What Are The Best Daily Beauty Tips?

When you adhere to a comprehensive daily beauty routine, your face, skin, and hair become healthier, youthful, and attractive. This also leads to greater confidence and more stable mental health.

Most people, however, have a limited amount of time they can devote to daily beauty rituals due to other life obligations. Not to mention that people have different types of skin and hair which means there is no one-size-fits-all routine for everyone.

Here we will go through a variety of highly recommended daily beauty tips that you can choose to adopt depending on your situation, budget, and time allowance.

Use sunscreen

Given the amount of sun exposure Aussies experience, this should be a top consideration, no matter your type of skin. The impact may also extend to your eyesight and immune system. Many health problems can develop when you are exposed to UV radiation. This includes a higher risk for skin cancer and premature ageing of the skin.

Even if you think you will be outdoors briefly, always slather on a healthy amount of sunscreen, every day. The earlier in life you form the habit of regularly putting on sunscreen, the more your skin will thank you for the effort. Remember to also apply sunscreen to whatever other body parts you leave exposed when outdoors. This includes the lips, neck, ears, and décolletage.

Have a morning and night-time routine

You need to establish separate routines for the day and night based on what goals you need to achieve. During the day, your skin will be exposed to all kinds of harshness including UV rays and polluted air. You need a routine that will help protect and keep your skin hydrated.

At night, you will want your skin to recover and remain hydrated. Focus on products and a routine that aids your skin to repair and relax ahead of the busy day ahead. Consider incorporating the use of masks and facial massages into your nighttime routine to help make your skin look and feel more refreshed.

Keep in mind that beauty routines should be tailored to the individual. There are different types of skin and hair, so you need a routine that is customised to meet personal needs. How someone with normal skin takes care of their skin is different from what an acne-prone person should be doing.

If you are having difficulty figuring out what to do, consult a dermatologist or aesthetician to develop a suitable routine for your skin type and whatever conditions you may be dealing with.

Also, be sure to always inspect your body once you get out of the shower or bath. Take note of any unusual changes to moles or new growths on your skin that could indicate melanoma. When you just get out of the shower, your skin is typically softer and refreshed, making for a good opportunity to moisturise your entire body.

Daily skincare

No matter the type of skin you have, it is important to have a daily skincare routine. There are undoubtedly many skin care routines and trends in the market. No matter the range that you feel is best suited for your skin, ensure that it includes the basics of:

• cleanser
• moisturiser
• sunscreen

You should also ensure that you drink plenty of water throughout the day to aid in hydration and keep to a balanced diet that will deliver the nutrients your skin cells need to remain healthy.

If you have sensitive skin, you will often find that less is more. Doing too much or using too many products may cause irritation and other skin problems.

Makeup removal

It is crucial to always take off all your makeup at the end of the day, or even sooner whenever you get home. Cleansing balms are the best way to go as they help to prevent your pores from becoming clogged. Micellar water or cleansing oils can be good alternatives.

Apply your cleanser gently and after massaging it into your skin in a circular motion, let it remain on your face for a few minutes and break down the makeup before rinsing. Double cleansing is a good way to ensure you have fully removed all the makeup and reduce the problem of clogged pores.

Afterwards, pat dry your skin with a clean washcloth before moving on to the rest of your night-time skincare routine. Remember that moisturising your skin will help to further cleanse the skin and reduce the risk of pimples.

Ensure that you also regularly and deeply clean your makeup brushes. Allowing dirt and bacteria to build up may encourage infections and breakouts.

Haircare

It is not advisable to be as rigorous with your hair as you would be with your skin. Unlike skin that may need to be cleansed several times a day, you should not shampoo your hair daily. This can strip the hair and scalp of natural protective oils and proteins, leading to dryness and breakage.

Washing of hair should be done no more than once or twice a week. Depending on hair type, you can use dry shampoo on the days in between to help control oiliness.

Again, hair type will greatly matter. Use hair products suited to your hair type, keeping in mind that the straighter your hair is, the stronger it is and thus more able to deal with frequent manipulation. Those with curlier or kinky hair will need products that help moisturise and prevent frizzing which can complicate combing and styling.

Discuss with your stylist or hairdresser what habits you can adopt to ensure your hair remains healthy and easy to manage.
