Wishing to have beautiful skin? All you need is a skin-care routine, ought to be stringently followed day and night.

A daytime regimen and a nighttime regimen for Clear Skin are going to show drastic improvement only when you follow the right order of applying your skin-care products. There is just no other way around it.

Your skin needs the skincare products in a specific order so that it can not only receive all the benefits promised by each product but also because we want some of the ingredients of these products to seep into the skin and heal it.

According to Dr. Heather Rogers, a board-certified dermatologist, and dermatologic surgeon, the skin only absorbs a small number of key ingredients even when the skin-care products are applied perfectly. Thus, it is absolutely necessary to follow an order that you can vow to stick to.

Morning Skin Care Routine

So you do not have to sleuth around on Google for the PERFECT morning skincare routine, we have it here for you and in the order that will give you the best results.

1. Cleanser

Your morning should not begin with you scrolling through Instagram. Instead, it should begin by splashing your face with cold water and using a cleanser which contains a little bit of everything: cetyl alcohol, propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate, stearyl alcohol, methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben.

You will also need to decide your skin type before buying and using the appropriate cleanser.  Is your skin oily, dry or combination of both?  You must deduce and then choose.

2. Face Wash

Using a face wash which contains glycolic acid, salicylic acid, kojic acid, azelaic acid, would be beneficial for you to get clean skin. You should use a foaming face wash in the morning and even as soon as you get home from work.

3. Serum

Serums are not as complex as you think. They are super-concentrated and nutrient-rich products that inhibit your skin’s inflammatory response and neutralize the damage caused by the UV rays. We recommend only antioxidant serums for the daytime.

For oily skin, use an oil-free, antioxidant serum and for combination skin, use a Vitamin C and ferulic acid-containing serum. As for dry skin, choose a serum that was made using moisture-binding ingredients such as Hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and Vitamin B3.

4. Moisturiser

Consider your moisturizer to be a hydrating agent that restores all the best qualities of your skin after it was exposed to the sun, the intermittent weather, and harsh chemicals around you. 

The best time to apply a moisturizer is when your skin is still damp. So, apply it right after cleansing face and before applying serum. Even oily skin requires moisturizing. Think of a moisturizer as the product which provides us with EXTRA-hydration.

5. Sunscreen

This is the last and final step of your daytime skin-care routine. Never leave your house without sunscreen. No matter even if it’s cloudy, the sun’s UV rays can harm skin. Do not skip this step, if you are staying inside too. 

Before you decide which sunscreen you must buy, know the basic differences between a physical and chemical sunscreen.

Physical Sunscreen Chemical Sunscreen
Physical sunscreen sits on the top of the skin Chemical sunscreen absorbs into the skin
It reflects the sun’s rays It absorbs the UV rays and converts them into heat
Active ingredients are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide 1000 – 5000 per session with 4-6 sessions required in a treatment course
Microdermabrasion Active ingredients are avobenzone, octinoxate, and oxybenzone
It is a more-moisturizing formulation It is a water-resistant formulation

Be assured that this morning routine is not time-consuming but immensely rewarding. 

Night Time Skin Care Routine

Your skin indeed repairs itself every night. 

However, you still need to pursue a strict nighttime skincare routine that will give your skin exactly what it needs. Here is the order in which you should use your skincare products in the night:

1. Cleanser

Experts do not need to remind you that you must remove your makeup before going to bed. After doing so, cleanse with a gentle cleanser.

Double Cleansing is a method that involves cleansing your face twice. First with an oil cleanser and second, with a water-based cleanser. This second cleanser is more or less a face wash which will hydrate your skin. Remember to buy a face wash that lists glycolic acid, salicylic acid, kojic acid, and azelaic acid as its primary ingredients.

The intention behind double-cleansing is to remove all those stubborn, pore-clogging impurities that can remain on the skin even after washing your face once.

PLEASE NOTE: 

Double-cleansing is only recommended at night as at that time, you will have a build-up of dirt and make-up that will need to be washed off.

2. Serum

Your skin tends to repair, restore, and regenerate itself every night. Hence, use serums that contain Vitamin A as this will aid in the process of getting clearer skin.

3. Moisturiser

One can even call it a night cream. However, a lot of people may use the same moisturizer for the day as well as night. 

Our recommendation is that you use a night cream as those are different from day creams in the sense that they are thicker, heavier, and meant to take time to absorb. The role of night creams revolves around creating a protective layer which also curbs water evaporation during the night.

Well-hydrated skin equals healthy skin. If you have oily skin, apply a face oil of your choice and apply the moisturizer right after. Applying any oil on oily skin type is not recommended.

15 Tips on How to Get Clear Skin

Now that both the daytime and nighttime skincare routines have been thoroughly discussed, we can get into the fifteen tips that will be life-changing for people who want a blemish free and smooth skin.

However, tips are merely bits of information which you can ignore or take into consideration. Therefore, the onus lies upon YOU for getting better skin.

1. Wash Your Face Twice A Day

Simple but very important! Wash your face after waking up and before going to bed every day. 

If you cannot manage to do it, at least wash it before sleeping so that the grime, oil, and dust can be removed before it has the time to do any damage. Individuals with oily skin may be tempted to wash their faces more than two times.

However, doing so can have the opposite effect as the skin will dry out and produce more sebum than before, creating more oil and acne on your face which can be prevented by using a good moisturizer. As for the people with combination or dry skin, we still suggest washing your face twice. And, for people who exercise and sweat, an extra wash is highly recommended!

2. Use A Mild Cleanser

You might start to have the hunch that a cleanser is an answer to all your skin problems. All you have to do is choose the right one and et voila! You’ll be blessed with nourished and beautiful-looking skin.

Cleansers play a humongous role in improving your skin’s quality. For starters, hydrating cleansers are most suited for dry skin. This is because they don’t lather but moisturize and clean the skin from the inside out.

A cleanser containing Hydroxyl acids is apt for excessively oily skin as it can disrupt the process of excess oil secretion. Mild cleansers for combination skin so that they can remove impurities, unclog pores and make the skin softer and more hydrated than before.

3. Exfoliate The Skin

An elusive term for many, we are sure. However, this blog aims to educate you fully about Skin Care that after finishing reading it, you can independently decide which product and which treatment will give you the best results.

Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the skin using a chemical, granular substance, or exfoliation tool. Imagine using any by rubbing it into or onto your skin so vigorously that all the unneeded skin cells flock to the surface and make your skin brighter and more glorious in the process.

You see, dead skin cells are obstinate. Instead of shedding every 30 days or so, they cling on and take the form of flaky patches or clogged pores. This is precisely when you should exfoliate!

But when to do exfoliation? Ideally, exfoliation should be done after cleansing and only twice a week. You can even use a scrub to exfoliate. The skincare market is so diverse these days that you will have no problem finding a scrub that will match your skin type. However, avoid scrubbing your face if you have red, painful, inflamed acne lesions.

4. Apply Moisturiser

Applying moisturizer is a sign that you follow an admirable skincare routine.

But which moisturiser? Always choose a non-scented lotion which is best suited for your skin type. If it has rave reviews online, even better!

Opting for a moisturizer that smells nice and looks nicer is enticing. However, make the wiser choice by buying a product that will compliment your skin, not your vanity. Of course, choosing a formulation according to your skin type is a must. The vitamins will maintain your skin’s moisture levels and the sunscreen will prevent premature lines and wrinkles.

How to apply?

The rapid, circular motion will stimulate blood circulation and propagate new cell generation.

What’s also unavoidable is using lotion after exfoliating or when your skin feels drier than usual.

5. Don’t Skip The Sunscreen

While this step may look unnecessary on the surface, it contributes significantly to the deeper layers of your skin. After all, no other product can do what sunscreen does and that is protecting your skin from UV A and UV B rays.

What is SPF? How to Choose the Best Sunscreen?

If you have ever wondered what the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) number indicates, you’re not alone. It refers to how long it would take for the Sun to redden your skin. Therefore, a sunscreen with SPF 30 would take 30 times longer to burn your skin than if you weren’t wearing sunscreen. Similar to a sunscreen with SPF 50 which incidentally only allows 2% of the UV B rays through your skin.

Now, next time you shop for sunscreens, you will know which SPF number to prefer more.

6. Stay Hydrated

Not a day goes by when we don’t recommend drinking 6-8 glasses of water to get glowing skin.  Remember that the moisture your skin needs can also come from your body. Keep a large, water-filled bottle close by which can also indicate how much water you have drunk in a day.

7. Eat Antioxidant-Rich Foods

Consider antioxidants your new favourite, intangible superheroes. Wondering why you need antioxidants? 

Because they combat pollution, stress and reduce the side-effects of a poor diet. An antioxidant-rich diet will keep your skin, hair, and nails looking and feeling healthy. Foods which can be included in this diet are fruits and vegetables rich in B Carotene like pumpkin, mangoes, apricots, carrots, spinach. The following foods can also be included in the diet:

  • Blueberries: When eaten regularly, they can repair sun-damaged skin. They also promote the hearty blood circulation in your body.
  • Dark chocolate: Snack on high-quality dark chocolate when your spirits are low and when you want to reduce the effects of hypotension and hypertension. Think of it this way: by eating dark chocolate, you garner a glow from the inside which reflects on the outside.
  • Beans: Regular beans and pinto beans both contribute to the reduction of inflammation. They are also enriched with proteins and dietary fibre.

8. Get Proper Sleep

A study conducted by the Department of Dermatology, University Hospitals Case Medical Center, Cleveland, OH, USA concludes that poor sleep quality is related to signs of ageing, limited skin barrier function, and an insecure mindset regarding one’s appearance.

The takeaway from this study is that we all NEED a minimum of 7 hours of sleep to revive our skin.

9. Eat Healthy Foods Rich In Amino Acids, Vitamins & Minerals

Nine of the twenty amino acids will be inherited from the food you eat!

All you need to know is that an amino acid deficiency can cause problems with your digestive system, which can later show on your skin as it can appear dull and unattractive.

Amino acid deficiency –> disturbed digestive system –> dull and unattractive skin

Consume the following foods to prevent this from happening:

  • Eggs: Supplied in abundance with vitamins A, D, E, K B2, B6, B12, and minerals like zinc, iron, and copper, eggs are a versatile and delicious food which can leave your skin looking healthy and fresh.
  • Legumes: There are a variety of members in the huge legumes’ family. Some of them which you can easily incorporate into your diet are peas, chickpeas, peanuts, etc. They can also be key ingredients in a Quinoa salad!
  • Nuts: From cashews to almonds, all nuts help to boost your energy, gain muscle, and hinder the process of ageing in your skin.

10. Avoid Popping Pimples

Dr Pimple Popper makes it sound SO tempting, doesn’t she? 

However, pimple-popping is a strict no-no because it leaves behind scars, dark spots, and rashes and there are chances of spreading your pimples more over your skin.

11. Follow Healthy Lifestyle

It goes without saying that you should. 

Addictive activities such as alcohol and smoking can damage the skin so much that before you know it, your skin will start to look like the worst version of itself.

12. Stop Touching Your Face

Consider your hands your ultimate nemesis in this case. The more you pat your face, thinking it’s harmless touching, the more bacteria will transfer onto it and then breed and nurture from thereon.

13. Keep Changing Your Pillow Covers

People often overlook this tip, thinking it won’t damage their skin.

Always remember that:

  • Cotton pillowcases may make your skin dry, thereafter causing redness and itching. Occasionally, rough cotton or other materials can cause flare up acne or rashes due to friction.
  • If you can afford it, go for pure silk or satin pillowcases as those have been known to reverse the ageing process to a certain degree.

14. Be Consistent While Following Your Skincare Routine

As mentioned before, astringently followed skincare routine at night and during the day will give the best results. Forgetting about either one will not be ideal if your ultimate goal is having clearer skin.

15. Remove Makeup Before Going To Bed

Your mother and even your grandmother will give you this tip if prompted. 

As stated before, our skin needs the time and space to revive and if that is obstructed by layers of makeup, this will cause our skin to undergo irreparable damage.

7 Lifestyle Factors that affect the Skin

1. Poor Nutrition

Consuming a diet low in essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can lead to dull, dry, and aging skin. Poor nutrition deprives the skin of vital elements needed for repair and maintenance, potentially causing issues such as acne, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity.

2. Excess Smoking

The carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke substitutes the oxygen in your skin and the nicotine slows down blood flow, thus making your skin appear almost sallow and dull. 

Due to chain-smoking, your skin will lose its appeal over time.

3. Alcohol Consumption

What they say is true. A glass of red wine once in a while displaces your bland skin tone to a more glowing one. However, overconsumption of alcohol will speed up the ageing process, thus cursing your face with wrinkles and fine lines.

4. Stress

Why stress when you can bless yourself with Clear Skin? 

Two of the many ways to do it is to step out in fresh air as much as you can and deep breathe. If you don’t, stress will cause major hormonal imbalances in your body, thus giving your skin a more “shrivelled” look.

5. Sleep

If you deprive your skin of the time it requires to rejuvenate, then you will heavily affect the look and feel of your skin. You will feel tired but your skin might have to pay the price.

The choice lies with you: a beauty sleep or a questionable amount of it.

6. Water Intake

Don’t hate, hydrate!

What are we without water? And, more, what is our skin without it? 

To achieve that blemish-free look, sip on tons of water to feel healthier and more confident. It is always recommended to have 6-8 glasses of water a day.

7. Excess Makeup

More often than not, we put on layers and layers of makeup, thinking it will kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. First, the foundation will hide any spots on our skin. And second, we will feel prettier.

However, excess makeup has more cons than pros as it can lead to clogged pores and acne if not cleaned properly.

Follow the tips below for a safer makeup-removal process:

  • Wash your face every night, no matter how tired you feel.
  • Wash your makeup brushes once a week by soaking them in gentle soap or your favourite face wash.
  • Find suitable makeup products that have been able to live up to the hype and suit your skin type.
  • Do NOT share your makeup products.
  • Try to keep your everyday makeup look minimal yet enough.

Does What You Eat Affect Your Skin?

 

Yes, it does. It even reflects on it.

If you are on an all-carb diet which consists of greasy and spicy foods, it will show in the form of acne and excess sebum production. However, there are ways to minimize the bad effects of bad eating. And, they require shifting to a balanced diet that consists of foods rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, etc.

We recommend that you still have cheat days but not without transitioning to a safe and healthy diet first.

There are evident studies that showed that what we eat in a day affects our skin and appearance. Various nutrients affect skin wrinkling, dryness, thinning, and other skin conditions. The vitamins, minerals and antioxidants present in foods like fruit, vegetables and healthy fats are directly associated with fewer wrinkles and less age-related dryness. 

Let’s have a closer look at what foods to include and what types of foods should be avoided to achieve healthy and glowing skin.

21 Best Foods For Clear & Healthy Skin

1. Fatty Fish

Nosh on salmon or mackerel as they come under this category. They contain Omega-3 Fatty acids that contribute massively to thick and healthy skin.

8. Spinach

9. Bell Peppers

Colour doesn’t matter because all types of bell peppers have Vitamin C and A in them which promote skin growth and collagen synthesis.

10. Tomatoes

11. Coconut Water

But Wait… There are foods which you need to avoid too

5 Foods to Avoid for Clear Skin

But Wait… There are foods which you need to avoid too.

We had to include a list in this blog that will remind our lovely readers to stay away from foods that could clog their pores and cause breakouts.

1. Oily Foods

The science behind why oily foods are bad for your skin is simple IF you pay close attention. When any vegetable oil is heated, it becomes oxidative and releases free radicals in your body. The latter becomes toxic and causes oxidative stress in your cells. Your skin may become inflammatory in the process.

2. Dairy Products

The process of how dairy products can be harmful to our skin is both fascinating and alarming. For instance, milk has a hormonal component in it which activates the oil glands in our skin, thus causing acne breakouts.

Not only that but many lactose-intolerant people are unaware of their condition. They go on drinking milk, not realizing that it can increase their blood sugar levels and cause digestive problems in their gut.

All these inconveniences do not take long to show on your skin.

3. Sugary Foods

Neither is a tiny amount of sugar okay nor a moderate amount. 

Sugar in any quantity harms our skin and body both. Consumption of sugar triggers a process known as glycation in which a sugar molecule and a lipid molecule combine to form advanced glycation end molecules (AGEs). AGEs damage the collagen that keeps our skin firm and fresh.

So, next time you add that extra spoonful of sugar, remember this section of the blog.

4. Spicy Foods

Who doesn’t like spicy foods? 

But before we love them unconditionally, we must know the side-effects of consuming them. Take into consideration the fact that all spicy foods contain acidic Lycopene which can irritate your skin and throw off your pH levels’ balance.

These conditions will cause breakouts on your skin, thus making it redder.

5. Alcohol Consumption

While a glass of bubbly sounds nice, alcohol can dehydrate your skin, thus making your wrinkles and pores look more prominent. Drinking alcohol will always be appreciated, as long as it is done in moderation. Prefer to drink clear alcohols such as vodka. You can put two and two together, right? Clear alcohol equals to Clear Skin!

While drifting apart from your favourite foods and drinks is hard, remember that everything has a price. 

And if this price entails you getting a Clear Skin in the bargain, why stall?

10 Essential oils for Skin Care

1. Coconut Oil

The best word one can use to describe this oil is ‘magical’ as it hydrates your skin and assists it in retaining moisture, thanks to the fatty acids in it.

2. Olive Oil

Recognized for slowing down the oxidation process in our body’s cells, this oil prevents premature ageing. If applied after sun exposure, it can contribute to killing dangerous cancerous cells.

3. Sunflower Seed Oil

Favoured by many skincare fanatics, this essential oil reduces the chances of acne and irritation of the skin.

4. Jojoba Oil

Your anti-ageing process will slow down notably if you use this oil. Labelled as ‘lightweight’, it can do wonders for oily skin and repair the epidermis concurrently.

5. Almond Oil

An all-stop solution for dry skin, this essential oil enhances the skin’s appearance and the retinol in the oil reduces the acne.

6. Grape Seed Oil

This oil’s healing properties hinder the acne-causing bacteria from seeping deep into the skin and causing breakouts from thereon.

7. Lavendar Oil

This essential oil has a myriad of benefits. Some of them include retaining skin moisture, reducing redness, and repairing dry skin without making it too greasy.

8. Chamomile Oil

Not suitable for people with ragweed allergies, this essential oil still solves many skin problems such as inflammation and dryness.

9. Sandalwood Oil

An essential oil that reduces inflammation on your skin and makes it more magnificent.

10. Lemongrass Oil

Not suitable for sensitive skin but a life-saver for people with oily skin. This essential oil helps close all your open pores.

Treatments for Clear Skin

Medication for Clear Skin

Treatment for acne is also available in the form of medication. However, resort to it only after you have exhausted all the possibilities of healing from at-home skin care methods. Before starting such medications, a dermatologist’s opinion is must.

1. Vitamin C

Even the Indian Dermatology Online Journal concurs that Vitamin C as a drug can treat hyperpigmentation and photo-ageing. So, next time your dermatologist prescribes this drug, know that it will have the desired effects on your skin.

E

2. Vitamin E

People with oily skin tend to have Vitamin E in their dermis and epidermis. When Vitamin E is taken orally, it reaches the skin through the sebum produced from the sebaceous glands.

It can also be applied topically as it is available in creams and makeup.

3. Zinc

Wound and acne-healing zinc can be taken orally. It assists in collagen production and DNA repair. However, more research is needed to understand the extent of its effects.

4. Antioxidants

In a seemingly harmless fight between free radicals (the unstable molecules that cause lots of turbulence at the cellular level) and antioxidants (ones that are made naturally in the skin), one may experience oxidative stress, thus causing hyperpigmentation and acne.

In this case, expert dermatologists recommend that you not only wear sunscreen every day but also apply an antioxidant cream or serum.

5. Glutathione Tablets

These tablets cater to reducing the effects of ageing. 

However, there is very little evidence confirming its effects. It is also banned by some federal agencies. It is best to ask your dermatologist about this under-researched drug that promises to tighten drooping skin.

6. Isotretinoin

This medicine is prescribed when severe acne does not respond to other treatments. This drug is a retinoid, meaning it is a Vitamin A derivative. 

It has shown to act just as the naturally-occurring Vitamin A would.

7. Tranexa

More commonly known as Tranexamic acid, this agent is used to reduce the effects of the pigmentation caused post-UV-rays exposure. 

It has been approved by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA)

8. Vitamin D

Vitamin D deficiency is the most often cited cause of acne. 

While it is also known as the ‘sunshine Vitamin’ since you can derive it from sunshine, it is also available in creams and supplements. Taking the former will inhibit bacterial growth and the latter will hinder acne from returning.

9. Iron

Wounds on your skin may be caused by an iron deficiency. 

In this case, consider taking iron supplements which can rectify this problem.

10. Vitamin K

Certain skin conditions such as stretch marks and spider veins can be reduced after taking Vitamin K in the form of creams. Doctors also use this cream on patients who have recently undergone surgery as it reduces bruising and swelling.

How can I Get Clear Skin – Treatments

Now is the perfect opportunity to shed light on some cosmetic procedures which are aesthetically pleasing and give quicker results.

1. Chemical Peels

Chemical peels shed the top layer of our skin so that the layer underneath which is supposed to be healthier can come to the surface. It is a dermatologist-approved method known to reduce acne scars, lighten dark spots, and unclog pores.

To avoid getting a harsh reaction from the wrong chemical peel, consult first and according to your skin needs, use it under dermatologist guidance.

2. Low-Level Laser Light Therapy

LLLT has become renowned for reducing wrinkles, acne, and burns. It is a non-invasive skin-clearing method which has no adverse side-effects. It helps to kill acne-causing bacteria and improves blood circulation to the skin.

LLLT involves exposing the skin to low levels of red and near-infrared (NIR) light.

3. Intense Pulsed Light

The IPL therapy is used to uplift the colour and texture of your skin and narrow down the noticeable photoaging. IPL targets chromophores that are capable of absorbing energy. 

This works on principles of photothermolysis, and the radiations are targeted on pigmented parts. It also helps in reducing redness and inflammation in lesions.

4. Microdermabrasion

You don’t need numbing cream for a procedure which comprises spraying tiny crystals on the outermost layer of the skin to remove it. 

A microdermabrasion machine blasts abrasive crystals on your skin at a high speed.

5. Fractional Q-Switched Laser:

Another non-intrusive laser treatment that helps to minimize photo-damaged skin. There are no intense side-effects associated with it. This works on the principle of selective photothermolysis.

6. Platelet-rich Plasma Therapy

Plasma is separated from your own blood and then injected into our skin to improve skin quality, complexion, and tone. It is a safe procedure that gives the most organic results.

7. Dermaroller

This device is used while micro-needling; when tiny needles prick the skin to promote new tissue generation and lift saggy skin.

It helps to minimize the open pores, improves the appearance of your scars, and tightens the skin.

8. Erbium Glass Laser

This skin layer treatment works more on the deeper layers of the skin and spares the epidermis. It has less downtime as it doesn’t damage your skin’s 1st layer i.e. epidermis.

9. Micro-needling Radiofrequency

The addition of radiofrequency in this procedure helps reduce acne scarring and propagates collagen production.

10. Cryoslush

This procedure can be used either as a facial or a cleansing treatment in which the cystic acne is subdued. Cold liquid or instrument to freeze and destroy diseased tissue.

11. Electroporation

When combined with Electroporation, Fractional Q, or a chemical peel, it can exfoliate the dead cells from the face and take out the impurities from the skin. This also helps in rejuvenating your skin.

13. Carbon Peel

14. Dermapen

Dermapen for skin also known as micro-needling is increasingly being accepted by the people. It is one of the most innovative skin rejuvenation therapies for treating various skin problems. Dermapen helps the skin to repair itself.
