Are you unconsciously causing your skin harm by not being aware of your actions?
Being pregnant or nursing has your hormones fluctuating. That means that your skin is paying the price by being red, inflamed, and broke out. Lifestyle changes also interfere with your ability to complete your daily skincare routine which can cause additional problems such as blackheads and dry, itchy skin. By identifying the source of your issues, you’re better able to treat them effectively.
The five culprits listed here are directly responsible for your acne and dry skin.
Not washing off your makeup and forgetting to apply moisturizer.
All the oil, dirt, and makeup that was on your face during the day gets pushed into your pillowcase and further into your pores. That’s why it’s important for you to cleanse your face each evening, apply a light moisturizer, and change your linens and towels frequently.
Overwashing your face and body.
As bad as it is to not wash your face after a long day, it’s equally bad to overwash your face and body. Obsessively cleansing your skin zaps it of its natural moisture. It causes an overproduction of oil which makes breakouts more likely. You’ll also want to avoid taking hot showers and baths because they dry your skin out quickly.
Use a mild natural soap to cleanse your body. Chemicals and fragrances cause breakouts. Use enough soap to remove traces of dirt and oil but not so much that you’ve seen a thick lather.
Scrubbing your skin too hard.
You can irritate your skin if you scrub it too hard. Instead, opt to apply gentle pressure to a soft washcloth which acts as an exfoliator. Once you’ve rubbed your skin in a circular motion, pat it dry, and apply moisturizer. Avoid touching your face once you’ve completed your skincare routine.
Eating too much sugar and processed foods.
Opt for fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats such as nuts and avocado instead. Provide your body with the nutrients it needs to look and feel its best. You’ll see fewer breakouts and other skin issues. Also, make sure that you drink lots of water to stay hydrated.
If you’re having a hard time drinking enough water, opt to eat it instead! There are many fruits and vegetables that have a high water content that you can consume. Choose watermelon, cucumber, celery, strawberries, cantaloupe, iceberg lettuce, spinach, and tomatoes as a way to hydrate your body from the inside out.
Failing to find healthy ways to deal with stress.
Stress and breakouts go hand-in-hand. By developing healthy coping mechanisms such as engaging in meditation, yoga, and deep breathing, you’re able to deal with life’s stressors in a healthier way. Your body doesn’t pay the price for it. In fact, you may notice that a few small lifestyle changes are what it takes to rid yourself of skincare problems for good.
