Pros’ personal skin care tips to make everyday a good skin day
1. Use Sunscreen
One of the best skin care tip for maintaining youthful skin is to apply enough protective sunscreen layers to ensure full coverage and protection.
2. Eat a Skin-Saving Breakfast
The first meal of the day you may choose to include almonds. “They contain essential fatty acids, which help put the brakes on inflammation that accelerates fine lines, sagging, and blotchiness.” Not feeling like a nut? Salmon, tuna, and halibut are good lunch/dinner sources.
3. Take Time, Mask & Relax!
If anyone has stress, it’s doctors. High levels of tension can spike hormone production that leads to breakouts or aggravates conditions like psoriasis. Controlling stress keeps your skin calm—but that’s easier said than done. Taking a 10-minute time-out to apply a face mask and relax on her bed works for magic.
4. Protect with Powder
Another important skin care tip is to remember that sunscreen stops working in less than 3 hours, so reapplication is key. For easy touch-ups, use powder sunscreen, It’s light, so skincare stays intact.
