Your skin is with you forever, and it’s usually one of the first things people notice about you. Obviously, it’s important to take good care of it, but many people damage their skin on a daily basis without even realizing it.
If you’re wondering where your dry skin is coming from, or why you have random morning breakouts, consider this: Do you take very hot showers? Do you tend to fall asleep at night with your makeup still on? How about your sleep patterns — are you getting less shut eye than you should? Believe it or not, these things can contribute to dry skin and clogged pores. Other culprits of dry skin? Too much caffeine and not drinking enough water.
Maybe your skin isn’t dry, but it isn’t glowing the way you want it to. A few things you can do for healthier skin that you may not have thought of include avoiding chlorinated swimming pools or showering immediately after swimming, covering your face when you use hairspray, cutting back on salt intake, keeping sauna and steam room time to a minimum and keeping your air conditioner turned off more often during warm days.
Your skin is affected by everything from your environment to your diet and makeup choices. So choose wisely, and always remember to consider your skin!
