The Importance of Sunscreen Every Day

Many people skip sunscreen on cloudy or cold days, but UV rays are present year-round and contribute to 80% of visible skin aging. Applying sunscreen daily protects your skin from damage, reduces the risk of hyperpigmentation, and keeps your complexion even.

Pro Tip

When choosing a sunscreen, go for one with broad-spectrum protection (SPF 30 or higher) that suits your skin type. For added convenience, consider a tinted sunscreen to replace your foundation on lighter makeup days.

Hydration: The Foundation of Healthy Skin

Keeping your skin hydrated is essential for maintaining its elasticity and glow. Dehydrated skin can appear dull and even lead to premature fine lines. Start with the basics: drink plenty of water throughout the day, eat hydrating fruits like watermelon and cucumber, and use a quality moisturizer. Hydration doesn’t just come from within—your skincare products matter, too.

Pro Tip

Use a hyaluronic acid serum before moisturizing to lock in hydration.

Double Cleansing: The Secret to Clear Pores

Ever feel like your skin doesn’t truly feel clean even after washing it? That’s where double cleansing comes in. Start with an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum. Then follow up with a water-based cleanser to clean deep into your pores. This method ensures every trace of dirt is removed, leaving your skin prepped for the rest of your routine.

Pro Tip

Double cleansing is especially effective at night, after exposure to pollution and makeup.

Exfoliation: Revive Your Skin’s Glow

Exfoliating removes dead skin cells that can make your complexion look dull. Incorporate exfoliation into your routine 1–2 times a week to reveal smoother, brighter skin. If you have sensitive skin, opt for a chemical exfoliant with AHAs (like glycolic acid) or BHAs (like salicylic acid) instead of a physical scrub.

Pro Tip

Follow up with a hydrating serum or moisturizer after exfoliating to maximize the glow.
