If you are struggling with skincare issues like pimples, acne, and the likes, you may have tried a variety of skincare products and all sorts of advice with no luck. It can be tricky finding the right skincare routine and products for your skin. I have been there and I still remember trying so many products in the search for the right ones to help curb my hyperpigmentation after pregnancy. It was a struggle and I spent quite a bit of various products that promised to clear my skin, but most of them didn’t do much.

There’s no secret to having a clear skin. Different skincare products and routines work differently for everyone, and there’s no guarantee what works great on this dry skin would also work great on another. Having said that, there are some general skincare tips that work great on pretty much everyone, and if they don’t work, they usually do no harm. Here are some of the skincare tips –

Avoid popping pimples

Popping pimples increases the risk of more pimples appearing, so no matter how tempting, avoid popping pimples, One way to keep your fingers off your pimples is to get the Dots for Spots Acne Patches. I have a pack myself and they are so handy to have around. I like the fact that they are very effective and discreet enough to wear during the day.

Use Gentle Skincare Products

Another great skincare tip is to use gentle skincare products every time. I generally stay away from skincare products that contain any harsh ingredients. Gentle skincare products are better for all skin types, especially sensitive skin. It is always good to test on a small area of the skin for any reaction when you use a new product for the first time.

Keep Makeup Brushes Clean

If you apply makeup regularly, it is important to ensure the makeup brushes are cleaned frequently. Keeping the makeup brushes clean would ensure your makeup is applied correctly, increases the longevity of the makeup brushes, and most importantly, helps the skin stay clean and clear.

Wash and Moisturise Twice a Day

It is important to wash face with a gentle face wash twice a day and moisturise immediately after every wash. That way your skin stays clean, clear and hydrated. The type of cleanser/face wash and moisturiser you choose should depend on your skin type, but overall, the more the skincare product the better.

Sunscreen is Important

Wearing sunscreen protects the skin from harmful sun rays, so applying sun protection at least 30 minutes before you step outside is very important.
