Whether you’re new to skincare or a seasoned pro, there are always new tips and tricks to learn when it comes to keeping your skin looking its best. We all know that the health of our skin reflects the overall health of our bodies, so it’s important to take great care of it if we want to stay looking young and healthy over time. As the old saying goes, Beauty is only skin deep, but we still want to keep that pretty layer healthy with these 6 top tips for maintaining healthy skin
1. Put SPF on even if you are indoors
Your body produces a lot of vitamin D when exposed to UV rays. While that is good if you’re outside, it also means your skin isn’t protected against UVA or UVB. Having unprotected sun exposure even indoors can have long-term harmful effects. Put on sunscreen before going out, even if you are just running to buy groceries around the corner.
2. Eat Healthy
A balanced diet with a wide variety of foods is key to maintaining a glowy, hydrated complexion. Make sure you’re eating a mix of complex carbs, lean proteins, and plenty of fruits and veggies every day. You may also want to consider investing in professional-grade skincare products to help your skin fight free radicals, which are especially effective when paired with antioxidants from wholesome food sources.
3. Sleep Well
Sleep plays a vital role in keeping your body and mind in good health. The good news is that getting enough shut-eye is easier than you might think. First, get into a regular sleep schedule. Keep it simple by going to bed and waking up at similar times each day. Regularity will help you fall asleep quickly and sleep soundly throughout the night.
4. Moisturize Regularly
The simplest and most effective way to keep your skin feeling its best is to moisturize it regularly. The outermost layer of your skin, known as your stratum corneum, helps protect you from harmful substances in both the environment and inside your body by trapping water molecules. The more hydrated it is, though, the better it can do its job!
If there’s one thing you should do for clear and smooth-looking skin, it’s to apply a good moisturizer every day.

5. Exfoliate Once a Week
In addition to your daily skincare routine, exfoliating once a week can help remove dead skin cells and clean out your pores. Using a facial scrub can also help you get rid of dry and rough patches, such as flaky areas around your nose or lips. Make sure that you always use an exfoliator with a low percentage of grainy particles—you don’t want to irritate your skin or leave it feeling stripped; just gently buff away.
Our exfoliating cream is perfect to use once a week. The ingredients include:
Avocado: Anti-wrinkle, softening and healing
Ginseng: Anti-wrinkle, revitalizing and toning
Tea Tree: Antimicrobial, antiseptic and healing
Chamomile: Softening, healing, and toning

6. Visit a Skincare clinic that offers the correct treatments
As a general rule, your skincare routine should include treatments from at least three categories: exfoliation, cleansing, and moisturizing. Consult with a professional and ask about their recommended skincare plan.
