1. Hydrate
Drink lots of water! Add some lemon or other sliced fruits like strawberries, lime, or blueberries to make hydration fun and tasty with fruit infusion! Staying hydrated is some of the best advice for beautiful skin.
2. Moisturize
Many of us fail to moisturize regularly. Even if you have oily skin, applying a moisturizer is essential for a flawless complexion.
3. Blemish Control
Tea Tree Oil is perfect for healing skin. Its natural antibacterial properties are ideal for treating blemishes, cleaning pores, and helping prevent future breakouts.
4. Grab Your Toothpaste
Toothpaste isn’t just for your teeth! If you have a zit pop up out of nowhere, put a spot of toothpaste over it! The toothpaste will dry it out, and will ease any irritation.
5. Ice, Ice Baby
Before applying any products to your face, start by rubbing an ice cube over it. The coolness with help tighten your skin, minimize pores, and increase circulation and blood flow. Ice will also reduce any puffiness under the eyes.
6. Sponge on SPF
Use a blender sponge to put on your SPF! This method helps the SPF penetrate the skin better and helps eliminate the gooey-like feeling it can leave behind on your skin.
7. Eat your Water
Help your skin cells by eating hydrating fruits and vegetables! Grapefruit, watermelon, and cucumber are great choices! Skin cells absorb more water through water-rich foods compared to drinking water.
8. Alternate Between Warm and Cold Facial Packs
Give your complexion a boost and increase blood flow, skin elasticity, and moisture. Take a soft towel, dampen it with cold water and place it on the face. Repeat the process with warm water. Do this a few times a week to see results.
9. Rice Water Cleanser
Grind white rice in a blender and add lukewarm water until it makes a yogurt-like paste. With your fingertips, massage the cleanser onto your skin. Rinse well. This homemade cleanser will help your skin's elasticity, and hydrate skin cells as they are infused with oxygen.
10. Change Your Products
Your skin changes with the seasons, so why wouldn’t you change your skincare products too? Our skin is a living organ and can change year-round. So make sure to have a variety of products that compliment your skin 365 days a year.
11. No Smoking
Smoking is not only bad for our lungs, it is also incredibly damaging to our skin. Smoking deprives the skin of oxygen as the capillaries below the skin are constricted. So do your skin a favor and avoid smokey situations!
12. Don’t Forget Your Eyes
Your eyelids and the skin surrounding your eyes are the thinnest and most delicate, which is why signs of aging often appear here first! The best eye creams contain peptides and antioxidants, so take some time and find an eye cream that fits your skin type and personal skincare needs.
13. Silky Soft!
You had a great night's sleep but now your skin is dented with sleep lines! But where did those lines come from? You can blame your cotton pillowcase for that! The friction from cotton can also create inflammation, making conditions like acne worse. Try switching to a silk pillowcase - your skin will thank you for it!
14. Keep Your Phone Clean
Did you know your mobile phone can carry at least 7,000 DIFFERENT kinds of bacteria? That is more than a toilet seat! Yikes! So wipe down your phone regularly and switch to a hands-free method of talking!
15. Tone, Tone, Tone
Let's face it, most of us skip using a toner, but why? Could it be that we aren't sure exactly what it is they do? Toners help to restore our skin's natural pH balance as well as remove any of the impurities that our facial cleanser may have left on the skin. So we really should be using a toner as part of our skincare regimens.
16. Beauty Sleep
Dark circles, aka "raccoon eyes", is the hyperpigmentation of the delicate skin surrounding the eye. This is directly related to not getting all of your beauty sleep. During sleep, our bodies work hard to restore our skin's natural beauty. So be kind and get at least 7 hours of sleep a night.
17. Second Round Coffee Grounds
Save your coffee grounds and put them to work! After brewing, take your used coffee grounds and mix them with your favorite body wash or with hot water and use them as an exfoliant. Coffee grounds increase circulation and blood flow while helping stop the development of cellulite and smooth the skin.
18. Flawless Arms and Legs
Try this beauty tip if you need to show some skin! Take some moisturizer and mix it in with your foundation. Finish it off with a setting spray so the color doesn't rub off on your clothes.
19. The Perfect Glow!
Use lip stain for perfect blushed cheeks. The trick is to apply lip stain to the cheeks before applying your foundation. Yes, stain under your foundation! The foundation softens the stain, making sure it is not too intense, leaving you with the perfect glow.
20. Naturally Fuller Lips
Plump up your lips with this all-natural beauty trick for women. Add some mint extract to your favorite lip gloss before applying. Mint increases circulation and blood flow, making your lips more full and plump.
21. Blemish Control
For blemish control or to ease a painful eruption, make a paste from aspirin and water. Apply the paste to the breakout site, let it sit for 10 to 20 min, then wipe away the paste. This miracle paste will reduce redness and swelling from the area.
22. Steep Green Tea and Make it Into Ice Cubes
Green tea is full of anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that do wonders for our skin. Green tea protects the skin from the damage caused by the sun and UV rays. Green tea can also prevent and treat acne, among other skin disorders. Steep some green tea, pour it into ice trays and freeze. Once a day, take one of the tea cubes, run it over your face and let it air dry. Then, rinse with plain water and pat dry with a soft towel.
23. Vitamin C
If you want a brighter, more youthful appearance, apply vitamin C directly to your skin. Vitamin C helps to restore collagen and elastin, creating a more even skin tone.
24. Never Be Too Shy to Ask
There are tons of beauty tips and tricks out there, but remember, everyone has different skin, so a product that works for you may not work for someone else. The best thing to do is to find experts, peers, and communities that can give you skincare tips, insights, and direction!
