Protect you skin from the sun, especially during late morning to late afternoon. Apply a SPF of 15 or higher under your makeup or face cream.
Give yourself enough sleep. Sleep rejuvenates the body and the skin. Lack of sleep promotes dark circles, puffy eyes and bags under the eyes.
Stresses, emotional and environmental are harmful to the skin.
Don’t smoke if at all possible. The chemical in cigarettes reduces circulation and delivers poisons to the body and skin.
Wash your face every morning and evening. Clean skin generates healthy skin cells and washing remove the dead skin cells and cleans the pores.
All parts of the body need attention. Elbows, heels, neck, etc., need moisturizing too.
Keep your hands off your face. We are all tempted to pick that pimple; however doing so may cause scarring. Use a topical cream for blemishes or a home remedy.
Do not borrow other people’s makeup and keep you makeup clean. The average shelf of makeup is 6 - 12 months. Replace sponges in your compact when dirty. Avoid costly products so that when you do discard the product you will not feel so bad.
Exercise; increases circulation to the body, including the skin, and reduces stress. Not to mention weight loss, firming up, etc.
Beware of over doing your skin care. Cosmetic industries would have you believe that every inch of your body needs some sort of lotion or cream. Read my article Are You Sabotaging Your Skin Care Regime on my blog
