Seven Simple Steps To Healthier Skin
Your skin is the body's largest organ, when healthy, its layers work hard to protect us. But when it's compromised, the skin' ability to work as an effective barrier is impaired. Here are seven ways to improve skin health to support it in maintaining its protective role.
Eat Healthily.
We have said this before, and we will say it again, what you eat is just as important as the topical products you use. Your diet can significantly improve your skin health from the inside out.
Keep Your Skins Moisture Barrier Intact.
If you have tight, dry and sensitive chances are you may have damaged your moisture barrier. The skins moisture barrier keeps the top layer of skin cells hydrated and seal in moisture. When the skin's protective barrier gets damaged, it creates small, invisible cracks in the skin. Moisture can easily escape through these cracks and enables irritants can enter more easily.
Always sleep on a clean pillowcase.
You should be changing your pillowcases weekly. Your skin picks up dirt, bacteria, dead skin cells, saliva, etc. from a pillowcase that hasn't been washed so make sure halfway through the week flip your pillow over and wash it at the end of the week.
Mask Weekly.
Whether your skin is on the drier side, combination or oily the ONNE Moisturising Mask is ideal for balancing, resetting, assisting in locking in moisture and helping to restore the skins moisture barrier.
Exercise.
We are big advocates of the positive effect exercise has on your skin as well as your mood and body. Working out increases circulation, creating that dewy glow. Another major plus: Working up a sweat helps to lower the stress hormone cortisol, which has been linked not only to skin aging but breakouts also.
Get Your Beauty Sleep.
There is a good reason why the phrase 'beauty sleep' came about. When it comes to your beauty routine, sleep might just be the closest thing, there is to a fountain of youth. A great night's sleep can equal excellent skin health. Getting your beauty sleep will improve your skin tone and banish those dark circles.
Double Cleansing.
The of cleaning your skin twice is actually not as excessive as it sounds, it can help prevent breakouts and maintain good skin health. This gentle cleansing method removes excess oil while also maintaining pH balance in your skin which is essential for oil control, whatever your skin type.
