While some trends bring great information and additions to our beauty routines, we believe in simplicity, and there are a few timeless beauty hacks your modern care routine definitely needs. If you are always ready for an upgrade, especially when it’s easy and uncomplicated, continue reading this article and find out all about our top beauty hacks that really work!
Remove Your Cleanser with a Clean Washcloth
Cleansing is not only about the cleanser you use. According to Joshua Zeichner, MD, you begin your routine by washing your hands thoroughly before you wash your face. Also, make sure you don’t use the hand towel hanging by the sink to dry your face unless you want to risk transferring bacteria straight to your clean, dewy complexion. Instead, have a soft, clean cloth designated only for your face. Removing your cleanser with a clean washcloth will ensure there is no leftover product, but make sure you don’t rub your face! Just pat it dry gently.
Splash Ice Water on Your Face!
What if we told you that you don’t need expensive facials because ice water can take care of your face? Water is amazing for your skin, not only in the long term because it hydrates it, but it can also make you look more youthful in minutes. We’re not joking! Just splash your face with cold water to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, make the dullness disappear, and refresh your skin. Not to mention that your skin will look so lively from pumping more blood!
Apply Your Products Immediately After Cleansing
Cleansing is mandatory, and water is necessary. But so is moisturizing, and this is why we’ve been talking about it so much! After giving your face a good cleaning, you need to hydrate your skin, and we recommend you don’t wait too long before applying your favorite products. If you don’t moisturize right after washing, you risk transepidermal water loss. This refers to the amount of water evaporating from your skin. The solution is a healthy skin barrier, and moisturizing and hydrating right after washing your face is key.
Pamper Yourself with Facial Massages
There are some incredible benefits of a good facial massage that we can’t ignore! Not only is it one of the most relaxing ways to end a long day at work, but it also improves oil distribution and the removal of loose skin. And let’s not forget about the skin blood flow boost and the overall improvement of your skin! But if you want to find out more about how facial massages help your skin, we wrote a whole article on this topic. Have a read!
Treat Your Neck Right
Most of us concentrate only on our facial skin, but the truth is that our neck and cleavage are as important. Did you know that the skin of your neck is as delicate as the skin on your face? This also means that it needs the same amount of attention. So, follow our advice and treat your neck as an extension of your face because it is. Cleansing, moisturizing, exfoliating, and hydrating are crucial steps for your neck, especially nowadays, with this new phenomenon known as tech neck. With bending our heads down and folding the skin on the neck all the time, even very young people can start noticing neck wrinkles.
Use a Silk Pillowcase for Your Hair and Skin
Whether you are a side- or stomach sleeper or you already sleep on your back to prevent face and chest wrinkle formation, a silk pillowcase will be life-changing. Not only is it a great way to protect your gorgeous hair, but also to fight against sleeping wrinkles and fine lines. Silk will not allow your skin to stretch against the pillow. Instead, it will easily slide. And, if you want to upgrade your nighttime routine, how about adding the Blumbody ultra-hydrating patches and pads into your beauty care practice? Wear them at night and let them act as a non-invasive treatment for all kinds of wrinkles and lines while you enjoy your beauty sleep and wake up to younger-looking, smoother, and glowing skin!
Carry a Travel Size SPF at All Times
And we’re, again, talking about sun protection. We mention the importance of SPF with every occasion, and we even have dedicated articles that explain why your skin needs to stay protected from the sun, no matter the season or how cloudy the sky seems. Carrying a travel size SPF is crucial for your face because applying it in the morning is not enough to last the whole day. You should reapply a few times while being outside to ensure your skin is not at risk. To find out why sunscreen is mandatory, enjoy reading our article about sun exposure!
The Backs of Your Hands Need Extra Care!
How many times do you moisturize your hands? So many people forget how exposed their hands are and how important hydration is. Actually, the back of your hands represents one of the first places to show signs of aging. This is why, whether you use natural oils such as coconut, or other creams, we recommend you apply the extra product to these areas.
Smoothing Pads and Patches
Smoothing Pads and Patches are also known for being an effective treatment for sagging skin. They are comfortable and can be used during the day or while you sleep. What they actually do is improve irregular collagen structure and increase the blood flow, offering you an enhanced skin tone, as well as preventing new wrinkles formation.
Just apply these “magical helpers” whenever you want and let them flatten out wrinkles and plump up depleted skin. Oh, your face, neck, and chest will thank you!
P.S. Spoil yourself this Valentine's Day with your most loved Blumbody patches & pads that will make your skin radiant and smoother!
