Give yourself a beauty and skincare boost with these five simple steps for clearer, healthier skin. They’re ideal for someone who is always on the go.
These days, almost everyone is leading a busy life! With so much going on, it is easy for looking after yourself to fall off your to-do list.
Kids, shopping, life admin, work, planning, cooking, walking the dog, these all take time and it can be hard to find a few minutes for a beauty boost.
However, all that busyness can take its toll on your skin. Not only do you start to feel more tired, you look tired, which can impact your self-esteem and drag your energy down further.
Luckily, there are many simple things you can be doing for your skin that can have you looking more vibrant while having other flow-on health benefits.
Even the most flat-out people can add these five habits to their routine for a beauty boost and better-looking skin. Just follow the steps:
Drink enough water
Hydrated skin is healthy and happy skin so as much as you can, reach for water.
One way to up your water intake is to take a reusable water bottle wherever you go. You might make it more interesting with lemons and mint to inspire you to drink more.
Water gives you energy, delays hunger pangs and keeps your whole body hydrated. Your skin will appear more full and less dull when you have had enough water each day.
Get enough sleep
Even for the busiest people, sleep should be a top priority. Not only do you look older when you’re tired, it is harder to get as much done each day.
Studies show that screens keep our minds awake for longer so to sleep more and sleep better, consider going screen free after a set time each night. Perhaps you can experiment with taking everything out of your bedroom that might distract you, especially your phone.
Other ways to slow our brains down include reading a hard copy book, listening to gentle music, or taking guided meditation before you head to bed.
While the secret to some people’s success is less sleep, the truth is for most of us it is the reverse. Sleep well and you’ll look fresher and be able to achieve more.
Buy nice, not twice
There are a lot of skin care products on the market and some women feel so overwhelmed that they buy them all and never use them, or skip them completely.
If you’re short on time, our tip is to invest in a few quality products rather than a stack of cheap stuff you’ll never use. By opting for quality, you’re also not sending products and packaging to landfill. And you save time spent researching yet another option — one less thing to think about.
During your next visit to The Temple Skincare & Spa, talk to us about which products are recommended to incorporate into your daily routine. We’ll let you know what suits your skin best.
Keep your skin-cleansing products in the shower so you can quickly wash your face without having to add more time to your morning routine. At night, have some quality cream by your bed or next to your toothbrush so putting it on becomes automatic.
Put on a hat
Wearing a hat is perhaps one of the most simple and cost-effective ways to give yourself a beauty boost and it only takes a matter of seconds.
In a climate like Sydney’s, the abundance of sunlight can dry skin and cause premature signs of ageing. Choose a hat that makes you feel fabulous and leave it by the door. You’ll get used to putting it on whether it’s sunny or not.
Moisturising suncream
Another preventative and time-saving measure is to use a sun cream with a moisturiser. You will feel lovely and know that you are protecting your natural assets. For a daily beauty boost, keep a small tube of moisturising suncream in your handbag.
Our IMAGE range of lightweight moisturisers with built-in sunscreen will delay the sun’s effects.
