Do you ever look at a 40 year old woman and wonder how she managed to maintain our skin so well? If yes, you need not wonder anymore because I am here to reveal their secrets. Our skin cells are in the process of regeneration while we sleep and therefore, it is necessary to keep it clean and pampered before we head to bed.
Here are some tips and tricks that you must follow before going to sleep if you want healthy and glowing skin for a lifetime:
* Erase the Makeup
Going to bed with even the smallest amount of makeup on is the greatest mistake you can make. You apply your makeup in the morning and head out. Your face obviously produces a lot of oil and attracts dirt that mixes up with the makeup particles and settles into the pores well by the time you are ready to sleep. Therefore, if you want to prevent breakouts and uneven skin, take a nice gentle makeup remover and erase it completely. I recommend natural coconut oil for this purpose.
* Cleanse the Face
After removing makeup using an oil-based cleanser, you must use a water based cleanser or a gentle exfoliating face wash for cleaning the face and to make sure that there are no residues of makeup on the skin. Wash the face with warm water and pat it dry with a soft towel.
* Use a Night Moisturizer
A lot of people use the same moisturizer throughout the day. However, I would suggest you to buy a high-quality rejuvenating moisturizer for the night time that contains loads of antioxidants that can help replenish the skin cells. Apply it to the skin and gently massage it for better blood flow. Use a water-based moisturizer that has hyaluronic acid in it as it is safe for the skin and very hydrating as well.
* Say Goodbye to Puffy Eyes
For healthier and wrinkle-free eye surroundings, get yourself a nice eye cream that helps remove the fine lines and discoloration. Gently massage it around the eyes after your face moisturizer has completely settled down into the skin.
* Serum for the Glow
If you want a healthy glow on the skin and need your blemishes to disappear, a moisturizer cannot get the job done alone. Serums are very thin in texture and they easily penetrate deep into the skin layers and address the skin conditions. Choose a serum that is right for your skin type and apply just a tad bit of it on the entire face right before you go to bed.
