The New Year is edging closer day by day. This is a great time to review your skincare and health regimens. Especially through the winter, your skin needs you! Here are 5 tips to help you kickstart 2022 with healthy, glowing skin. 
 

• Drink a glass of lemon water - Often, we have skin issues when the skin’s pH. balance is off track. This can make our skin feel oily, dry, or dull. Ideally, the skin’s pH level should be around 5.5. Our skins pH level is heavily influenced by the foods we consume. Lemon is a great detoxifier. Drinking a cup of freshly squeezed hot lemon in the morning and evening can help your body flush out toxins helping your skin maintain a healthy pH level. 

• Cleanse - Cleanse your skin daily and always before bedtime. Sleeping with make-up on is a common mistake many make. Cleansing your skin before bedtime helps remove dirt and unclog your pores. Clogged pores may result in breakouts and skin imbalances. While you sleep, your skin repairs itself. This process produces oils and toxins. So, make sure to cleanse your face in the morning to detoxify your skin before the start of your day. 

• Moisturize - As you cleanse, so should you moisturize. A good skin care regimen always includes an efficient moisturizer. Moisturizing your skin helps maintain skin softness; reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and generally, improves the health of your skin. Make sure to find a moisturizer that not only has hydrating ingredients (add water) but also has moisturizing ingredients that binds water molecules to prevent water loss, so your skin stays hydrated for a longer period of time. 

• Skin massage - Give your skin some TLC! Take some time to gently massage your skin to increase blood and oxygen flow to your skin. This will increase collagen production to reduce the looking of lines and wrinkles; reduce puffiness; and give your skin a healthy glow. 

• Exfoliate - Regular exfoliation is one of the steps people skip the most yet one of the most important steps in any skin care regimen. As we get older our body’s ability to naturally shed the dead skin cells reduce drastically. So, if you are tired of the dull looking skin and wondering why some of your skincare products aren’t giving you the results they claim, start exfoliating your skin. Exfoliation not only reveals the fresh glowing skin, but also will help your skincare products like anti-aging serums absorb into the deeper layers of the skin for maximum results. 

The skincare market is loaded with many different products; sometimes it can seem a bit overwhelming to decide what’s best for you. Less is more when it comes to skincare. Whether you are just beginning to invest in a skincare regimen or have tried many products in the market, we believe simplicity is the way to go in 2022.
