These simple routines can be brought into our lives in no time – and in the best case scenario, they can even make us shine: without any hidden costs!
Change the bed linen regularly
The way you make your bed is how you lie: literally! Because skin flakes, sweat, oils and other residues accumulate on the bedding overnight. This means: Our skin is in close contact with bacteria and germs, which can lead to skin irritation and impurities. So, grab washed bed linen every one to two weeks and wash it at 60 degrees. Beautiful skin overnight is definitely the program!
Don’t take a shower that’s too hot
Admittedly, a hot shower is like a long-awaited hug – a calming agent, especially on stressful days. But, as nice as it feels, the more stressful it is for the skin afterwards! The water takes that away from her natural oils, which in turn leads to dryness. Warm water is gentle and retains the skin’s moisture, which can lead to a healthy and radiant complexion.
To open the window
Okay, we don’t have to keep the window wide open all the time. However, fresh air not only helps to keep a cool head, but can also ensure that the skin knows how to revitalize itself better. A well-ventilated room ensures improved oxygen exchange and helps revitalize the skin. Regular ventilation can help prevent moisture loss, especially when the air is dry.
Sleep on your back
Wrinkles and fine lines can result from the pressure and friction of the face when sleeping on your side. In addition, in the side position, the face is visibly exposed to the force of gravity. The result? Areas of skin could sag over time and the face could appear asymmetrical due to constantly sleeping in the same position. The obvious solution? Sleeping on your back also minimizes contact between your face and the pillow, which can further minimize the formation of impurities.
Clean brushes
It sounds so simple, but it is often forgotten and underestimated! Dirty makeup brushes can cause skin irritation, just like bedding that isn’t washed infrequently. Cleaning your brushes not only prevents bacterial growth, but also improves skin health – and the result of your make-up! Because, admittedly, if you’ve previously worn brown eyeshadow, the light champagne shade won’t look as sparkling as it should afterwards. There are effective home remedies for cleaning brushes, such as vinegar and lemon. Just do that Add a few tablespoons of white vinegar to a small bowl of hot water, add the brushes with rotating movements and then rinse with warm water. Complete!
Sleep with a bowl of water
If you sleep with the window closed at night, you sometimes notice that the air becomes quite dry. A small bowl of water can help if it slightly increases the humidity in the room. The motto is: sleep with a little water more often.
Of course, none of these tips promise flawless skin or a glowing complexion — that definitely depends on several factors. But adding a free self-care bonus to your routine…that’s definitely never hurt.
