5 Important Beauty and Skincare Steps You May be Overlooking

It is common to get into such a set routine with health and beauty that it can be hard to think about the steps you may be forgetting. Here are some important steps that you might want to consider adding into your routine.

Sun Cream

It may sound unusual, but applying sun cream to your face every single day is important even if it is overcast. The sun’s rays are still being absorbed into your skin if it is a cloudy day, so by wearing sun cream, you are protecting your skin from being damaged. Wearing sun cream is also such a great way to prevent aging skin. You can buy moisturisers that already have SPF in them so by switching your usual moisturiser, you aren’t adding any more time into your current routine.

Teeth Alignment

If your teeth are somewhat out of place, you may find it difficult to clean them properly, leading to gum problems and staining. However, you can choose to straighten them using clear braces. Straight My Teeth offer completely invisible braces that will help you achieve your perfect smile in about 6-14 months. It is such a simple process – just take a 30 second free assessment to see what the best solution is for your teeth, and if you decide to go ahead, they will send you your own impressions kit. When they have received your impressions, you can then order your own clear aligners that you can put in yourself.

Water

Drinking enough water is so important, not only for your health, but for your skin care too. Dehydration can lead to dry and aging skin. To make sure you are drinking enough water, you could purchase a water bottle that measures out how much water you have drank in the day which will help you stay on top of it. As well as a water bottle, you can also find apps that will allow you to log how many glasses of water you have had.

Vitamin C Serum

Vitamin C serum is great for reversing a lot of the damage that the sun and pollution does to our skin. It can also help reduce pigmentation and keeps your skin looking youthful and bright. Our bodies don’t naturally produce vitamin C, but it is great for wound healing and hydration, so this is not a step to miss.

Sleep

Getting a good night’s sleep is so important not only for your health and wellbeing, but your skin will reap the benefits too. When you are asleep, your skin makes new collagen, which makes your skin plumper and can help prevent the signs of aging. Not getting enough sleep can also make the skin around your eyes discoloured, which is usually very noticeable as it is the thinnest skin on our bodies. Sleep is also great for strengthening your immune system, which in turn can help immunity related skin problems like eczema or acne.
