Get clear & flawless skin without make-up

[Article Source: Healthline.]

Your skin is the largest organ that you have, so you want to take care of it. Glowing skin is typically seen as a sign of health and vitality. Dull or dry skin, on the other hand, can make you feel less than your best.

Here are 10 product and lifestyle changes that you can implement as part of your beauty and skincare routine. The best part? You probably already have everything you need in your pantry, kitchen, or medicine cabinet.

1. Soothe skin with virgin coconut oil

Coconut oil has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and healing. But using coconut oil on your face may not work for every skin type. Do not use if you have allergies to coconut.

2. Avoid makeup

Soothe your skin barrier to promote dewy-looking skin that’s healthy below the surface layer shows that coconut oil is a good moisturiser. Try massaging a small amount of coconut oil onto your face and let it soak in for a few minutes before washing off with your normal cleanser.

2. Use aloe vera to keep skin strong and healthy

Aloe vera has healing properties and may stimulate new cell growth. It also soothes and moisturises without clogging pores. Using aloe vera after you’ve washed your face each day may give your skin that healthy glow.

It’s possible to be allergic to aloe vera. Test it first by rubbing a small amount on your forearm and if there’s no reaction in

3. Moisturise properly after washing your face

Moisturise your skin with products that lock in moisture, promote healing, and have antioxidant properties to encourage a glowing, youthful look. Don’t exfoliate your skin when it feels dry, and don’t skip moisturizer just because your face feels oily. Apply moisturizer to your skin when it’s still wet from a shower or from rinsing your face. This will lock in extra moisture rather than working on a surface level to make your face feel smooth.

4. Wear sunscreen daily

Wearing sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or above can prevent skin cancer. Keeping your skin shielded from harmful UV rays also guards against photo-aging, which is the process of skin aging.

Make sure to apply a product with sunscreen every morning, even on days when it’s raining or the sky is overcast. 5. Find a cleansing routine that works You don’t want to rob your skin of moisture by washing it too often, and you don’t want to encourage your pores to produce too much extra oil to compensate for too much washing. Washing your face after you’ve worked up a sweat, first thing in the morning, and right before bed is typically the sweet spot for healthy skin.

6. Avoid smoke and secondhand smoke

When you expose your skin to cigarette smoke, you’re coating your face with all sorts of chemical toxins. This ups the oxidative stress in your skin cells, leading to prematurely aged skin.

7. Drink more water

Your skin is made up of cells that need water to function well. The connection to drinking water and having healthy skin is still ongoing, but at least one 2015 study concluded there’s a strong link between drinking more water and having healthier skin. Aim for at least eight glasses of water per day.

8. Eat to nourish your skin

Eating a diet that’s rich in fruits and vegetables will boost the vitamins and antioxidants in your body. According to the Mayo Clinic, eating healthy fats, like fish oils, and staying away from processed foods with lots of preservatives may have a direct connection to healthier looking skin.
