Most of us don’t pay attention to our skin until something goes wrong. Particularly during our twenties, we fail to adopt skincare habits like we should.
Taking care of your skin in your early 20s ensures that as you grow older, the aging process slows down. But for those who have never paid attention, it can be difficult once they tread into their 30s—especially when it comes to knowing where to start.
But rest assured, it doesn’t mean you can’t have great skin before you turn 30.
Here’s what you can do:
Moisturize
You’ve probably heard it time and time again that moisturizing your skin is the basics of skincare. That doesn’t make it any less true. It helps prevent your skin from drying and leaving a flaky texture. But the type of moisturizer you use is also important. Use a moisturizer that provides you skin protection from sun damage and keeps hydrated throughout the day.
East Asians use BB creams because they provide protection from the sun, moisturization, and a nice tint. But it’s also important to consult a professional who can analyze your skin and help find you find out what type of moisturizer is suitable for your skin type.
But remember that skin types differ person to person— what may suit someone else isn’t guaranteed to suit you.
Use a Gentle Cleanser to Remove Makeup and Unclog Pores
It’s okay to skip your morning routine sometimes. But when you do, make sure you’re still cleansing your skin. It will help remove the dirt and impurities from your skin. You don’t want your pores clogged.
Secondly, never sleep with your make up on. Make sure to use an oil-based cleanser, as well as a water-based one to clean your skin at night.
This will not only help remove makeup, it will help keep your skin clean, preventing bacteria from attacking your skin. Make sure to apply your moisturizer after this to seal in the hydration!
Use Sheet Masks For that Gorgeous, Toned Complexion!
For days when you feel like you don’t even have enough energy for a full skincare routine, apply a sheet mask for 15 minutes after removing your makeup.
Sheets are perfect for hydrating your skin from the inside and sealing moisture.
