1. Make sure you are cleansing correctly. As you know, the first step to achieving glowing skin is to thoroughly remove all make-up and surface debris with a gentle & natural remover. Use a product that hydrates the skin as it cleanses, removing all traces of make-up, SPF, sweat, grime, and environmental pollutants. You also need to soak a cotton pad with the remover and gently wipe the face, repeating this process until the pad comes away clean.
2. Add in a twice-weekly exfoliation. This will aid in removing dead skin cells. Opt for a natural exfoliant like dermaV celluVance d•toxx™ exfoliant.
3. Add hydration. Hydration is the key to unlocking radiant skin, so investing in the right facial moisturiser is key. Dowsing oily, blemish-prone skin with moisturisers may seem counterintuitive, but it’s actually one of the best things you can do for your breakouts. When skin is dry, the oil glands tend to overproduce sebum to add moisture back into the skin. This can lead to clogged pores, which causes even more breakouts. To nourish your skin while keeping blemishes at bay, use a lightweight, low-oil moisturiser.
4. Sanitise your smartphone. Mobile phones are hotspots for blemish-causing bacteria, so keep them clean with an antibacterial wipe. Simply wipe down your phone screen at the end of each day to ensure bacteria isn’t transferred to your face when you’re making your next phone call.
5. Wash your mask. That reusable fabric mask has absorbed your sweat, maybe some of your saliva, any droplets from coughing and sneezing, your makeup and your moisturiser, let alone whatever else it has come into contact with when you’ve gone out or taken it off and put it down. It’s a breeding ground for all kinds of microbes, so you want to wash it regularly. You need to wash your mask on a daily basis, or even rotating through a few different masks would be a good idea. Toss your masks in the washing machine, or hand wash with soap and hot water. Throw them in a hot dryer, if care directions allow. And store clean masks in new paper bags to keep them free from germs.
