Giant pores, acne, and dull skin – oh my! We all want flawless skin. For some, however, it’s harder to achieve than others. Here are five tips on how to acquire glowing, healthy skin.
Find the cleanser that works for you.
A skincare routine starts with an understanding of your skin type. There are five basic types of healthy skin: oily, dry, combination, sensitive and normal. If you’re unsure of what type of skin you have, try the paper test. From there, you can move forward with finding the right kind of product to use for your face – or contact a dermatologist for further assistance. Finding the perfect product for your skincare routine isn’t all you should focus on, though. If you have a great product, but a hard water system, odds are that your skin will continue to suffer. Installing a water softener has many benefits, such as clearer, softer skin and fewer breakouts.
Use sunscreen daily.
Sunscreen smells weird, it feels too greasy, it streaks and, for some, it’s just inconvenient. However, to achieve healthy, glowing skin, sunscreen is a necessity. Wearing sunscreen daily helps prevent sunburn, skin cancer and premature aging. It’s a must-have for indoors and outdoors, protecting against damaging sun rays and blue light.
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
Water is the wonder moisturizer. It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, improves skin elasticity and helps you look younger and slimmer, too. Water helps combat oiliness, delivers nutrients to cells and improves sleep quality, cognition and mood. Here’s a breakdown of how much water you should consume each day. What’re you waiting for?

Maintain a healthy diet.
Changing your diet and adding in foods like salmon, carrots, eggs and avocado can help improve your skin. By eating the right foods, wrinkles, dryness and thinning are less likely to occur. If you’re a picky eater, here’s a list of essential daily vitamins to take to maintain a healthy appearance.
Count sheep.
We don’t call it beauty sleep for nothing. Perhaps the most important skincare routine is getting more ZZZs. People who sleep between 7-9 hours a night often have skin that is more moisturized and better able to heal itself after being exposed to ultraviolet light during the day. Before your head hits the pillow tonight, check out these tips on how to get the most effective results for your skin while you sleep.
