The majority of us tackle skincare problems on a daily basis. Whether you have a blemish, dry skin or dark undereye circles, these issues can be frustrating to deal with. If you want to combat your skin troubles, take a look at these 4 common skincare problems and how to fix them.
Spots
Spots can occur at any age and they’re the result of pores blocked with dead skin cells, sebum, or other impurities. To keep spots at bay, remove your makeup in the evening, wash your makeup brushes regularly, avoid harsh products, eat a balanced diet, and drink lots of water.
Dry skin
Dry skin requires hydration and nourishment. Use a daily moisturiser, both in the morning and evening to help soften, smooth and hydrate dry skin patches.
Dark circles
Dark circles are usually hereditary, however, a lack of sleep and poor diet will make undereye circles look worse. Using an eye cream twice per day, as well as eating a balanced diet, drinking eight glasses of water per day and attempting to get eight hours sleep each night will improve the condition of dark circles.
Fine lines
Fine lines become more pronounced as we age due to collagen production decreasing. Establishing a good skincare routine with a cleanser, toner, exfoliator, serum and moisturiser will help to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, reducing your alcohol intake and quitting smoking will also help. If your skin is regularly exposed to the sun, use an SPF to protect your skin from sun damage. For a healthy, radiant complexion, using an exfoliator, such as glycolic acid or microdermabrasion, will remove dead skin cells to promote glowing skin. Using oils instead of your regular moisturiser can also aid a plumper, smoother and fresher complexion.
