9 Effective Ways Of Skin Care Routine For Dry And Oily Skin

Updated On October 24th, 2020

Beauty is in the skin! Take care of it, oil it, clean it, scrub it, perfume it, and put on your best clothes, even if there is no special occasion, and you’ll feel like a queen. If society is hard on you, fight back by pampering your skin. Skin is political. Otherwise, why would the imams order us to hide it? Fatema Mernissi

Healthy skin is a reflection of overall wellness. Dr. Murad

Glowing Skin is a result of proper skincare. It means you can wear less makeup and let skin shine through. Michel Coulombe

Proper sin care is very essential because you may find skin issues later if you are ignoring your skin health today. Here I am sharing why skin care is important.

Importance Of Skin Care

1. Skin confidence is important, it boosts your self-image & self-esteem. Your physical appearance is affected by your unhealthy skin so you have to remain vigilant about your skin care routine.

2. Healthy skin care habits save a lot of money in the long run. If you give some time to your skin, it will help you avoid a plastic surgeon or dermatologist.

3. Glowing and beautiful skin needs time. If you want to look young after 30 years from now, you have to follow a healthy daily skin care routine.

4. Everybody’s skin is different, so it might be possible that another person’s skin needs less attention rather than you or vice versa. Don’t give yourself a wrong chance and follow the negative daily skin care routine.

5. Prevention is better than cure. Fixing skin issues in the future is more complicated, so start giving some time to your skin by your healthy habits or healthy diet.

Skin Care Advice For Busy & Working Women

1. I can understand working women don’t have time to follow the strict daily skin care routine but you can still include a healthy diet in your daily meal. And remember to avoid too much sugar, alcohol, smoking, and junk food.

2. Remove makeup & wash your face two times a day with cold water. There is no need to give extra time to clean your face daily, it is a few seconds process. You need to make this habit only.

3. Moisturize your skin with aloe-vera before going to bed. Aloe-vera can do wonders to your skin if you are applying it overnight. Try yourself and see the magic.

4. UV rays are very harmful to your skin. To protect your skin from the sun, you should apply sunscreen daily 30 minutes before moving out.  Remember to reapply sunscreen after 2-3 hours throughout the day.

5. Pollution affects your skin more than housewives. So you must exfoliate your skin once or twice a week for removing dead skin cells, dirt & bacteria.

6. At last, adopt the natural skin care routine at least on your weekends or whenever you have time if not daily. Taking a healthy diet and following the perfect skin care routine work together for healthy skin so you must not ignore the skin care routine completely.

7. You can easily follow my skin care tips given below in your daily life despite your busy schedule. I chose to write most of the tips according to working women.

Note: You can break the above rule in the special condition like if you have a skin infection, wear makeup, doctor suggestion, use heavy sunscreen, work up a sweat.
