Steps to keep your Skin Healthy and Glowing

Great skin is not just a matter of DNA - your eating habits and lifestyle can significantly impact your skin quality. Additionally, people with dry skin have to work even harder to maintain adequate skin hydration, making a good skincare routine and a healthy diet even more important.

Most people are unaware of the reasoning behind each step in a good skincare routine. For example, a daytime skincare routine should focus on hydration and protection, whereas a nightly routine emphasizes hydration, repair, and nourishment.

So, if you want great skin or are looking to improve your dull and aging skin, you are in the right place! This guide will focus on a great morning skincare routine you should follow to hydrate and protect your skin.

Morning skincare routine for dry skin

Today, our skin is exposed to various environmental conditions, pollutants, UV rays, and dust that contribute to skin damage. That is why it is crucial to follow a healthy morning skincare routine and prepare your skin to combat the damage. So, here are a few steps you should follow every morning before stepping out of your house:

Cleanse your face: Even though you may always wash your face before bed, it is still necessary to begin each day by washing your face with mild, gentle, and hydrating facial cleanser as bacteria can accumulate throughout the night.

Apply serum: Since your skin is more exposed than other body parts, it needs more protection from environmental factors, pollution, and dust. After washing your face, applying a hyaluronic acid serum containing antioxidants can prevent skin damage caused by harmful free radicals.

Moisturize your face: Moisturizing your skin is the most crucial step of your morning skincare routine, especially if you have dry skin. It is advisable to apply moisturizing cream for dry skin immediately (within 3 minutes) after washing your face. When you apply moisturizer on damp skin, it can most efficiently lock in moisture. Doing this helps keep your skin hydrated throughout the day. However, not all moisturizers are ideal for all skin types. Choose a moisturizer specifically designed for dry skin containing cocoa butter, kokum butter, and/or vitamin E, etc.

Sun Protection: Once you have adequately moisturized your skin, it is time to add a layer of sunscreen to protect it from the sun’s harmful UV rays. You should apply a generous amount of natural sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 to prevent sun damage. In addition, try to avoid sun exposure as much as possible and cover yourself properly before going out of your house.

The bottom line

Now that you know the essential steps to follow in the morning to achieve healthy, glowing skin, we hope you notice the difference a good morning routine will make. Also, don’t forget to remove the dirt and makeup, cleanse your face, and apply a night serum before going to bed.
