No matter how old you are, you probably want the best skin you’ve ever had, right? I know that’s how I feel. Luckily, at any age, there are lots of things you can do to instantly get great skin. Using these tips can help you feel as great as you look any day of the week. Of course, if your skin woes persist, it’s important to see your dermatologist to rule out scary health problems and receive quick treatment. Here’s what you can do for instantly better looking skin.
Sure, it’s a temporary fix, but wearing a good foundation every day helps even out your complexion and cover up age spots and mask wrinkles. Look for one of the new products that can also combat the signs of aging. With a simple swipe of your makeup sponge, you get instantly better looking skin, even if it only lasts until you wash your face at night.
Fruits and vegetables are great sources of antioxidants, which fight free radical damage and promote healthy skin. Making healthier choices can instantly give your skin a boost that makes it glow in a healthy way. Any fruits and veggies are good choices, but the brightly colored ones have more antioxidants. Blueberries, blackberries, cantaloupe, sweet potatoes, kale and eggplant are great options. At the same time, you must limit junk food or you undo all the progress you make with healthy foods.
Exfoliating your skin effectively removes dead skin cells and product buildup that can leave your complexion dull and lifeless. Sloughing off all of that junk lets the healthy and radiant skin beneath shine through. You can exfoliate your entire body and you’ll be amazed at how much softer, smoother and more radiant your skin looks.
Experts say that instead of piling on a bunch of different skincare products, you should keep your skincare routine simple. A cleanser, exfoliator, moisturizer and anti-aging face product are pretty much all you need. And of course, you also need sunscreen all over your body every single day. The less junk you have on your face, the better it’s going to look.
Retinoids can help prevent aging and mask what wrinkles and age spots are already there. Apply it at night and it does its magic while you sleep. What could be better than that? Ask your dermatologist to give you a prescription for a retinoid product that is right for your skin type. You’ll be so glad you did!
Too much salt can leave your skin looking sallow because your body will suck the moisture from it since sodium is dehydrating in large amounts. You also want to watch your protein intake because skimping on protein can wreak havoc on your skin. Good sources of protein include chicken, fish and lean beef. Beans, dairy foods and eggs are non-meat alternatives.
You know that sleeping in makeup can lead to breakouts and other nasty skin issues. Washing your face every night only takes a couple of minutes and is totally worth the effort. Makeup removal wipes get the job done in just seconds. You’ll love how much better your skin looks in the morning when you wash it before you hit the sack.
