while also keeping your touch gentle<br />
— the tools to your skincare are<br />
your hands! Since skin is thinnest<br />
around the eyes, they often<br />
age first, so be sure to take care of<br />
that area.<br />
Daily regimen. Implementing a daily<br />
skin care regimen will get you into the early<br />
habit of taking a few extra minutes to show<br />
your skin some TLC. You can modify this list<br />
to what fits your lifestyle, but here’s an overview of<br />
some great steps to a routine:<br />
#1. EXFOLIATE Use an exfoliator 2-3 times a<br />
week to remove dead skin cells.<br />
#2. CLEANSE Use a gentle cleanser daily, even if<br />
your skin isn’t sensitive.<br />
#3. TONE The necessity of toner in your routine is<br />
highly debated between all sorts of online blogs and<br />
dermatological testimonies, but it can be worth it if<br />
you’re looking to improve your complexion. You can<br />
substitute this with micellar water, which removes<br />
excess dirt and has similar benefits to a cleanser.<br />
#4. MOISTURIZE This is an incredibly important<br />
step. Moisturized skin helps prevent aging. Your<br />
skin craves moisture (think about when your lips<br />
get chapped), so in addition to this, drink tons<br />
of water.<br />
#5. OILS This is for those of us with skin like<br />
the desert. Skip this step if you have oily skin, as<br />
the oil is meant to provide nutrients your skin lacks.<br />
#6. SERUMS Something all skin types should take<br />
the time to do. Something like a Vitamin C serum,<br />
which plumps skin, does just the trick.<br />
#7. EYE CREAM Small amount, ring finger,<br />
tapping motions — simple as that. You can actually<br />
use any excess on the skin around your lips to help<br />
with fine lines and wrinkles.<br />
#8. SUNSCREEN Can you tell how important<br />
layering on some SPF is? Use this in conjunction<br />
with everything else.<br />
Befriend a dermatologist. Remember to eat well and<br />
consult a nutritionist if you’re interested in vitamins and<br />
supplements. These things play a huge role in your outward<br />
appearance, although you might not see results as fast as<br />
the other tips. Try not to get too stressed out over aging<br />
because it’s the natural cycle of life. Aging is unavoidable,<br />
so take care of your body, and your body will love you back<br />
— after all, you only get one in your lifetime! *<br />
