How do famous actresses stay looking so gorgeous as they age? They take especially good care of their skin, which is something YOU can replicate from your own home! Here are some time-tested ideas we’ve gathered to help you with your skin care regimen so you can age gracefully too.
For clear skin, do more laundry — specifically, wash your bed linens. The oils and dirt from your skin are transferred to your pillow case while you sleep, so regularly washing your bed linens, especially your pillow case, prevents you from putting dirt and oil back on your skin every time you go to bed. Wash your pillow case every other day and your bed sheets at least once a week.
Keep your makeup fresh! Throw away out-of-date makeup to keep your skin blemish-free! Just as food expires, so does your makeup. Part of your skin care regimen should be to keep track of when your makeup was first opened. A good rule of thumb is to replace an open container within six months, or less, if you can detect an odor!
While it may sound strange, cleansing your skin with oil can actually help to clear blackheads and improve your skin’s condition. Jojoba, castor and olive oils are used most often for cleansing. Over time, your skin will actually produce less oil on its own, so this method works even if you have naturally oily skin.
Albumin is a common ingredient in many cosmetics, as it cleans, refines and tightens skin. Albumin is found in the yolk of an egg! You can make your own lifting mask at home by using one teaspoon of sugar and two egg yolks. Use a whisk and mix the egg yolks until it is firm. Add sugar and mix well. Put it on your face for 20 to 30 minutes and wash off with a warm wash cloth. Enjoy the instant, at-home, face lift albumin will give you!
Be sure to cleanse your face two times daily - morning and evening. Younger people with oily skin will need to do a complete cleansing routine at both times of day. Older people may get by with a splash of cold water in the morning and a full cleansing and moisturizing routine at night.
Did you know that taking extremely hot showers was bad for your skin? Hot water can break the lipid barrier of the skin and cause it to dry. You should shower with lukewarm water or stay under the water for a shorter amount of time. Make sure you dry your skin when you get out of the shower.
If you have sensitive skin, be sure to set aside a good chunk of time for shaving. Don’t rush! You are sure to scrape your skin, and perhaps even cut yourself, if you hurry to shave. Take your time and shave gently and carefully. Go over each area only one time. Double-shaving causes razor burn and rash.
If you keep up with your skin care regimen daily, ensuring your skin gets all the nutrients and treatments that it needs to stay soft, supple, and young looking, then you will have no problems in the coming years or even decades. You’ll always look your absolute best at any age!
