All of us want to have a pretty face with glowing and flawless skin, but it is rarely possible to invest a ton of time in skincare (especially when you have long work hours and a busy routine). I mean… When are we supposed to rest, right?

Today I want to discuss a few simple, proven methods to improve your facial skin health. The best thing about them? You can practice them daily without much effort. Sounds too good to be true? Read on to discover the best beauty tips for face that are simply timeless! We’ll touch skin, makeup, and everything else you need to enhance the beauty of your face!

 

Beauty Tips For Face: Create Flawless Skin

 

1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!

 

Water is the sign of life, and no life can exist without it. If you’re looking for the best beauty tips for face, I can’t imagine any skin care list on the internet skipping hydration – no matter what skin type you have!

Our skin consists of living cells, so you can’t expect to get radiant glowing skin without adequate hydration. Skimping on the water will leave your skin dry and flaky, and dry skin is more prone to fine lines and wrinkles as well.

It’s a good idea to trade sugary drinks for a refreshing glass of water, and your skin will thank you. Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day to flush out toxins and improve your skin health. Don’t forget your moisturizer, and if your skin still feels dry, opt for a hydrating sheet mask and wear it for 20 minutes several times a week.

One of the best (and seriously hyped on Reddit skincare forums) face masks is SNP Bird’s Nest Ampoule mask:

SNP – Bird’s Nest Aqua Ampoule

I have to admit that I was quite skeptical before trying this (it contains bird’s saliva, after all), but it’s probably one of the best hydrating face masks I’ve ever tried! The sheets are LOADED with serum and work like a charm – my skin feels incredibly moisturized and nourished after using it once. Plus, the price is superb as you can get 11 sheet masks for around $16.

 

2. Remove Your Makeup Before Sleep

 

If all you do at night is just a few swipes with makeup remover wipes… You might be ruining your skin.

Our face accumulates dust, oil, and sweat all day long. All of these substances can clog your pores over time, resulting in acne and blackheads. How can you prevent this? Proper cleansing is the key. Washing your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser, micellar water or cleansing milk is essential to maintain healthy and radiant skin. Choose a cleanser that fits your skin type and removes all the dirt without stripping off the natural skin oils, especially if you have dry skin.

If you want to go one step further, add an oil cleanser regimen to your skincare routine at least once a week. This method is proven to clean pores, reduce acne, reduce old skin cells and clear blackheads while maintaining the natural oils on your skin. And yes, it’s perfectly safe to use on oily skin too!

 

3. Use Sunscreen, Please!

 

If there is one fact that dermatologists universally agree on… It’s that using sunscreen is one of the most important beauty tips for face, ever. If you need to choose a single skincare product, you should pick a good sunscreen because it’s THAT essential for maintaining healthy skin and preventing fine lines.

When we step out in the sun, the harmful UV radiations penetrate the skin and start a chain reaction that results in free-radical formation. The free-radicals damage the cell membranes, which results in sunspots, wrinkles, and blemishes over the years. Using sunscreen helps to prevent this damage. Ten years down the lane, you will be grateful because you will have fewer fine lines and wrinkles than you could.

Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least 30 SPF and UVA + UVB coverage, or go the extra mile and pick strong, non-sticky protection like Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreens.

4. Don’t Touch The Pimples

 

We are all guilty of popping the occasional zit on our face, and I can’t deny that it kinda feels good! However, there is no scenario in which popping a pimple is healthy for our skin. Think about it, our hands touch just about everything that is contaminated, from mobile phones, laptops to doorknobs. Now imagine all these bacteria entering your skin through the open wound you just created by squeezing a whitehead. Sounds icky? There is a simple way to avoid this, and that is to stop touching those pimples. Let the acne heal on its own by following a simple, clearing skin care routine for healthy skin:

• Apply salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide spot treatments;
• If you have oily skin, avoid comedogenic skin care products ;
• Remove old skin cells by using a gentle exfoliator once a week;
• An alternative way to exfoliate is to use gram flour or baking soda mixed with water + a few drops of lemon juice (it’s a notoriously gentle, yet effective way to reveal new skin!);
• Use a face wash or moisturizer with ingredients that are suitable for combination skin – like Vitamin C, tea tree oil, and hyaluronic acid.

You should start seeing an improvement in your skin very soon! If you don’t, it may be time to visit your dermatologist (don’t be afraid of it – a professional can help you to solve pimple problems faster!).

 

5. Don’t Go Crazy With Skincare Products

 

Do you layer on 15 different products before you sleep in hopes of waking up with baby soft, beautiful skin? Let me break it down for you… More products don’t necessarily mean better skin.

Even if you have a myriad of lotions, face masks, and serums, do not give in to the urge to apply all of them at the same time. When you saturate your skin with so many products, it can result in clogged pores and a dull complexion. Try to limit your skincare routine to a few essentials (preferably – with natural ingredients ), including a gentle cleanser, gentle toner, a good moisturizer and eye cream. If you have dry skin, include a non-comedogenic skincare oil. If you have sensitive skin, choose products that are fragrance-free as well. Need more moisture? Include aloe vera gel as an extra moisturizer.

Also, check the ingredients before you apply different products to avoid mixing several exfoliating agents like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, AHA’s, and retinol together.

 

Beauty Tips For Face: Perfect Makeup

 

6. Use a Primer

 

One of the most popular beauty tips for face can be found in the world of makeup artists – no matter what look you’re going for, no matter your skin type, use a makeup primer (and a concealer!).

A good primer prepares your skin for makeup application, leaving with extremely soft, glowing skin and smooth surface, so all of your liquid foundations, concealers, and BB creams glide on flawlessly. Along with that, a nice primer will make sure your foundation stays on for the whole day and protects your skin from possible damage. If you choose well, it can even contain some SPF for extra protection. Talk about perfect skin care!

If you’re worrying that adding a primer step to your makeup routine will clog your pores, look for products that are marked as “non-comedogenic” and avoid oily formulas (especially if you have oily skin).

 

7. You Can Never Go Wrong With a Red Lipstick

 

Ah, the red one! Classic, super feminine, sultry and seductive lipstick that fits everyone. All you need to do is to find your perfect lipstick shade and you’re good to go! The reason why red lipstick is so loved by women through the centuries is that it adds a beautiful, bold accent to your face – in seconds! Just a few swipes and you’re looking brighter, fiercer, happier, more elegant, and even more irresistible to men. Just make sure to prep your lips before using a red lipstick – some nice lip scrub and a lip balm can make a whole lot of difference.

P. S. One more natural beauty tip to remember! If you have hair over your upper lip, your red lipstick will look a lot better if you remove it. Clear skin gives a nice contrast with red hues, so your lipstick appears more crisp.

 

8. Choose a Foundation That Matches Your Skin Tone

 

I get it, it’s fun to add a little bit of bronzy glow to your face just by choosing a foundation that is 1 or 2 tones darker than your skin . But don’t be fooled – this can backfire quickly.

One of the most important beauty tips for face is to always pick the right tone for your skin, and that includes foundation too. Applying a darker foundation either requires you to cover your neck as well (which is pretty unreliable in summer), or leaves you with a “mask effect” – a clearly visible line where your foundation ends, and the real skin begins.

 

Beauty Tips For Face: Enhance Your Facial Features

 

9. Do Not Over-pluck Your Brows

 

Thin eyebrows might have been a thing in the ninetees, but those days are long gone and we all hope they will never come back! Keeping your eyebrows full and lush is one of those beauty tips for face that may go untouched because, hey – it’s just eyebrows, right?

However, eyebrow hair and its shape are an extremely important accent of your face. Keeping them full (and tidy, if you like), gives your face a ton of feature enhancements:

• It frames your face beautifully;
• It makes you look younger;
• It emphasizes your eyes;
• It allows you to play with different makeup looks ;
• Having lush hair framing your eyes looks more natural;
• People just seem to love expressive eyebrows!

Did you manage to overpluck your eyebrows already? Here’s an easy homemade beauty tip – help them to regrow by applying castor oil or coconut oil before sleep, and brush them gently in the morning.

 

10. Massage Your Face Once a Week

 

This is one of the best beauty routine additions you can have – do yourself a huge favor and perform self-massage on your face.

Face massage is notoriously effective at improving circulation in your skin, thus reducing puffiness, stimulating collagen production and relaxing facial muscles. It’s one of the most important things to do if you want to prevent sagging skin , make your face appear slimmer and improve elasticity. A jade roller or gua sha can also be used to enhance circulation further. Simply speaking – massage your face to look better!

Note – before doing a facial self-massage, it’s best to watch a few tutorials on Youtube to make sure you’re doing things right. Always be gentle with your skin! Use a non-comedogenic skin care oil to avoid stretching. If you don’t know which one to choose, just stick with coconut oil or aloe vera gel.
