How to Get into Good Face Care Habits

The difference between having good skin and not having good skin can often simply be down to getting into a good daily skin care regime. It’s the small steps that we take every day that get results, and the trick to achieving this is to make it a habit, and as much a part of our routine as brushing our teeth.

At Nakin we also like to make a skincare habit easy by having a simple collection of natural anti-ageing products, the products all pack a punch when it comes to the ingredients and formulas, but are multipurpose, so we do not need to use lots of the same type of product for different skin concerns.

If you are struggling to start and maintain a good skincare routine, then the key really is to make sure you implement it into your routine in the morning and evening. Include it alongside your other daily activities, such as when you brush your teeth. Or if needed then set a twice daily alarm. This might all seem a bit complicated but once you have been following good face care practices for a few weeks, it will then be part of your daily schedule and you will not want to miss it.

How to Get into Good Face Care Habits

Establishing a good skincare habit of cleansing and moisturising is simple when integrated into your morning and evening routine. Start your day by gently cleansing your face with a mild cleanser like ours to remove impurities accumulated overnight. Follow this with treatments if desired, and a suitable moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated and protected throughout the day. Repeat this process in the evening to cleanse away dirt, makeup, and excess oils collected during the day, ensuring your skin stays refreshed. Consistency is key, and by dedicating just a few minutes at the start and end of your day, you can maintain healthy, glowing skin effortlessly.

Additionally, incorporating a exfoliation into you routine can help to keep your skin looking radiant and youthful. Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, while face masks provide intensive hydration and nourishment to the skin. There are various types of exfoliators on the market, and we always recommend a natural option like ours, which is kind to skin.

In addition to daily cleansing, creams and exfoliation, it's important to protect your skin from harmful UV rays by using sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day, even on cloudy days. Sun damage is one of the leading causes of premature ageing, dark spots, and wrinkles, so make sure to incorporate sunscreen into your skincare routine.

Another important step in maintaining healthy and glowing skin is to nourish it from the inside out. Eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can help improve your skin's overall health. Some nutritious foods for skin include leafy greens, berries, avocado, fatty fish, and nuts.

Furthermore, getting enough sleep and managing stress levels are also essential for healthy skin. Lack of sleep and high levels of stress can contribute to various skin issues such as acne breakouts, dullness, and premature ageing. Make sure to get 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night and find ways to manage stress through relaxation techniques or engaging in activities you enjoy.

Regular exercise is another important aspect of maintaining good skin health. Exercise helps to improve blood circulation, which in turn delivers oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, resulting in a healthy glow. It also helps to detoxify the body through sweat, getting rid of toxins that can contribute to skin issues.

In addition to diet, sleep, stress management and exercise, taking care of your skin externally is one of the easiest ways to look after your skin. A full routine can include cleansing, exfoliating, treatments and moisturising. But we recommend working out a routine that fits your skin requirements and lifestyle, as this is the best way to ensure it is achievable and becomes and everyday habit.
