Wash your face once or twice a day, or when you heavily sweat, using lukewarm water and alcohol-free cleanser. Then apply a herbal moisturizer. This is an ideal bedtime routine to help your skin repair itself as you sleep. Exfoliate your skin and do an oil massage once or twice a week, depending on your skin type. Always apply sunscreen when you step out.<\/p>\n<p>Finding the best skin care regimen is so important. It impacts how you look, and your skin\u2019s health! But with so many different skin types and products out there, it can get confusing.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there are rules that apply to all skin types. They can also be personalized for all ages, whether you\u2019re in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or older. Check out these basic tips to get the most out of your skin care regimen.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"3 Tips for Beautiful Skin (Hindi)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gb901yzd7Io?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"don't-overwash\">1. Don\u2019t Overwash<\/h2>\n<p>It might be tempting to wash your face every\u00a0so often because you think it\u2019s oily and grimy, but this is actually harmful. Washing your face too many times a day will strip your skin of its natural oils and dry it out.<\/p>\n<p>Stick to washing your face once or twice a day. Once at night and maybe once in the morning if you have oily skin. The most important time, however, is at night before bedtime. Removing makeup, sweat, and dirt is a must. All of these can clog your skin pores and house acne-causing bacteria.<\/p>\n<p>Though you should ideally wash your face twice a day, wash well if you have sweated a lot after strenuous physical activities or after stepping out in the sun.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Priyanka Chopra&#039;s Guide to Skincare | Little Black Book | Harper&#039;s BAZAAR\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bMwG1R3sXnE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"use-lukewarm-water-not-hot-water\">2. Use Lukewarm Water Not Hot\u00a0 Water<\/h2>\n<p>If you love steaming hot showers, think again. The high temperature takes away your skin\u2019s natural oil, making it super dry. You might even end up with unpleasant flakiness. It can be irritating for all skin types but especially if you\u2019re trying to follow a skin care regime for dry skin.<\/p>\n<p>Cold water is great for an energizing wake-up call. It may even relieve depressive symptoms\u00a0while soothing breakouts. However, more research needs to be done on cold water and skin care.<\/p>\n<p>Lukewarm water is the best, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Daily skincare routine for healthy skin | Be Beautiful\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wyTgYgMli74?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"use-alcohol-free-cleanser\">3. Use Alcohol-Free Cleanser<\/h2>\n<p>Avoiding alcohol products is essential if you are serious about your skin health.\u00a0Alcohol can dry out your skin and even irritate it. And while it might seem like alcohol is the best way to kill bacteria, there are gentler options.<\/p>\n<p>These days, it\u2019s easy to find alcohol-free cleansers in stores. But you can also just use honey which is a gentle and potent antibacterial agent. Some people like to use coconut oil or castile soap. Add a few drops of tea tree, lavender, or rosemary oil for added antibacterial benefits.<\/p>\n<p>You should also skip heavily perfumed or colored cleansers. These are full of alcohol and other chemicals that are harmful to your skin. Instead, stick to natural skin cleansers like apple cider vinegar, yogurt, or honey and lemon.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"always-moisturize\">4. Always Moisturize<\/h2>\n<p>Every top skin care regimen must include a moisturizer. Use it right after you cleanse your skin and whenever your skin is dry.\u00a0Again, opt for a moisturizer that\u2019s free of alcohol and other preservatives.\u00a0Those will just dry your skin out without doing its job.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you have oily skin, you can still moisturize. The goal is to use remedies that won\u2019t clog your pores. Natural ingredients like aloe vera gel and milk are soothing.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"use-sunscreen\">5. Use Sunscreen<\/h2>\n<p>Forget about expensive creams and lotions. Regularly using sunscreen is the number one anti-aging skin care regimen out there. It\u2019ll protect your skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays that can damage and destroy your skin cells. Skin damage from the sun\u2019s rays shows up as age spots and wrinkles.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, sunscreen will decrease your risk of skin cancer. The American Association of Dermatology warns that anyone can develop skin cancer and that 1 in 5 Americans will get it.\u00a0You\u2019ll also be less likely to get a sunburn.<\/p>\n<p>Protect yourself by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30. Apply it to every inch of your exposed skin every 2 hours.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"exfoliate-your-skin\">6.\u00a0Exfoliate Your Skin<\/h2>\n<div class=\"simplePullQuote right\">\n<blockquote><p>DIY Honey Sugar Face Scrub<\/p>\n<p>Mix 1 tsp honey and 1\/2 tsp sugar in a bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Apply the mixture on your face.<\/p>\n<p>Rinse off after 10 minutes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>Several people skip exfoliating their skin, believing it is completely unnecessary. But the truth is, your skin needs something stronger to get rid of dead cells. And that\u2019s exactly what exfoliation does. As you age, it takes more time for the skin to develop new cells and as a result, dead cells could pile up. This eventually leads to clogged pores and pimples.<\/p>\n<p>Exfoliate your skin once a week. If you have dry or sensitive skin, opt for something mild. For oily skin, pick something that contains charcoal. Also, don\u2019t use a body scrub on your face. Body scrubs are harsh for the delicate facial skin.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"do-oil-massages\">7. Oil Massage<\/h2>\n<p>Facial oil massages should be an important part of your skin care routine.\u00a0Oils are known for their moisturizing and anti-bacterial effects on the skin. Not to mention, they keep the skin soft and supple. Coconut oil, jojoba oil, olive oil, almond oil, and\u00a0rosehip oil work wonders on your face. Make sure to massage your face once or twice a week, depending on your skin type.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Skin Whitening Tomato Facial | Get Fair, Glowing, Spotless Skin Permanently\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZxKfQVxlE9w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"follow-a-bedtime-routine\">8. Follow A Bedtime Routine<\/h2>\n<p>At\u00a0night, your skin repairs itself and the cells regenerate. This is the perfect time to show your skin a little love.\u00a0Remove your makeup, clean your face, and moisturize your skin. Stick to this ritual and you would wake up to fresher and radiant skin. Remember, your skin loves to be pampered. Once you start following a bedtime routine, you would notice visible results in a matter of a few days.<\/p>\n<p>Healthy habits also matter. Avoid smoking cigarettes, since it reduces the collagen in your skin. Don\u2019t forget to drink lots of water to keep your body and skin hydrated. And of course, eat lots of fruits and veggies. These foods will fuel your skin with antioxidants that\u2019ll keep you beautiful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Though it&#8217;s essential to keep your skin free of dust and grime, washing it too many times robs it of &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Best Skin Care Routine To Maintain Beautiful, Youthful Skin\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/news\/skin\/best-skin-care-routine-to-maintain-beautiful-youthful-skin\/#more-5237\" aria-label=\"More on Best Skin Care Routine To Maintain Beautiful, Youthful Skin\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5238,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[42],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Best-Skin-Care-Routine-To-Maintain-Beautiful-Youthful-Skin.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5237"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5237"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5237\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
