Skin health varies with each person’s physiology and lifestyle. From minimal skin or makeup routine to layers, or do nothing and get over yourself, calling it a day. Know your physiology. Understand how your skin responds to certain triggers. It differs with every individual. Your skin’s response to a certain condition may be normal to you according to your physiology. So it is important to understand when you need specialist’s advice, and what you can manage to do at home, regardless of the weather. I’ll start with my perspective on it, and then help you along the way in your skincare journey.
Looking at it from a bird’s eye view, healthy skin is a result of,
- A nutritious diet including less fried food
- Less triggering factors like stress and hormonal imbalances
- Choosing beauty products with fewer add-on ingredients
- Choosing skincare products with fewer pore-clogging ingredients
List Of 12 Signs Of Healthy Skin
Look out for the factors for healthy skin.
Triggering factors like stress and hormonal imbalances adversely affect your skin health, resulting in acne and aging.
They don’t call it beauty sleep for no reason. During sleep, your body boosts blood circulation to your face to rejuvenate your skin and give it a healthy glow.
You’d notice on a closeup of your skin, if it appears to follow a consistent pattern with bumps and needle pinholes, it is even. But if at some point you see none, and then the irregular pattern on another area of your skin, it is uneven.
Signs of dark spots, discoloration of the skin, or moles changing color are not healthy signs. This may need a visit to a general physician/ dermatologist.
5. Dry or dehydrated skin.
Dry skin is a big indicator of less water intake. Keep your skin hydrated.
6. Protein foods.
Protein foods are the best foods for skin repair.
Skin that turns red due to hot flashes, or sensitivity to an allergic reaction are signs of attention.
Skin loses elasticity upon aging. You can check that by pinching your skin and noticing how it feels and looks. You should feel elasticity upon release. If your skin wrinkles or gets red at that point but takes its time to get back to its original state, your skin needs your due attention.
Avoid ultraviolet rays from the sun. Don’t forget to put on your sunscreen.
10. Antibacterial cleansers.
Antimicrobial and antibacterial soaps and cleansers decrease the acidity of your skin. This makes it vulnerable to infections and healing.
Quit using talcum powders because they promote yeast growth and that is not easy to tackle.
Book your appointment with a dermatologist if you feel your skin requires attention from any of the above. Issues such as rosacea, eczema, and certain dermatitis conditions are well treated by consultants.
2 Ways of Caring For Your Skin
Exfoliation helps in clearing pore congestion and dead skin cell build-up, resulting in a natural glow. Also, this helps your next skincare products in the line, like serum or moisturizer, to absorb better. You can choose between physical exfoliators/ mechanical devices, or opt for chemical peels to prevent congestion and aging. Exfoliate approximately once in two weeks.
My Reasoning
This is the skinimalism, less is more! I would rephrase Pinterest’s definition. It should be minimalist makeup and skinimalism as completely separate terms. The latter is fewer skincare products layered on, but this is not my topic focus so won’t dive into it.
