Ah, the word “free” – it’s like an enchanting beckoning, isn’t it? It’s like a ray of hope in a
world where everything is a budget-wrecker. Especially when it comes to skincare, people
tend to become skeptical of the fact that skincare has to cost a bomb, even though it is
just a facade. After all, we’ve been made to believe that taking care of our skin means
spending big bucks for the latest products we see on social media. But fear not, my fellow
skincare enthusiasts! There are exceptional ways to take care of your skin without
spending a dime. So let’s deep dive in and uncover the hidden gems of free skincare.
- Wash your hands before starting your skincare
Our hands are a breeding ground for bacteria, picking up germs and grime from everyday
objects. This can be a real problem for skincare, as your face is a cozy home for bacteria.
To prevent acne, breakouts and other skin infections, it is absolutely vital to wash your
hands before starting your skincare routine. It sounds basic, but many of us tend to
overlook this crucial step. By just taking a few extra seconds to wash your hands, you can
prevent the transfer of bacteria to your pretty-pretty face. So let’s make a pact, fellow
skincare enthusiasts – we’ll wash our hands before we wash our faces. Deal?
- Keep your skincare products fresh and clean
You need to start storing your skincare products in a cool, dry location away from sunlight,
wash your hands before using them, and avoid sharing your skincare products with others,
even your family members. Don’t let dirt settle on your products, as it can contaminate
them and transfer to your skin. And if you use tools like brushes or sponges, keep them clean to prevent bacteria buildup. Remember, a little cleanliness goes a long way in keeping your skin looking fab! - Wash Your Pillowcase Often
Did you know that your pillow could be a breeding ground for dirt, dust mites, bed bugs,
and debris that can wreak havoc on your skin? Yikes! But don’t worry, there’s a pretty
simple solution to this gross problem. Regularly changing your pillowcase can help fight
acne and improve your skincare routine. Many experts recommend washing your
pillowcase every two days is good enough to remove oils, bodily excrement, dirt, and
makeup residue that can clog your pores and irritate your skin. So, keep your skin looking
flawless by giving your pillowcase a regular wash. Your skin will thank you for it!
- Cut down on stress and level up your sleep
Stress and sleep can do a lot more damage to your skin than we can ever know. Trust me if
your sleep schedule is a mess and your stress levels are everywhere, your skin is going to
be seriously ticked off. Lack of sleep produces more cortisol which is our not so favorite
hormone which leads to inflammation and causes a variety of skin issues like acne,
psoriasis and eczema. Another culprit is stress, stress can disrupt our sleep patterns, which
can further exacerbate skin issues such as dark circles, puffiness, and dullness. Therefore,
it’s high time to start prioritizing stress-reduction and quality sleep for more million dollar
looking skin. - Stay hydrated
I know, I know, this is a million year old tip, but do we ever take it seriously? Hydration is
like the secret sauce of skin care. Our skin is like a thirsty plant – it needs water to thrive.
When we don’t drink enough water, our skin can become dry, flaky, and dull. And let’s not
forget about the dreaded fine lines and wrinkles that can appear when our skin is
dehydrated. It’s like our skin is saying, “Hey, give me some water or I’m going to start
showing my age!” So let’s give our skin the secret sauce it needs to thrive.
