Spring is finally here! And a perfect time for changing up your skin care routine to get rid of dry, flaky skin from the cold weather and swap it out for a smooth glow for the season of new beginnings. Whether you have specific areas that need special care, or you want an overall revitalization, these tips will help you!
1. Exfoliate
The buildup of dry, dead cells on the skin’s surface is what gives it that dull look. By using a good, mild facial scrub and gently exfoliating once or twice a week, you will reveal the smooth, healthy skin underneath. Exfoliating can allow moisturizers and serums to better penetrate the skin and help your foundation glide on smoothly instead of sitting on top of flaky skin. If you don’t exfoliate the dead cells, your skin can appear dull and, in time, pores can become blocked, which often leads to a breakout or acne. Skin Solutions Gentle Face Scrub with exfoliating particles obtained from hardened natural jojoba wax removes dead skin cells and cleanses the skin down to the pores. The skin immediately radiates healthy freshness and feels velvety soft.
2. Hydrate Yourself
From helping your skin maintain elasticity, to reducing wrinkles and fine lines, water can do amazing things for your skin and for your overall health. People who drink large amounts of water are less likely to suffer from scars, wrinkles, and soft lines and they won't show as many signs of aging as those who drink small amounts of water. Your skin is the largest organ in your body, protecting you, storing lipids and water, preventing fluid loss and serving as thermoregulation. Drinking more water is the most natural way to get that glowing and healthy skin we all want. How much water you should drink in a day depends on metabolism, weight, height and your daily routine. Generally, adults should drink between 6 and 8 glasses of water everyday, and even more if needed.
3. Use a Light Moisturizer
Your spring moisturizer should be formulated to hydrate and replenish the skin’s moisture barrier without overwhelming skin or clogging pores. After exfoliating, make sure you thoroughly rinse away the product and any dead skin cells and then pat your skin dry with a clean towel, and apply a lightweight moisturizer to help your skin retain moisture and look radiant. Herbacin Skin Solutions Daily Skin Moisturizer with its hydro booster made of hyaluronic acid, myo-inositol and fucose biopolymer provides skin with moisture for up to 24 hours, while noticeably smoothing it.
4. Wear Sunscreen, Even on Cloudy Days
Now that the sun is out, it’s very important to make sure that you have SPF protection all day long.
This means a 30-50 factor sunscreen each and every day. You must fit this into your daily skincare routine because nothing ages skin faster than the sun. When sunlight hits your skin and damages healthy cells without sun protection, this damage can build up. In time, you see signs of sun damage like freckles, age spots, and wrinkles. Some people develop precancerous skin growths, skin cancer, or both. If you have oily skin, you may want to ditch the moisturizer and use an SPF right after your serum.
5. Eat Fresh Fruits & Veggies
Clear skin is something we all strive towards, and a
simple factor contributing to skin health that is often overlooked is our diet.
Fruits and vegetables, in particular, contain essential vitamins, minerals and
antioxidant properties that contribute to healthier skin. Incorporating these
foods into your diet, along with hydrating well and following a good skincare
routine, will significantly progress your journey to clear and radiant
skin. Here are 10 fruits and veggies that are readily available:
Berries, Citrus Fruits, Tomatoes, Kale, Avocado, Papaya, Watermelon, Sweet
Potatoes, Red Grapes and Broccoli.
6. SOS - Emergency
With all the good intentions and skin care regimens, every now and again there can be a breakout! Your skin just doesn’t behave as it should. Maybe a few too many late nights, a little overindulgence, or a skincare product that just didn’t work for you - whatever the reason, you should always be prepared. Herbacin Skin Solutions Anti-Blemish Gel soothes blemishes and clears them up quickly. It has a proven triple plant formula of aloe vera, chamomile and marigold, with the powerful active ingredients of pantheon and bisabolol, it’s anti-inflammatory and promotes skin regeneration. Always keep this handy for an unexpected skin emergency!
Have a wonderful Spring!
