5 EASY BEAUTY RESOLUTIONS FOR BETTER SKIN IN 2020

In order to keep your skin healthy and glowing for the upcoming year 2016, Tina Alster -MD, director of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery has suggested the five most skin-improving beauty resolutions that are easy to apply for everybody.

SPEND MORE TIME IN BED

With the temptation of internet, mobile phone, television and other entertainment facilities, it’s quite easy for us to stay up late. But when you power down and get to bed at a decent hour, it pays off when you look in the mirror. People who snooze for at least 8 hours actually feel more attractive. Research shows that being well rested makes others view you as better-looking, too. “If you’re interested in having your skin look younger and more healthy, then getting 7-9 hours of sleep each night is one of the best things you can do,” says Michael Breus, PhD, author of Beauty Sleep: Look Younger, Lose Weight, and Feel Great Through Better Sleep.

WASH YOUR FACE

It's no surprise that sleeping in makeup ages you. After a late night, we know how hard it is to run to the bathroom to remove your makeup. But if you don’t, it could remarkably damage your skin. "Sleeping in makeup can be detrimental to the skin's health," says Dr. James C. Marotta, Facial Plastic Surgeon & Skincare Expert. "This is especially true because the skin repairs itself at night while you sleep, so makeup can clog your pores and not allow the skin to breathe." Moreover, she also warns that it can cause uneven skin tone, dryness, acne, and even deepening of wrinkles.

SKIP SAMPLES

"Oversampling can lead to skin irritation and redness," Alster says. Some well known beauty brands always offer samples as an effective way to market their new products which may have fragrances or other ingredients that can bring on irritation or even an allergic reaction. Thus, don’t use too much beauty samples coming from different brands, especially that have too many ingredients which don’t really go well with your skin type. 

QUIT SOCIAL SMOKING

Girl smoking now becomes a new trend in the next generation despite a lot of its advantages. Research has been shown that the young tends to smoke in order to relax themselves, keep fit, get warm or even to look cooler. However, smoking can discolor the skin, teeth, and nails, and cause premature wrinkles and cancer. Therefore, if you want to look better, try to stay away from smoking. 

WEAR SUNSCREEN

One of the most important ways to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems — as well as increase the risk of skin cancer.  Therefore, one of the most important daily skincare habits to adopt is wearing sunscreen, regardless of the weather. Let use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 20 at least and apply generously and reapply every two hours — or more often if you're swimming.
