Want a Glowing Healthy Face for Summer?

1. Start with washing your face before bed. This can either be done with a face wash, scrub or face wipes to save the hassle of getting up to go to the sink. Using facewipes that a natural and free of chemicals will wipe away the daily grime and prevent breakouts and stinging reactions.

2. Don’t just give you face a quick wash, use a 20-cent piece size of cleanser and foam it up to about 45 seconds, because that is the amount of time it takes to clear dirt and oil of skin.

3. Don’t leave behind any cleanser on your skin as it will cause the skin to be dry. Use lukewarm water to remove all the cleanser. Hot water can dry out the skin whilst cold water stops your pores from opening, so lukewarm is best.

4. Wear a good night cream, this insures that your face will stay hydrated. It helps give your skin a finer texture and prevents wrinkles and sagginess.

5. Always wash your face again in the morning. The thick night cream needs to be removed as well as the oils from your hair and face that build up on your pillowcase.

6. Before makeup and after cleansing apply sunscreen with SPF daily, no matter what the weather. This limits the cause of wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems. If you want one that doesn’t block your pores make sure it says ‘nonacnegenic’ or ‘noncomedogenic’. Apply a primer before makeup to stop the harsh makeup damaging your skin.

7. Want bonus points with your skin? Exfoliate once or twice a week. It demolishes dead skin which lets your skin products penetrate deeper and become more useful to limit signs of gaining and breakouts.
