Girls with Good Skin Never Break These Rules ...

We all know that one girl that has flawless, fabulous skin, seemingly without any effort on her part. Instead of seething with jealousy, consider taking some tips from her book and making changes to your skincare routine. It’s hard to break old habits, but once you do, you may just notice that you have the skin everyone covets. Here are some rules that girls never break if they want to have gorgeous, glowing skin that turns heads and makes people talk.

1 The Wear Sunscreen Every Single Day

hair, eyebrow, face, black hair, nose, I can’t claim to have the best skin on the planet, but I do wear SPF every day. It protects against the signs of aging and can keep redness at bay. Even if you don’t plan on being outside, you should still wear sunscreen under your makeup. Exposure to UV rays while you drive or sit near a window are also damaging. Bottom line – sunscreen can give you the best looking skin you’ve ever had.

2 They Never Smoke a Cigarette

human action, person, woman, photography, beauty, The research on smoking uncovers new dangers all the time. Not only can smoking create deep lines on your face from using your muscles in a repeated manner when you puff, but the toxins in the cigarettes can do a number on your skin. That includes making you look older than you are and leaving you with a dull, lifeless complexion. Never, ever pick up a smoke. If you already do, work with your doctor so you can quit ASAP.

3 They Make Exercise a Priority

hair, human hair color, black hair, brown, face, When you exercise, it boosts circulation, which improves oxygen flow to your skin. That results in fewer breakouts and a healthier glow. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest getting at least 30 minutes, most days of the week. Anything that gets your heart pumping works, including running, biking and taking a Zumba class at the local gym.

4 They Make Exfoliation a Normal Part of Their Routine

hair, eyebrow, face, black hair, nose, There was a time when I never exfoliated and that’s a bad thing. Exfoliating your skin on a regular basis helps unclog pores and sweep away any nasty stuff that’s lurking there. The experts recommend exfoliating at least once or twice a week to get rid of dead skin cells, built up product and bacteria on your skin. It’s easy to do and won’t take that much time.

5 They Don’t Eat a Lot of Junk Food

hair, human hair color, face, eyebrow, black hair, Ladies with perfect skin know that they shouldn’t eat a lot of junk. That means they avoid the drive-thru, don’t eat a bunch of candy or soda and avoid cake, cookies and other junk like that. Of course, you can cheat now and then, but your skin relies on a healthy and well-balanced mix of nutrients to keep it healthy and lovely. Make sure you’re eating a variety of fruits, veggies, lean protein, low-fat dairy foods and whole grains for the best skin you’ve ever had.

6 They Never, Ever Pick at Their Face

hair, eyebrow, face, black hair, nose, This one is so hard! When I have a pimple, it just feels natural to pop it and move on. However, girls with the best skin will tell you that you should just keep your hands off. When you mess around with your breakouts, you run the risk of spreading bacteria, leading to more breakouts. Picking can also leave your with scars that are hard to cover up.

7 They See Their Dermatologist on Regular Basis

hair, face, nose, black hair, beauty, I make an appointment with my dermatologist at least once a year. She gives me a skin cancer check and we talk about any issues I’m having with my skin. If you suffer from recurrent skin issues like acne, you should probably see your skin doctor more often.

emmssnw I don't follow even one of these rules and I have spotless skin. I also never take my makeup off before bed and does absolutely not get enough sleep haha..

jonnaaa I have good skin but i break a few of these rules..
- Mabelle @jonnaaa, me too. I am guilty of number 5.
Ella I have good skin and Ali do is eat moderately healthy take me make up off before I go to bed put face cream on and get lots of sleep x
lavie @dennall I do microdermabrasion at home. The roller cost me twelve dollars and it works very well
- Mabelle @lavie, do you use a serum for the roller? What do you recommend? Or do you use the roller only?
lavie I have good skin from following a strict skincare regime twice a day, putting on face masks at least twice a week, and drinking a lot of water
- Mabelle @lavie, Yep water is best for the healthy looking skin. Getting enough sleep was not also in the list but is important in keeping skin young and healthy.
Dennalll @chloe not true for everyone I have to have and a microdermabrasion beats a drugstore facial hands down
Chloe @dennall ....professional facial is completely unnecessary one from a drugstore will work just fine
peony I have great skin and i do break some of the rule but i have never smoked so there is truth to having great skin
Dennalll Oh and limit alchol it really does nothing for your skin at all
TinkerbellMoi This article is totally me.
Joy ...and they drink a whole lot of water!!!
Dennalll Get a professional facial once a week, wash your face straight after exercise. As Sheryl said never sleep with make up on. Eat a range of fresh fruit and vegetables to keep your vitamin intake up, your immune system helps keep your skin at its best.
sheryl You forgot never sleep with makeupnon and drink a ton of water :)
