We all admit it, beauty is something we all want. However, our daily lifestyle and habits might put our skin at risk. The habits that we might need to be aware of includes:
Skip washing face before bed
It is understandable that you want to skip washing your face before bed because you are tired and you want to have more sleep. But you will pay the price in the long run by ruining your skin. The dirt, oil, and pollution that accumulates on your skin will lead to both inflammation and breakouts. [1]So, it is important to keep your skin clean by washing it before going to bed. You may use a gentle BEYUL HYDRATING FOAM CLEANSER, followed with BEYUL MOISTURIZING LOTION and BEYUL MOISTURIZING CREAM.
Smoking
Smoking is known to harm your body, but did you know that it will also harm your skin as well? Nicotine from tobacco will reduce the blood flow to your skin, reducing the oxygen and nutrients sent to your skin. Besides, the chemicals in the tobacco will damage the collagen and elastin proteins that maintain your firm skin. [2]So, stop smoking for a better skin.
Sugar
Other than smoking, high sugar intake can also put your skin at a higher risk. Diets high in sugar increase the glycation progress on your skin, and speeds up the skin aging process[3].
Glycation
will put your skin in danger by damaging the collagen in your skin, causing collagen loss. Maintaining a healthy diet with low sugar can lower the risk of skin glycation. Or you may try to replace it with fruits and vegetables, satisfying your craving for sweetness while giving you antioxidants.
Not Using Sunscreen
Sunshine not only gives you warmth on your skin, but also the ultraviolet rays (UV rays). These UV rays increase the risk of premature aging and skin cancer. [4]Most of us think that we can avoid damage from sunlight during cloudy weather but UV rays might still be as strong as during a clear day. Thus, it is important to protect yourself from UV rays, and make sure to use sunscreen when needed. Certain botanical nutrients like Rosemary and Grapefruit extract
are also proven to provide protection against UV rays.
Skin getting flaky, but ignored
Scales and flakiness of your skin could be the first sign of dryness, but it is usually ignored by us. Sometimes we even try to scrub away the scaly skin, which damages your skin even further. [5]If we face this kind of situation, it would be good to check your skin hydration status. Using a deep care moisturizer cream could improve your skin hydration status and maintain a healthy skin condition. Besides, incorporating phytoceramide into the diet can help retain skin moisture and reduce skin dryness.
Healthy skin can be maintained by making healthy changes, and giving your skin good protection by incorporating proper BEYUL skincare regimens and replenishing collagen loss with MAQNIFIQ. Giving the right nutrients to the skin can protect your skin from damage by chemicals, UV rays, dryness and reduce the signs of skin aging.
