When it comes to skin care, guys don’t necessarily have the best track record. If you want to look your best, you need to take care of your skin. It takes only a tiny bit of time and effort out of your day, and some quick essential skin care will help you look and feel healthier and livelier. The key is consistency, so dedicate yourself to a daily routine so you can always look sharp. Here are some quick and easy skin care tips that you can use at home to bring some much-needed care to your skin.
Wash & Exfoliate
Simply having a good hygiene routine will help your skin stay clean. Using a good quality cleanser and some lukewarm water on your face will help wash away some dead skin cells that can accumulate on your skin, causing your skin to look dull. Add an exfoliating scrub into the mix to get a bit of a deeper clean to clear your skin of dirt and oils while cleaning your pores to helping prevent acne. However, over-exfoliation can be bad for your skin, so limit using scrubs to at most 2 days per week.
Make Sure Your Moisturize
No one likes dry and flaky skin, so it’s important to use a moisturizer. Your skin needs moisture, and things like working out, being out in the sun, and exposure to pollutants can dry your skin out. Putting a moisturizer on your skin will help lock in moisture so your skin can stay hydrated and looking healthy.
Hydrate
As we said, your skin needs moisture, and other than using a moisturizer, nothing is going to help keep you skin hydrated the way drinking a steady amount of water every day. It’s recommended that you drink 8 glasses or 64 ounces of water per day. Instead of reaching for that soft drink, grab a refreshing glass of water instead; your skin will thank you for it.
Watch What You Eat & Drink
Your diet plays a huge role when it comes to how your skin looks. You know that saying “you are what you eat”? Well, you can bet if you’re eating greasy fast food or foods high in sugar, your skin is going to show it, most likely in the form of acne. Try to improve your diet with some healthier options, such as fruits that are high in water content, and your skin will start to look and feel a lot healthier! Eating is a great way to look and feel your best.
