We all want to have clear skin, that’s why it’s a billion dollar industry.

The majority of celebrities take notice of the skincare as a priority when they know they will be pictured so often, but it’s also something anyone can address. In fact, anybody can have clear skin with two simple factors : lifestyle and routine.

Lifestyle: the first step before a good skincare routine

This is perhaps the simplest part of getting clear skin, the lifestyle. Simply put, drink plenty of water, get enough exercise, get plenty of sleep and cut down on poor dieting habits and replace them with healthier options.

Oh and stop touching your face so much, massive amounts of bacteria are transferred to your face every single time you do this.

The lifestyle changes are paramount as the routine can only do so much, but when combined these to factors can seriously improve your complexion.

Face routine : what you have to do

For this routine you will need:

  • A face scrub
  • A face wash for oily, dry or sensitive skin
  • A face moisturiser

That’s all, nothing more, nothing less.
Firstly, wash your face with warm water, this will open your capillaries to make the entire routine more effective.
Then (only 2 days out of the week) apply your face scrub, rub in a circular motion and make sure to be careful to make sure areas such as the nose, forehead and chin and fully scrubbed as they are prime areas for spots and blemishes. Now wash it off your face again.
Thirdly (or secondly 5 days out of 7) apply your face wash, again rub in a circular motion, making sure to cover the entire face. Rinse and repeat one more time, again taking time to rub the face wash in properly, after leaving the second application of face wash in for two minutes, rinse again.
Dry your face off gently with a towel before applying the moisturiser. Make sure to rub in on the entire face and neck as to ensure you are completely covered. Once you can no longer see the moisturiser itself on your face, but can still feel it, you know you have finished.
If you keep this up and apply the lifestyle changes alongside the routine, you will never have to worry about anything less than an excellent complexion.
*Note- When buying the products you need, follow the basic rule of thumb of “the more natural the better” and ensure you buy the correct type for your skin whether you have drier or more oily skin.
