5 Things People With Clear Skin Do Differently

Having clear, radiant skin is something we all want.

But nowadays, navigating the beauty market saturated with so many different products seems just too complicated. Not to mention the various facial treatments.

Luckily, there are some tricks you can borrow from people who are blessed with perfect skin because even spotless skin demands maintenance.

Wash their face (with cold water)

We all know this: washing your face is the first step of every skin routine.

But do you know how often you should wash your face?

Many people think the more, the merrier, but when it comes to your skin, you should avoid excessive washing.

Dermatologists generally recommend washing your face twice a day to remove dirt, oil, and makeup that can accumulate on the skin throughout the day. This will help you keep your skin clean and clear and prevent the development of acne and other skin problems.

Washing your face more frequently than twice a day is counterproductive, as it can strip the skin of its natural oils and lead to dryness, irritation, and sensitivity. Use a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser, and avoid scrubbing or rubbing the skin too vigorously when washing your face.

As with every rule, there are some exceptions.

If you work out daily, always wash your face with a gentle face cleanser to remove makeup.

Try to wash your face immediately after the workout. This will help you remove sweat, dirt, and oil, prevent infection (and stubborn pimples), and refresh your skin.

Another essential thing to keep in mind is the temperature of the water. The best temperature for washing your face depends on your skin type.

Today more and more people practice washing their face with cold water as it has many appealing benefits.

  • Calming the skin: Cold water may constrict blood vessels and even reduce inflammation in the skin. This can be beneficial for people with redness, sensitivity, or acne, as it may help to reduce the appearance of redness and calm the skin.
  • Tightening pores: This can be beneficial for people with large pores or oily skin, as it can help minimize pores’ appearance and reduce excess oil production.
  • Refreshing the skin: Cold water may refresh the skin and give it a more awake, energized appearance. This can be especially beneficial in the morning, as it can wake up the skin and give it a boost.

Even though these benefits seem ideal, it is important to note that washing your face with cold water isn’t the perfect solution for everyone. Some people may find cold water too drying or irritating for their skin type. If you have dry or sensitive skin, consider using lukewarm water instead.

Avoid towels

Have you ever used a not-so-dry towel to dry your face?

There’s nothing worse than drying your face with a towel that everyone uses.

Of course, a logical solution is to have your own towel just for your face. Still, dermatologists don’t recommend using a regular towel at all.

If you are struggling with acne or sensitive skin, use paper towels instead.

Regular towels can harbor bacteria and fungi, which can be transferred to your skin when you use them. This can lead to irritation and breakouts, especially for people with sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Use sun protection

Finding a perfect sun protection day cream that won’t clog your pores and will hydrate your skin is a lot of work, but it is necessary.

The sun is not a friend to our face, no matter the season since its ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage the skin and contribute to a range of skin problems.

Exposure to UV rays may dry and irritate your skin and can even lead to sunburn. In addition, prolonged exposure to the sun may cause your skin to age prematurely, leading to the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots.

Avoiding the sun and using sunscreen is an important step in maintaining healthy, young, radiant skin.

Avoid picking at their skin

Yes, picking at the skin can be tempting, especially when you see a blemish or imperfection you want to eliminate.

However, it is advised against because it can lead to a range of skin problems like scaring or infection or even worsen the existing issues.

There are some ways to avoid picking at your skin (and avoiding mirrors isn’t one of them).

Pimple patches can help.

A pimple patch is a small, adhesive patch applied to the skin to treat pimples and acne. It is typically made of a thin, clear material infused with active ingredients designed to treat and heal pimples.

Even though they may be a convenient and effective way to treat acne and improve the overall health and appearance of the skin, they won’t work on blackheads, deep cysts, or whiteheads that aren’t oozing.

For these, you may need a facial.

Don't skip facials

No matter how good you take care of your skin, which products you use, or what healthy food you eat, your skin needs facials.

Facials are designed to help your skin shine and maintain that healthy glow.
They typically involve a series of steps, such as cleansing, exfoliating, and applying a mask.

But if they are so amazing, why do people often avoid them?

Because facials include extractions, which are quite painful.

Luckily, there’s a way to avoid the pain.

HydraFacials.

What is HydraFacial?

Anyone who has tried HydraFacial can confirm that this is more than just a facial. 

It’s a type of facial that combines the best of modern technologies, a state of art equipment with the highest quality product to ensure your skin will have that radiant glow we all dream of.

Each HydraFacial treatment consists of 3 necessary steps: 

  1. Cleansing and peeling to remove dead skin cells
