Your makeup game will be zero percent if your skincare game is not one hundred percent
To get glowing skin is a tough nut to crack especially if your routine life is a mess. Lack of sleep, constant worries, and imbalanced meals are some of the key reasons behind your dull and uneven skin.
We all know we cannot achieve our goals if we do not work hard for them. The same goes for skin care, if we do not invest our time and efforts in it, we cannot get healthy glowing skin.
SpendLessy wants to share some proven tips with you to help you start with a healthy skincare routine.
Face cleansing is the first baby step in skincare we cannot miss. Cleansers are formulated to remove dirt and excessive oil from the face that can clog your pores and cause dullness.
It is recommended to not directly start cleansing your face if you have applied makeup. Use any gentle makeup remover before you start cleansing. Please note a regular soap bar is not a cleanser. Soap bars are harsh for our delicate skin they can alter the PH balance of the skin which can cause bacterial infection or excessive dryness.
Try to invest in a cleanser that is fragrance-free and specially formulated for daily use. Choose your cleanser according to your skin type. If your skin type is dry, go for a hydrating cream cleanser, if your skin type is oily go for an oil-free gel cleanser, and if you have a combination skin you can buy a foam cleanser.
Before you start cleansing, wash your hands thoroughly. Take a small amount of cleanser in your palm and start cleansing your face. Gently rub your fingers in an upward direction for a circular motion. This tip will help in keeping your skin, tight and lifted. You can add a few drops of lukewarm water to increase the motion. The recommended time for a face cleansing is usually 2 – 3 minutes twice a day.
Before you invest in expensive cleansers give a try to these homemade face cleansers and get glowing and radiant skin in no time.
Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the outer layer of skin leaving the skin vibrant and glowing. There are mainly 3 types of exfoliations. Depending on your skin type and concerns, you choose the type you need.
Sharing with you some of our favorite natural exfoliation home remedies.
Grab your bottle of coffee and take half tsp mix it with 1Tsp coconut oil and make a thick paste. Apply it over your face with the help of your fingers in a circular motion. Leave it for a few minutes and rinse with water.

It has been said by many beauty experts, that if you want to invest only in 1 skincare product, you must invest in a sunscreen. Sunscreen is your skin’s best friend. Applying sunscreen indoors or outdoors is the best thing you can do for your skin.
Sunscreen serves as a protective layer of your skin. It shields your skin from harmful UV rays, and early signs of aging, lowers skin cancer risk, and prevents sunburn.
Imagine getting lots of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone in your early 30s. Take it as a horror story! Say all the thanks to the sunscreen and save yourself from premature aging.
From a pool of skincare brands, it is quite difficult to find a sunscreen. Before you buy a sunscreen make sure to check its SPF. Ideally SPF 30 or higher offers complete protection from harmful sun rays.
As water quenches our thirsty throats, a moisturizer hydrates our dull and dehydrated skin. Whether it is Summer or Fall, Winter or Spring, you need a moisturizer for every season.
It might sound strange, but a moisturizer is equally important for people with oily skin as it is needed the most by people with dry skin. A moisturizer boosts collagen production, improves skin elasticity, and reduces the risk of appearing fine lines and wrinkles. For people with sensitive skin, moisturizer works like a magic potion.
The anti-inflammatory ingredients in moisturizers like Niacinamide, Aloe Vera, Witch Hazel, Chamomile, Tiger Grass, Green tea, and Cucumber. These ingredients help in the repairing of damaged skin barriers, alleviate inflammation, and provide a calming and soothing effect.
A makeup lover cannot even imagine doing makeup without applying a generous layer of moisturizer. If your skin is well moisturized, your foundation and concealer will beautifully glide under your skin resulting in a seamless makeup with a radiant finish.
If you have dry patchy skin, you need rich creamy moisturizer however if your skin is excessively oily you can go for light-weight water-based gel creams.
If you are not doing any bedtime skincare, you are probably missing something. The night is the only time of the day when your skin gets some time to rest. Following a good night skincare will deeply replenish your skin with complete nourishment while you sleep.
When we sleep, our body automatically goes into restorative processes. Damaged cells of the skin undergo repair and regeneration. Night creams boost the cell repair process, increase collagen products, and intensely nourish the skin.
Nigh creams became hype when they were formulated with special ingredients that targeted some serious skin problems. There are many night creams in the market that are sold for a particular use. For example, Anti-Aging, Acne-Fighting, Hyperpigmentation, Skin Brightening, and Skin Lifting.
These specialized formulations work overnight to solve all sorts of skin issues. As compared to cleansers, and exfoliators, they provide more effective results within a few days of usage. Identify your skin concerns, research, and gift yourself a good night cream.
