The New Year presents the perfect opportunity to update your skin care regimen and recommit to your goals. We’ve gathered three easy and effective habits that will give you healthy, radiant skin in 2020.
Drink More Water
It’s no secret that staying hydrated is great for your skin as it is for your overall health. Your skin reacts to dehydration by breaking out, flaking, becoming dry, and losing elasticity. This leaves the skin more vulnerable to irritants and contaminants. In dry climates, like Arizona, drinking water is highly paramount because the lack of moisture in the air can cause dry skin.
Make it a goal to keep a water bottle with you all day in 2020 so you can stay hydrated at all times. You can also drink water during meals instead of juice or soda. The benefits of this are endless. The water will replenish lost moisture, make your skin glow, and keep you energized. And to make it taste better, flavor your water with some veggies or fruits.
Wash Your Face Every Night
Washing your face before bed seems like such a chore. But leaving all the dirt and makeup overnight can lead to clogged pores, irritation, and acne. Making a consistent effort to wash your face every night can make a huge difference in the appearance and health of your skin. It can prevent wrinkles, reduce breakouts, and keep your skin healthy. If you’re always too tired to wash before bed, make it a goal to do it as soon as you get home. That way, you’ll hit the pillows feeling super refreshed. And don’t forget to keep your skin moisturized.
Wear Sunscreen Everyday
We’ve been told time and time again sunscreen is essential for our skin. Whether the sky is overcast, it’s cold outside, or you’re planning to wear a hat, you must wear daily SPF. In addition to protecting your skin from diseases such as skin cancer, sunscreen also helps slow down signs of aging. Be sure to apply the correct amount so you can receive the amount of SPF promised by the sunscreen. You can also try a moisturizer or foundation with sunscreen to keep application steps to a minimum.
