The Glowing Skin You Deserve
Isn’t it enough to buy all the skincare? Apparently, you have to worry about sleep, stress, and SPF, too! We know that a lot goes into proper skincare, and that’s why we’re here to make your life a little easier with these five simple hacks. You’ll get clearer skin and a bit of extra time in your schedule, too.
1. Combine Moisturizer and SPF
We know the pain of buying one too many products. It seems like a good idea at first, and then the next thing you know, you have expired lotions that only break you out. Luckily, you can avoid this trap by combining moisturizer with SPF—you get two birds with one stone.
2. Apply Products to Damp Skin
Did you know that the best time to apply skincare products is after a shower? It’s true! Plenty of products already want your face damp before application, but after a shower, you get a twofer: freshly washed skin and open pores, which help you absorb products.
3. Clean Your Brushes
When was the last time you cleaned your brushes? Though it doesn’t seem that dangerous, filthy makeup brushes break you out, irritate your skin, and can even grow harmful bacteria. You should wash them every week!
4. Get Enough Sleep
Skincare is more than just the latest Sephora find. It’s about taking care of yourself, namely, with enough sleep. You already deserve 7-9 hours, but truly making an effort reduces stress (which also benefits your skin) and gives your skin a chance to repair.
5. Take a Few Days Off
No one said you had to slather on a face cream every day. In fact, doing so can be more harmful than you think. Too much scrubbing can easily cause irritation and redness, so it’s best to take a day or two off if you need it.
