Maintaining healthy, glowing skin starts with a consistent routine. Key steps include:
Cleansing:
Gently remove dirt and oil using a cleanser suited to your skin type.
- Dry/sensitive skin: Use alcohol-free, creamy cleansers
- Oily skin: Use acidic cleansers to manage oil
Avoid soap-based products and massage cleanser for at least 20 seconds.
Sun Protection:
UV rays cause premature aging and increase cancer risk.
- Avoid sun exposure from 10 am–3 pm
- Use broad-spectrum SPF 15+ sunscreen
- Reapply every 3–4 hours and after swimming
- Wear protective clothing and hats
Note: Sun protection may reduce vitamin D—supplement if necessary.
Hydration & Nutrition:
- Drink 2+ litres of water daily
- Eat foods rich in omega-3s (e.g., salmon, flaxseed, walnuts)
- Include antioxidants (fruits, veggies, seafood) for collagen support
Dry Skin Tips:
- Take short, lukewarm showers
- Apply moisturiser right after bathing
- Use cream-based products in winter
