6 Ways to get Clean,

Healthy-Looking Skin
When it comes to achieving clean and healthy-looking skin, following a daily regimen is key, but there are little changes
beyond washing your face you can make that you may not have thought of. Here are some tips you can implement for
immediate results.
1. Hands off your face
Every time you touch your face, chances are you’re
transmitting dirt, oil and germs onto your skin. So, a handsoff
approach is best. This rule also applies to pimples.
Try to resist the urge to pop or pick at them, or it could
lead to infection.
2. Change your pillowcase
When it comes to keeping your skin clean, changing your
pillowcase as frequently as possible is important. Your
natural hair oils, and hair products if you use them, are
transferred onto the pillowcase and ultimately end up
on your face. Use a clean pillowcase each night, and if
frequent laundering isn’t an option, turn them inside out or
flip your pillow over to help keep impurities from collecting
on your skin.
3. Clean your phone
If your phone is touching your face, there’s a good chance
it’s depositing germs onto it. Clean your phone on a daily
basis using a spray hand sanitiser or antibacterial wipe.
4. Pull your hair back
Your hair is layered with oils, any products you may use on
it, and it also catches debris that it comes into contact with.
These impurities can transfer onto your face, resulting in a
breakout. The solution is to keep your hair pulled back from
your face as often as possible, especially when you’re at
the gym or in bed.
5. Remove your makeup
Sleeping in makeup can cause your pores to become
clogged and lead to acne breakouts. It can also cause dry
skin, redness and irritation. Be sure to thoroughly cleanse
your face of all makeup products, including eye makeup,
each night before bed.
6. Apply your makeup
after finishing your hair
If you apply your makeup and then blow dry your hair, your
makeup can melt. Then, when it dries, it can settle into your
pores, causing them to become clogged. Do your hair first
and you can avoid this problem.
Show your body
some love
Breakouts can occur on areas of your body other
than your face, including your back and shoulders.
To keep the skin on your entire body clean, be sure
to wash from head to toe and use a moisturizer.
Additionally, after a workout, try to change out of your
sweaty clothes immediately, even if you don’t take a
shower right away. And always pat your skin dry with
a clean towel.
