Simple things for better skin🧖🏾‍♀️

Most of the time everyone concentrates on what happens inside the bathroom or in front of the mirror i.e your skin care routine. But no one ever really realizes that there are so many things you are doing outside of the bathroom that prevent that ‘skin care routine’ from working well. So here are a few!

YOUR PILLOWS: when you are ready to go to bed you obviously lie on your pillow, no matter how you sleep your face somehow comes in contact with you pillow. So imagine this, you’ve done your whole skin care routine (cleansing, toning, masking, moisturizing, everything) and you come to your bed and sleep on a dirty pillow that you haven’t changed in 2 WEEKS! You might as well just throw the products in the dustbin. Your pillow doesn’t have to be dirty for it to change colour so change your pillows regularly. Every 3-6 days should be fine.

HANDSSS: if someone comes up to you and attempts to touch your face please tell them to stop (NICELY) because you don’t know where their hands have been. Plus, they may just be hindering the works of your skin care products. Also avoid touching your face with your hands because in that case, you are just sabotaging yourself.

FACE TOWELS: well this point has to do with your skin care routine but I’m still going to add it. If you use a towel to dry your face during your skin care routine you might actually be passing bacteria. Towels that don’t get washed often have high chances of containing a lot of bacteria so once you used them to wipe your face...(you know what happens). So you can either wash your towels every night or use those longer tissue rolls that don’t leave residue e.g. Bounty

WATER: now, don’t think I’m going to say drink your water, that’s a bit cliche😂. But spray your water! Yes, SPRAY! Get a spray bottle and literally spray your face with water, hydrate it. Hydrate your face from the inside(drinking water) and outside(spraying water). This keeps your face moisturized and makes it softer.

YOUR BRUSHES: this applies to brushes for washing your face e.g spin brushes. PLEASE WASH THE BRUSH!!! There’s no point going to extent of buying amazing skin care products and then using a dirty brush that hasn’t been wash in 3 months to apply it on to your face.

YOU SEE! So am I making sense or am I making SENSE?
