At Live Young Wellness Spa, we want to emphasize the importance of keeping your skin clean while you are going about your daily routine. Many people forget to start with the basics when it comes to addressing skin concerns. As we continue to reverse signs of aging and help you maintain healthy, clear, and confident skin at our med spa, we also want you to be conscious of a few other factors that could be impacting your skin. Many people fail to realize that your daily habits are often reflected in the appearance of your skin. Through finding consistency in washing your pillowcases, washing your face after exercising, avoiding picking your skin, washing your face before bed, and hydrating you will recognize a glowing difference.
Wash Your Pillowcases
It can be easily forgotten that washing your pillowcases frequently will keep your skin clean making it less likely to experience breakouts during your bedtime. When you reuse pillowcases over time the oil, dirt, or makeup can build up on your pillowcases. When your skin sits on a dirty pillowcase for hours overnight the oils and bacteria can begin to clog your pores causing breakouts. At Live Young Wellness Spa, we recommend washing your pillowcases once every week to assist in skin clarity. As our skin care experts assist in treating your skin, you will maximize your results through a combination of treatments with clean skin habits.
Cleanse Your Skin Post-Workout
For those who are active, it’s even more important to take your skincare routine seriously. After you finish a workout your sweat, dirt, dust, and bacteria linger on your skin. If you exercise at a communal gym all the equipment is consistently being used by different people, which makes it imperative that you cleanse yourself accordingly. At Live Young Wellness Spa, we recommend packing a gentle cleanser in your gym bag and washing your face immediately after working out to protect your skin and prevent acne. Also, we suggest taking a shower to cleanse the rest of your body as soon as possible after your workout as well. If you can be consistent in cleansing after exercising you will notice a huge difference in your skin health.
Avoid Touching Your Face
A bad habit that many people possess is the constant picking of their skin. Picking at your skin and popping pimples can lead to an increase in bacteria on the skin, which can make your breakouts worse. Also, the risk of acne scarring can increase from picking and squeezing your acne as well. Our skin care experts advise you to consult with them to analyze your skin and provide you with a tailored treatment plan that addresses your needs. It can be difficult to avoid touching your skin, but we promise it will make a world of a difference.
Wash your makeup off before bed
When the day has felt long, and you are exhausted, it can be tough to fight the urge to skip washing your face before going to bed. However, when you choose to cave in and sleep with your makeup on, be prepared to wake up with a new pimple on your face. Sleeping with your makeup on can clog pores because the residual makeup traps the oil leading to breakouts. The makeup left on your skin can also rub onto your pillowcases, which can cause bacteria and oils to accumulate on your pillow. Also, if you have any active acne, leaving makeup on your skin overnight can cause an infection. Stay clear of skin inflammation and breakouts by removing makeup before you go to bed.
