Changing Habits For Brighter Skin
1 Peel Your Skin
A buildup of dead skin cells on the outer layer can make the complexion appear less than appealing, and to improve it use a body scrub made out of sugar or salt to peel regularly. Wet your skin before showering or bathing then move in an upward circular movement over your entire body as this method allows you to “clean” and brighten it effectively!
- To effectively peel your face, it is best to utilize a gentler facial scrubber such as ground up oats or almonds – these natural peelers won’t damage delicate facial skin and will provide optimal peeling properties without harming its delicate structure.
- Use of a dry brush is another effective peeling strategy. Select one with standard filaments, and brush all areas of your body prior to showering or taking a bath or shower.
2 Keep It Moisturized
Moisturizing regularly will prevent dead skin cells from multiplying quickly, giving your complexion more luminosity. For the best results, apply an everyday lotion after your shower or tub session to achieve this aim – choose one without alcohol as this can dry out your skin even further.
- Coconut oil is an incredible cream for maintaining youthful and vital skin. Apply coconut oil after emerging from the shower on both arms and legs before waiting ten minutes before dressing yourself in clothing.
- Jojoba oil boasts excellent moisturizing properties that can nourish skin deeply, while olive and almond oils may also prove helpful in this respect.
3 Limit Your Sun Exposure
It can be difficult to avoid the sun altogether, yet prolonged sun exposure is detrimental to skin health. You don’t need to stay inside all day; simply prepare your skin before going outside in the afternoon by following these measures to protect it.
- Use sunscreen with an SPF value of 30 or higher; anything less may allow the sun to cause sunburn on your skin. Reapply it throughout the day as necessary.
- Wearing a wide-brimmed cap will keep the sun off of your face, neck and shoulders.
- Wear long-sleeved shirts and long jeans during late spring for maximum warmth-retaining ability. Opt for cool textures that swish to avoid overheating.
- Be careful to avoid completely shutting out the sun; your body requires some sunlight exposure in order to produce vitamin D, which is crucial for bone health and other important functions.
