Hi my lovelies, your girl is back again because why not, right? Today we will be looking at our skin and how to improve it.

Lets be honest, we have all, and I mean all, caught a glimpse of ourselves in the mirror, especially when the sun hits at the right spot and gone ‘damn I look good’.

Rightfully so I say but as you’re basking in the glorious sun you notice a few bumps, wrinkles or creases that were not there before and start to panic, wondering how you did not even notice when this happened to your skin but fret not your girl is here to help.

There are so many ways to take care of your skin that does not involve overly priced skincare products, even though it is good to have a good skin routine with good products.

However lets be honest, we can’t all afford those prices especially in this debilitating economy. So in light of this lets look at the ways we can take care of our skin to get the glow we all deserve to have;

1. Hydration: One of the most essential things for healthy skin is staying hydrated. I know I know you’ve heard it a million times but there’s a reason it’s said so much. Water is great not only for your body but your skin as well. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps to keep your skin moisturized, which can prevent dryness and flakiness. Dehydrated skin can appear dull and lackluster, while well-hydrated skin is plump and radiant.
2. Sun Protection: As the saying goes ‘too much of everything is bad’, so as good as the sun is for your skin, overexposure can also damage your skin. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems - as well as increase the risk of skin cancer. This applies to every skin color, (my fellow dark and brown skin people who think they’re safe). With that said here are some ways you can protect yourself from the sun while still enjoying the full benefits of the vitamin D it gives. Sun protection is crucial for keeping your skin healthy and preventing skin damage. Applying sunscreen with at least SPF 30 before going outside and reapplying throughout the day is an essential step in protecting your skin.
3. Antioxidants: Antioxidants are substances that protect your skin from damage caused by free radicals, which are molecules that can harm skin cells. Antioxidants can be found in many foods such as berries, leafy greens, and nuts. Adding these foods to your diet can help to protect your skin and improve its overall health.
4. Moisturizers: Using a good quality moisturizer can help to keep your skin hydrated and prevent dryness. Moisturizers work by trapping water in your skin, which can help to prevent wrinkles and fine lines. It's important to choose a moisturizer that is appropriate for your skin type, so it doesn't cause irritation or breakouts.
5. Exfoliation: Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. This can help to improve the texture and appearance of your skin, making it look smoother and brighter. However, it's important to exfoliate gently to avoid damaging your skin.
6. Sleep: Getting enough sleep is essential for healthy skin. During sleep, your body repairs and regenerates skin cells, so it's important to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Lack of sleep can cause dark circles under the eyes, fine lines, and a dull complexion.

There are many things that are good for the skin. Staying hydrated, protecting your skin from the sun, using moisturizers and exfoliants, and getting enough sleep are all essential steps in maintaining healthy, glowing skin. By incorporating these practices into your daily routine, you can improve your skin's overall health and appearance.

Till next time

Love
