Habits form the foundation of our lives. Our routines shape our days and our bodies, from our morning coffee or tea to the side of the bed we sleep on. While the term “habit” often connotes something negative, we can also develop habits that are beneficial to our health and the health of our skin. Here are some habits that can help you maintain beautiful skin, facial health ranging from exercise and diet to product selection.

1)Face washing
Face washing removes dirt, oils, and bacteria that accumulate and cause your pores to appear larger. When you wake up, wash your face to remove dirt and oils, and again before bed to remove makeup and grime from the day. You should also wash your face after working out or sweating.

2)Get more rest.
There is such a thing as “Beauty Sleep.” Every night, our bodies require 7 to 9 hours of restful sleep to restore, rejuvenate, and repair. It’s like going to the fountain of youth every night, because when we sleep, our skin produces new collagen. Experts recommend a consistent sleep schedule and a cool (65°F) dark environment to maintain good sleep hygiene.

3)Use an antioxidant.
Our skin and bodies are harmed by free radicals. Fried foods, alcohol, and pesticides all contribute to them. However, antioxidants, like natural superheroes, can neutralize free radicals. Antioxidant-rich foods include dark chocolate, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and pecans.

4)Use sunscreen.
The sun is the primary cause of skin aging. Excessive sun exposure can cause serious skin damage, including dehydration and the formation of harmful free radicals. Sunscreens protect against the sun’s harmful rays and should be worn when spending extended periods of time in the sun. Wear protective clothing and limit your sun exposure.

5)Consume Water
Drinking water nourishes the skin from within. Dehydrated skin can appear dull, itchy, and dry, and it can accentuate lines. It can also lighten dark circles under your eyes and around your nose. Both alcohol and coffee dehydrate the skin. Drinking plenty of water keeps your skin hydrated and gives it a healthy glow. Eating fruits and vegetables, exercising, and getting enough sleep can all help keep skin hydrated.

When it comes to facial health, it’s often best to keep things simple, especially if you have allergies or a very sensitive complexion. Unlike water-based or preservative-containing lotions and creams, pure oils have a natural base, making them excellent dry-skin remedies.
The good news is that you don’t have to see a dermatologist to treat your dry skin. Instead, consider incorporating a natural remedy into your home skin-care routine. In fact, you may already have the ingredients for these dry-skin remedies in your kitchen.

There are numerous ways to reap the moisturizing benefits of oils, either on their own or in combination with other ingredients to create a DIY nourishing mask or exfoliating rub. Castor oil, lavender oil, and avocado oil, according to Poblete-Lopez, may be good natural remedies for dry skin, as long as you do not have acne-prone skin.
Another oil you may have in your kitchen cabinet is coconut oil, which may be a good choice for those who are not prone to acne. According to one randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial, people with atopic dermatitis — a type of eczema and an allergic skin condition characterized by dryness and itching — saw excellent results when they used virgin coconut oil on their skin.
Aloe vera, a natural healer, can also be infused in oils and used as a natural moisturizer. According to previous research, aloe vera gel contains mucopolysaccharides, which help lock moisture into the skin, making this another naturally moisturizing skin-care ingredient worth trying.

3 Proven Ways to Avoid a Dry-Skin Relapse and improve your facial health:
1)Make moisturizing a daily part of your skin-care routine. As soon as you get out of the shower, apply a rich, creamy product to your entire body.
2)Create new skin-friendly bathing habits. According to the AAD, you should also avoid hot showers and limit baths to 10 minutes. Regular bar soap may contain ingredients that are harsh on your skin; instead, use a gentle cleanser or liquid body wash.
3)Dress in weather-appropriate attire. This extends beyond wearing sunscreen in the summer to help protect against sunburns and skin cancer. “Remember to put on your gloves before venturing out into the cold winter air to avoid dryness and chapping.”
