Five skin health do’s and don’ts to take note of
Say hello to natural, glowing skin by making sure you know these do’s and don’ts of skin health.
Take a moment to think about how many different products and brands you use on your skin on a daily basis. Most of us are guilty of using all sorts of products, without thinking about the impact it has on our skin’s health.
To help you adopt some healthier habits, Eco Diva has shared the do’s and don’ts of skin health:
- DON’T mix and match brands, as this can cause skin irritations. It’s like mixing drinks when you are out with friends. If you drink a cocktail, a tequila, a brandy, a glass of campaign and a beer, the night is not going to end well. The same applies to skin. Be a ‘tequila & soda’ girl with your skincare.
- DON’T go to bed with make-up on. This is no secret, and yet, we tend to skip the all-important make-up removal process after a late night out. Your skin needs sleep time to rejuvenate and recover, so give it the best possible chance of doing this, by following through with your bedtime skin care routine.
- DO find a brand you love and that works for you and stick with it. Follow the golden rule of: if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it.
- DO ensure the ingredients and formulations are of the highest quality and as natural as possible. If your skin is fed with the correct nutrients, it will naturally balance its pH levels and heal itself perfectly every day. Using astringent soaps, products containing harsh chemicals, preservatives, heavy metals or phthalates remove the acid mantle and can leave your skin vulnerable to fungal or bacterial infections or severe skin irritations.
- DO choose products that are in line with your moral and ethical values. Look for cruelty free, clean, nature-focused brands that are not only going to do wonders for your skin, but also for the earth.
