10 things to do – for your skin


  1. Get your makeup off every night. No excuses. Learn to clean your makeup away properly – just quickly rubbing your face with cleanser and splashing it away with water isn't going to get it all off.
  2. Wash your makeup tools regularly. Don’t forget your powder puff either. I wash my foundation brush every time before using it. In this way it’s always clean and a bit moist so that it will not waste any product.
  3. Change up your pillow cases as often as you can. Once a week is good. If you have very oily skin and hair (and if you use a lot of hair products) you may want to do it even twice a week.
  4. Drink a lot of water. Eat healthy. Don’t smoke or drink alcohol. Don’t eat junk food. Sugar is one of the worst things you can do for your body and skin. Fruits, vegetables and good oils are amazing for your skin.
  5. Use as gentle products as you can. Using harsh products for minor acne may cause you more problems in a long run than they will solve momentarily. Go as natural as you can.
  6. Protect your face from the sun. You will thank yourself doing that in 10 years. Best thing to do is to hide your face by using a hat and big sunglasses. Don’t ever let your face burn. Burning your face just once will leave permanent damage on your skin.
  7. Use sunglasses (and eyeglasses if you need to).
  8. Don’t squeeze your pimples. Touch your face always with clean hands and do it as little as you can.
  9. Take some days off from the makeup. Weekends are good for that.
  10. Exercising outdoors, without makeup on, is the best (and free!) treatment you can do for your skin. Go to the woods – they are full of oxygen and trees will protect you from the sun.
