5. Clay Mask
Clay masks have been around for a long time, think ancient, because it was always considered a great way to help with any excess oil and clogged pores. So if you have oily skin, this tip is for you! They are quite gentle on the skin and tend to take any dirt and oil off your skin gradually.
For this specific method, you need to leave the clay mask until it feels rock-solid, and you can see every pore through the mask. Rinse away with warm water, and there you are, enjoy your blackhead-free life!
6. Oil-Free Sunscreen
So you have your whole 7 step skincare routine, but it doesn’t include daily sunscreen, essentially you’re doing nothing for your skin. The sun is known to be the devil of skin. It is what causes most wrinkles and signs of aging. So get on that!
But choose wisely, because adding a layer of oil on top of all your moisturizers may not be the best since it’s clogging your pores and causing those nasty blackheads. Some of the best are physical sunscreens, but they tend to be too thick and may leave a white cast. So be warned!
7. Charcoal Masks
This type of face mask pops all of the unwanted gunk from your face. It is a great detoxifier because it functions by going deep into the pores to extract the impurities and dirt. This leaves all those dull skin cells and makes for an overall better skin complexion.
People with acne will greatly benefit from this kind of treatment and begin to see results very early on. We, however, are not talking about cystic acne, this kind of problem should be addressed with a dermatologist.
8. Washing your face
We know it sounds silly, but cleansing your face in the morning and at night is crucial for a better overall complexion. Now, we advocate the double cleansing technique, a Korean invention, that advocates for a 2 step product in this category. An oil-based one and another one based on your skin’s needs. This way, you know you have got all of the pollution and dirt off of your face and can continue with the rest of your skincare.
And if you exercise, you need to wash your face as soon as you can, so that any bacteria doesn’t have time to sit on your skin! So now that you have all this new information, you will for sure try and do a few of the tips we gave you. With guaranteed results!
Clean skin equals you living your best life, trust us! But one thing you should keep in mind if that skincare is very personal, what works for some may not work for you, and that’s ok. You need to make time to understand what your skin needs and what products and ingredients work best. When in doubt, do your research, it’ll save you time and spare your wallet!
