10 Tips to Improve Your Beauty Regimen

Whether you have a beauty routine that already works for you or you’re searching for something new and fresh to try, consider these 10 tips to improve the quality of your beauty regimen.

1. Sleep 

Getting a good night’s sleep is one of the best-kept secrets in beauty routines. Being well-rested with eight to ten hours of sleep each night helps reset your body and stimulates cell regeneration. For a bonus, use a gua sha tool to gently sweep across your face and down your neck to support lymphatic drainage, removing any pillow puffiness leftover from your beauty sleep.

2. Nutrition 

Eat a balanced diet to support enhanced well-being. Eat dark, leafy greens and plenty of dark berries and fruits alongside substantial protein and complex carbs to maintain energy. Consult with a nutritionist or physician if you are unsure which foods to eat to best benefit your health.

3. Water

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Water is the number one game-changer for skin quality and beauty routines. Make proper hydration a habit, if you haven’t already. A good estimate of how much water to drink is your weight divided by two, and then drink that amount of water in ounces per day. For example:

146 / 2 = 73

Seventy-three ounces of water each day would be an informal baseline for someone who might weigh 146 pounds. Seventy-three ounces of H20 a day is equivalent to around seven or so glasses of water. Drink up.

4. Bathing

We all know that keeping clean and having good hygiene is essential. When bathing, consider using warm water with a cool rinse not to dry out your skin as the hot water will. Gently exfoliate, choosing mild cleansers. Follow your bath or shower with hydrating body moisturizers.

5. Hair

Hair doesn’t necessarily need washing every day. Stylists recommend that you wash your hair only every few days. Your hair needs the natural oil your scalp produces to stay healthy and shiny. If you feel your hair is too oily, try a dry shampoo rather than overwashing and potentially damaging hair.

6. Routine 

When creating a skin routine that works for you, start by focusing on purpose and simplicity. Morning and nighttime skin routines do not have to be expensive or have too many steps. Focus on each step of the process and begin with minimal products to evaluate the desired results. Try to stay with the same routine for at least three months, unless adverse reactions occur, to assess the routine’s efficacy accurately.

7. Cleanse

Everyone’s face is different. However, it is crucial to develop a cleansing routine that does what it is supposed to. A three-part cleansing routine directly before bed can be beneficial. Everyone is exposed to and needs to wash away daily pollutants. Removing make-up is also vital. Keeping pores clean prevents breakouts. Finally, remove any sweat, dust, or pet dander with a final swipe right before bed. Use gentle cleansers that match your skin type without overdrying.

8. Exfoliate 

Gently removing dead and aging skin is integral to stimulating new cell growth. As we grow older, wrinkles and fine lines appear more readily. Exfoliating helps boost the skin’s elasticity, maintaining a youthful radiance for longer.

9. Moisturize

Protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays as a part of your daily moisturizing routine. Use the tried and true system of applying your moisturizers from thinnest to thickest. This method seals in products and allows them to absorb into the skin. Choose moisturizers and serums with sunscreen.

10. Make-up

Make-up accentuates, transforms, and brings joy, but you can always stick with a good moisturizer instead. Use as much or as little make-up as you feel comfortable wearing. Choose only hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic options if you do so. Be sure to remove makeup altogether before sleeping to reduce breakouts.
