It is possible to get glowing skin if you make a conscious effort to take care of your skin, improve your lifestyle, and use the right skin care and makeup products. Getting healthy and glowing skin and maintaining it involves a lot of dedication.
Skin Care Tweaks
1. Know Your Skin Type
Unless you know your skin type, you cannot pick the right skin care and makeup products that suit it.
- Dry skin: Your skin feels tight, flaky, and parched.
- Oily skin: Your T-zone is greasy and shiny.
- Combination skin: Your T-zone is greasy, but your cheeks and jaw are dry.
- Normal skin: Your skin is neither too oily nor excessively dry.
- Sensitive skin: Your skin easily turns red and gets inflamed and itchy.
2. Follow A Regular CTM Routine
CTM stands for Cleansing, Toning, and Moisturizing. Sticking to a daily CTM routine is essential to cleanse and moisturize your skin properly. Once you find out your skin type, get a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer that suits your skin. Follow the CTM routine twice a day – in the morning and at night.
3. Exfoliation Is Important
When you don’t exfoliate your skin, the dead cells keep accumulating on its surface, making it look dull and patchy. You can use a physical exfoliator (face scrubs) or a chemical exfoliator (face acids).
If you are using a physical exfoliator, make sure it is not too harsh on your skin. Use exfoliators that have very finely ground particles or round grain-like particles that gently buff the dead cells away.
4. Use A Peeling Mask
This is a once-a-week indulgence. A peeling mask smoothens your skin and evens out your skin tone by getting rid of more dead skin cells compared to regular exfoliating scrubs.
