In the world today, we are often addressed first based on our looks, before any other thing is put into consideration. What exactly is a spotless skin?🤔
Having clear, healthy, and glowing skin is just at your fingertip but before launching into it, there are two basic things you need to know and do before embarking on any kind of skincare journey.
Spotless skin in 5 days
1. Â Skin Type:
We all have different skin types and it is important to know your skin type before using any product on your face. The three types of skin are oily skin, dry skin, and the combination of both known as the hybrid mix. If you do not already know your skin type, let’s take a very simple test.
Pick up tissue paper and rub it lightly on your face. If your skin type is oily you’ll notice that the tissue will be oily, If your skin type is dry you will have little particles on the tissue and if you see both that means you have a hybrid mix skin type.
2. Â You are what you eat:
What you take in is very essential to the health of your skin. If you take in unhealthy, greasy, and chemical-filled junk, then the tales will be told on your skin. Two of the most important things for your skin are water and fruit.
Water is as it helps the body to flush toxins out, and increases the flow of blood to your skin which gives it an even tone, it also helps to maintain Ph balance levels which will, in turn, give you glowing skin free of blemishes. Eating a lot of fruits enhances the skin immensely too.
The nutrients from the fruits sip into your skin and leave it looking fresh and healthy. If you are using skin care products and you do not watch what you are taking in, then it would yield little to no result.
There are a lot of chemicals that are applied to the skin to achieve spotless skin but they are not always safe and sometimes even worsen your skin condition. The best route to take for the sake of your skin is natural, especially if you have noticed chemical processed products do not help.
All the ingredients listed are things you most likely have in your house or can easily access in a nearby store. You get this clear skin on a budget!
