avoid Scrubbing
Scrubbing away those dead skin cells, black heads and white heads by using a physical exfoliator may seem like a good solution but in reality, it makes the skin worse and damages the skin barrier causing further damage and irritation.
Be Gentle
Whatever product you use on your skin, make sure you are gentle and calm while putting them and rubbing them on your skin. A harsh approach could even make your acne worse or lead to early aging signs or make your skin saggy and loose.
Stress Less
Stress is the culprit behind almost every second issue in the body, so how does it stay behind when it comes to skin problems? Yes! Stress leads to increase in the fine lines, wrinkles, acne and even dark circles on your face, making you look older than your actual age.
So, stress less in order to not get stressed more because of your skin issues.
