Having tried and researched a myriad skincare hacks, these are to some extent reliable
- Baking soda as scrub
Apparently, baking soda can be good not only in the kitchen but in front of the mirror as well. Make a paste of 3 parts baking soda and one part water. Rinse your face with water and your normal soap then gently rub the paste onto your face.
Rinse it with water once you’ve covered your whole face. This can also work as a face cleanser for sensitive skin.
- Combine salt, sugar, honey and coconut oil into a thick paste. This paste can be used for both the face and the body. Use it once or twice a week to exfoliate your skin. It will prevent clogged pores and acne. The oilier your skin is, the more hard elements (salt and sugar) you can use.
- Marula oil
Marula oil comes from the marula tree which is a tree that is native to South Africa. Its oil is full of fatty acids. It is recommended for soothing dry, dehydrated skin.
The oil absorbs quickly and will leave your skin looking healthy.
- Vitamin A
Dermatologists recommend choosing night creams that contain vitamin A, otherwise called retinol. However, you can enrich your cream with the vitamin yourself. Add a couple of drops of carrot oil to your night cream. This will help you avoid stretch marks, acne, and wrinkles.
Also, carrot oil is helpful against scarring, especially when used on acne scars. But be careful with the oils if you’re pregnant and don’t use products with vitamin A during the daytime. They can affect the skin’s natural sun protection.
- Tea tree oil is not for tea
Many studies show that tea tree oil is great at fighting skin bacteria. It helps to relieve irritation, reduce acne, and calm inflammation. Choose an anti-acne gel containing the oil to treat your skin and soon you’ll see the redness disappear and your skin will look much healthier.
- Take a bath
Taking a bath at least twice a day especially when the weather is hot will help in making the skin healthy. Use organic products that are good for your skin and age type.
- Try cutting down sugar
Researchers show that sugar abuse can provoke wrinkles, fine lines, and dull skin. Try to cut down on processed sugar (e.g. candy, white bread). Try fruit and berries instead. This will both satisfy your sugar craving and provide your skin with healthy antioxidants.
Everyday tricks revealed by dermatologists to make the skin look healthy and beautiful
- Wash your skin daily. Never go to bed with makeup on.
- Moisturize your skin. This will keep your skin glowing and remember that even oily skin needs a light moisturizer. Apply this product directly after a shower
- Use Sunscreen daily. Even on cloudy days, your skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays.
- Apply eye cream at night. Choose on with vitamins A, C, E, and K. this will help you to prevent wrinkles and dark circles.
