With all the skincare products, tricks and hacks on the market today, it can be overwhelming and difficult to determine what’s really best for you. Luckily, there are a few longtime (and simple) tips that have proven beneficial for healthy, glowing skin. With just a few minutes a day, these tips can make a significant difference in the overall health and appearance of your skin.
Here are five of our favorite, long-standing daily skin habits to start now:
Wear Sunscreen 365 Days Of The Year
Despite what many believe, your skin is susceptible to damage every time it is exposed to the sun. That means every time you step outside, you should be protected. Whether it is pouring rain, in the middle of the winter or endless sunshine during the summer, be prepared! Wear sunscreen with an SPF strength of 15 or more every day, like our Light & Delicate Sunscreen. Not only will wearing sunscreen protect your skin from sunburns, sun irritations and even skin cancer, but it can also help prevent fine lines, wrinkles, large pores and uneven skin tone.
Enrich Your Diet
What you put in your body is just as important for your skin as the products you apply to your face. A poor diet can deprive you of the necessary vitamins, minerals and amino acids your body needs to create and maintain healthy skin. While fruits and veggies are essential, you also want to make sure to include good carbs and protein, too. Most importantly, drink plenty of water to flush out toxins!

Exfoliate Regularly
A gentle exfoliating product can be used every day or every other, like our Spot & Wrinkle Erasing Scrub. Getting rid of dead skin cell buildup will release trapped oil and dirt, minimize wrinkles and acne, and leave you with brighter, smoother skin. Avoid exfoliators that contain large particles, as they can cause micro-cuts and abrasions.
Moisturize
Moisturizing every day leads to softer and more elastic skin, and keeps you looking healthy and hydrated. While it sounds like an easy task, there are a few things you should keep in mind. Make sure that you buy moisturizers that are best suited for your skin type, taking in dry, oily or acne prone skin. Also, finding a moisturizer with SPF is even better, consolidating the steps in your skincare routine. It’s important to clean with a gentle cleanser prior to applying. Then, start applying when your skin is still slightly damp so the lotion can lock in extra moisture.
