What are the basics of an ideal skin care regimen? Though there are plenty of pointers one needs to keep in mind, listed below are few of the basic ones.

  • Eat loads of fresh fruits and veggies: It goes without saying that you’ve got to be healthy from inside to look healthy from outside. The same especially is absolutely true for skin. One needs to incorporate a lot of fruits and vegetables in one’s diet. Needless, to add, junk and oily food and aerated drinks are taboo on the list.
  • Follow a proper skin care regime: One needs to take care of her skin regularly and daily to diminish the signs of ageing and acne break outs. Follow an easy to do and pocket friendly skin care regimen with cleansing, toning and moisturizing routines, a must haves on the list.
  • But products that are suitable for your skin type: Not everybody can use every product for their skin. Besides, changing the type of products and brands frequently may actually do a lot of harm rather than good. It will take a while and frequent trials and errors before one gets to know the right products for their skin. But once decided, stick to these only and do not experiment further.
  • Drink loads of water: Drink at least eight glasses of water to flush out the toxins and keep your skin hydrated.
  • Get proper sleep: Insufficient sleep will give you dark circles and bags under the eyes. Get proper sleep, ideally eight hours day. Not only for your skin, but proper sleep will do a great favor to your mood and general disposition as well.
  • Do not forget to get the daily dose of fresh air: Staying indoors for long hours in air conditioned environment saps moisture from your skin. Ensure that you get your daily dose of fresh air.
  • Protect your skin from sun: A wee bit exposure to sunlight is good for you since it loads you with vitamin D. However in case you have got to stay outside for long hours, ensure that you have a good sun block on, wear shades and cover yourself as much as possible.
  • Ensure you take off your make up: In addition, do not make it a habit to slather your face with make up even on occasions you can do without. Incessant use of make up can clog your skin pores leading to break outs.
  • Try your hand at some d-i-y creams and lotions: It’s not necessary that you will get the best results for your skin only with the most expensive of skin care products. You can get results with organic and affordable ingredients too that you can rustle up at your home. Search the internet for some of those and you are sure to get the answers.
  • Exercises: Exercises not only does a world of good to your bones and joints but also to your skin. Exercises aid blood flow to the skin cells, keeping them in good health.
  • Do away with stress: Though it may not be entirely possible to do away with stress, yet make an effort to indulge in some meditation, listening to your favorite music or favorite hobby when you are stressed out. Stress results in hormonal imbalances and reflects poorly on your skin.
