Tip # 1: Hydrate yourself!

It really is important to drink water every day. In fact, doctors require at least eight glasses of water a day. According to Amy Leland, a physician from Indiana School of University, drinking water can help your skin stay healthy, moisturized, and look fresh! Staying hydrated is also very essential especially during this season, because the heat can not only dry up your skin, but also make you dehydrated. So, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!

Tip # 2: Wash your face before sleeping!

Exhausted after a long day of classes? Exhausted after going to a fun night out? It’s still important to wash your face first before going to sleep. Make sure to make time of at least ten minutes to clean your face. Also, it is best to wash your face before sleeping to make sure you remove all the dirt, oil, and even make-up that you were wearing during the day. Make-up, along with dirt, will clog your pores, which will then lead to breakouts.

Ram Selva from 9-Gold states, “Throughout the day you encounter a lot of things that would cause dirt to stay on your face, which makes your face dirty. Because of this, I make it a habit to wash her face before going to sleep.”

Matthew De Castro from 10-Yakal, agrees with this, he states, “Because your skin needs time to breathe, too. Sleeping with make-up on may cause premature aging, wrinkles, and acne from the bacteria and dirt from pollution throughout the day.”

Tip # 3: Sunscreen and moisturizer are your best friends.

These sunscreen and moisturizers will really come in handy, especially now that it’s still summer. According to Marco Strzeszynski, content producer for InstaNatural, sunscreen not only protects your skin from UV rays; it also prevents your skin from developing signs of aging and protects the important proteins in your skin, such as collagen, keratin, and elastin, which are responsible for keeping your skin healthy. Moisturizers, on the other hand, prevents dry skin, protects sensitive skin, and reduces the appearance of blemishes.

Therese Papa from 12-Karunugan shared, “These products keep my skin hydrated and protects it from UV!”
