It is very important to have your clear skin for the big day, so here are 7 skin tips:
1. Avoid too much sun
Too much sunshine and overexposing your skin to UV-rays cause the skin to appear tough and older than it actually is, it may even result in more serious skin conditions.
2. Going to bed with clean skin
Pollution, oil and dust accumulate on our skin’s surface throughout the day… leaving skin pores blocked. If you wear makeup, this can cause even more blockages. Cleaning your skin properly to avoid blocked skin pores, blemishes, blackheads and pimples.
3. Avoid using old makeup
In general, mascara shouldn’t be kept longer than 3 months while 2 years for eye pencils, eye shadows, lipsticks, 1 year for foundations and concealers. Items like sponges and bottles with liquid makeup are extremely susceptible to bacterial growth. Therefore it is always wise to avoid using old and unused makeup.
4. Avoid using skin care products that are not natural
Some of the chemicals in skincare products, besides being potentially harmful, may cause the skin to become very dry, red and susceptible to premature aging.
To ensure that your skin stays in good shape, try using natural skincare products that do not contain any harsh chemicals or parabens.
5. Avoid excessive moisturizing
Over moisturizing should be avoided by people with dry skin. This means, even if you have excessively dry skin, you should not resort to heavy moisturizing products as this could leave the skin feeling heavy, greasy and congested.
6. Avoid using soap for skin cleansing
Petroleum based soaps are alkaline and thus help in removing dirt and oil effectively from your skin. However, they also remove the protective natural ‘shield’ of sebum from your skin’s surface. Try to use the facial cleansing products that restore a natural pH of 5.5 to your skin.
7. Avoids too much rubbing while taking care of the skin
Excessive rubbing can cause redness and may leave the capillaries permanently dilated, giving your skin a blotchy appearance. Instead, use gentle pressure in short brief movements when cleansing or moisturizing for smooth and clear skin.
