1- Avoid Finger Dips in Product Jars
- Your go-to creams might come in jars, but resist the urge to dip your fingers in. It's easy to spread germs, even with clean hands. Instead, opt for a spatula, scoop, or cotton swab for each application. Products with pump action or stick formats, like Luminous Liquid Foundation SPF 18 or HD Mineral Foundation Stick, are great for keeping things clean and simple.
2- Stop the Tug-of-War with Your Skin
- Tugging and pulling at your skin, especially while applying makeup, adds unnecessary stress. This habit, especially around the sensitive eye area, can lead to a loss of elasticity. Be gentle and learn the proper way to apply products like eye cream.
3- Clean Your Cell Phone Screen
- Think about how often you handle your phone. Make it a habit to clean the screen regularly, ideally once a day, but at least weekly. Opt for cleaning solutions that won't damage your phone.
4- Moderate Your Exfoliation
- While exfoliation is beneficial for skin renewal, too much can be irritating. Start with a couple of times a week, focusing on rough areas, and adjust as your skin requires.
5- Don’t Ignore Dehydrated Skin
- Flakiness and tightness are telltale signs your skin needs hydration. Incorporate a hyaluronic acid moisturizer into your routine, and consider a richer cream like Bio-Renew EGF Cream at night to help boost water content and repair the skin's moisture barrier.
6- Clean Your Makeup Brushes Regularly
- Oil and makeup residue can accumulate on your brushes. Clean them thoroughly at least once a week using baby shampoo or a gentle cleanser to prevent buildup and keep your skin clear.
7- Apply Skincare Products in the Right Sequence
- Maximize your skincare routine by applying products in the correct order. For instance, serums should penetrate the skin before you apply sunscreen, which sits on the surface.
8- Never Sleep in Your Makeup
- Leaving makeup on overnight can clog pores and hinder your skin's repair process. Make sure to remove makeup and cleanse your face every night before bed.
9- Don’t Skimp on Sun Protection
- Daily sun exposure can happen without you noticing. Protect your skin by applying sunscreen to all exposed areas every day, and remember to reapply it as needed.
10- Choose the Right Products for Your Skin Type
- Mismatched skincare can upset your skin. Ensure your products align with your skin type – hydrating ingredients for dry skin, purifying elements for oily skin – to keep your skin balanced and happy.
