Fuel your glow with these must-do skin care rituals

Taking care of your skin is very important, especially when it is winter and you lose your glow and dryness takes over your beautiful features. More than a ritual, skin care is like a discipline you have to commit to for getting favourable results. It has a correct order, the correct products, and most importantly, the correct routine. 

Follow these steps daily for a healthy glow. 

Daily sunscreen ritual

Make applying sunscreen a non-negotiable part of your daily routine, even on cloudy days. UV rays can cause premature ageing and skin damage, so incorporating this simple step can go a long way in preserving your skin's health throughout the year. Look for sunscreens with advanced ingredients like vitamin C, known for its antioxidant properties that combat free radicals, and niacinamide, which helps even out skin tone and enhances the skin's barrier function. 

Stay hydrated

Proper hydration isn't just about skincare products – it starts from within. Resolve to drink an adequate amount of water daily. Hydrated skin is more resilient, plump, and less prone to issues. 

Consistent routine

Commit to a consistent skincare routine that includes cleansing, moisturizing, and treating your skin. Avoid skipping steps, even on those hectic days. A reliable routine forms the foundation for healthy and beautiful skin

Regular exfoliation

Incorporate regular exfoliation into your skincare routine to slough off dead skin cells and encourage cell turnover. This will leave your skin looking fresh, vibrant, and more receptive to the benefits of your skincare products. Choose exfoliants with ingredients like glycolic acid for effective chemical exfoliation. 

Mindful makeup removal

No matter how tired you are, make it a rule to remove your makeup before bed. Sleeping with makeup on can clog pores and lead to breakouts. Use a gentle makeup remover for cleaning your makeup.

Get enough beauty sleep

Quality sleep is essential for skin repair and regeneration. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night to wake up with refreshed and revitalized skin. Your bedtime routine directly impacts the health and appearance of your skin.
