How to get perfect skin
1. Stay hydrated!
I know, I know, you've heard it before, but anyone, including Dr. Shamban, will tell you that the key to healthy looking skin is staying hydrated af. So, grab yourself a cute water bottle (may I suggest a Hydroflask?) and make sure it's with you at all times because no matter what else you do, if you're not hydrated, your skin will show it.
2. Learn your skin type
Before you can start treating your skin, it's important to know what kind of skin you have. Is it oily, dry, or a combination? Do some research or head to the dermatologist to get a definite answer. This way, you can make the most out of the products you use by picking lotions, washes, and masks out that specifically target your skin's biggest issues.
3. One word: sunscreen
I don't care if it isn't even sunny out, you should be wearing sunscreen every. single. day. UV rays damage your skin cells, and make your skin's surface uneven, meaning it won't "reflect the light very well, hence no glowiness," Dr. Shamban says. So, make it part of your morning routine and slap on suncreen every darn day!
4. Moisturize!
And while you're already applying cream to your face, make sure you moisturize as well. Dry skin looks dull af, so hydrate your face at least once a day with a good moisturizer.
5. Wash your face regularly.
It may seem obvious, but I'm going to go ahead and say it anyway. You should be washing your face twice a day. Clogged pores cause dullness, so get rid of all of the dirt, oil, and pollution dimming your glow.
6. Get into serums and oils.
Massaging a serum or oil onto your face in the morning can help wake up your complexion and get the blood moving.
7. Get good sleep.
It's called beauty sleep for a reason! "Enough sleep assists the skin in normal skin turnover and exfoliation," Dr. Shamban says. When you aren't getting enough sleep, your skin pays the price, so make sure to get at least seven hours a night.
8. Embrace vitamin C.
Vitamin C isn't just a good vitamin to have in foods, it also does wonders for your skin. Apply a few drops to your face every morning for a brightening affect that will also even out your skin tone.
