Since you are convinced to reduce your stress hormone and indulge in skincare. It’s time to walk through amazing tricks that will help you to maintain a low-maintenance skincare routine.

Who doesn’t yearn for healthy glowing skin? It’s not like we are not ready to provide what it takes for skin to be flawlessly glowing, it’s just about the time we fail to manage it, because of our tight schedule. But the incredible trick you are about to receive will give you a flexible skincare routine. It doesn’t set in stone you can always change it according to the time you get it.
Here are amazing tricks to maintain a proper skincare routine.
Choose The Right Skin Care Products:
Here we are not only talking about choosing skin products that suit your skin type but also fulfilling your skin requirement. As an instance, if you have only skin and your skincare goal is to remove acne, scars and control excess oil secretion in the skin.
Before you start your skincare regime, examine your skin type and skin problem you are facing and find products that are the right fit for your skin goals. Obviously, it’s a little time-consuming but you only have to do it once, and trust me it will not only help you to achieve flawless skin but also go easy on the pocket.
Follow Basic Skin Care Routine Twice a Day
You surely are aware of the basic skincare routine, if not let me tell you. A basic skincare routine is combined with 3 essential skincare steps that are cleansing, toning, and moisturizing. In short, it is called a CTM routine.
CTM routine deeply cleanses your skin and prevents skin problems while keeping skin moisturizing, these steps are truly essential for every skin type you just need to use the right products that are formulated for your specific skin problems and skin types. You need to do it twice a day for clear glowing skin.
Exfoliate Twice a Week
Apparently, exfoliation is an essential part of the skin routine but it does not necessarily need to be done each and every day. Regardless of your skin type, you can exfoliate your skin twice a week. Well, it’s an ideal requirement for exfoliation, and it’s not set in stone. You can do it more than twice a week if your skin needs it and your schedule permits.
Use Face Mask Once in a Week
How about giving your skin a retreat every weekend. Your skin deserves a face mask at least once a week because it’s relaxing and provides your skin maximum nourishment and for oily skin it controls oil.
If you are more into giving your skin a natural treat on weekends you can opt for home remedies like a face pack with honey, homemade clay mask, and egg mask ect, or you can nurture your skin with a sheet face.
Use a Night Cream
Night time is the best time for nurturing your skin with essential nutrients because it’s the time when without any interruption our skin restores and replenishes itself. Moreover, this is the time when our skin absorbs more nutrients and moisture than any other time in the day.
The best thing is you can achieve your skin goals just using a night cream at night. For instance, if you have oily skin you can use night creams for oily skin that controls oil, fights acne, and removes acne scars. Besides, there are night creams available for targeting your specific skin goals like skin whitening and anti-aging night creams.
Apply Sunscreen Everyday
It comes right after your basic skincare routine and before makeup. Sunscreen is a lifeline for healthy skin. It doesn’t only help to prevent suntan but also prevents signs of ageing, uneven skin tone, skin cancer, and dark circles.
Again, before you use sunscreen make sure it is the right fit for you and doesn’t make skin like a greasy pan and has at least SPF 30. Moreover, if you spend more time outdoors, sunscreen needs to be applied every 2-3 hours.
Nutrients Rich Diet
Our food habits are not only linked to our health but also determine our skin health. Oily skin beauties know what they get every time they eat oily food. Don’t you. Well, the effects of a poor diet are more likely to be noticeable on oily skin but if it’s not being visible on dry and normal skin it doesn’t mean it’s not impairing their skin.
Dermatologists recommend including antioxidant fruits in the diet as well as omega 3 and 6 fatty acids is considered to be great for maintaining skin health. Fatty acids deeply nourished skin improves skin cells and skin elasticity drastically and makes your skin soft as a child.
