Water helps cells absorb nutrients and shed toxins, too.

GET FACIALS DONE REGULARLY<\/strong><\/p>\n

When it comes to skin rejuvenation, sometimes you need a little more than a soothing cream or a refreshing facial scrub. Sometimes you need a professional to work her magic and cleanse parts of your skin you can\u2019t see. It\u2019s important to cleanse your pores so that you skin can look and feel healthy, both on the outside and below the surface. And good news, if a professional facial is too expensive for your taste, there are many at-home facial techniques you can try. Homemade overnight glowing skin recipes >><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

SAY YES TO STEAMS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clean pores are the key to clear skin. And one of the best ways to clear your pores is with steam. A facial steam offers several benefits including the softening and removal of dead surface cells, the cleansing of the pores and increased circulation, all of which can lead to clearer, glowing skin. Whether you visit the steam room at your gym, go to the spa or opt for an at-home steam, steam is definitely a friend to your face.<\/p>\n

MOISTURIZE DAMP SKIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t completely dry your body when you get out of the shower or a bath. Adding lotion to skin when it\u2019s still damp rather than completely dry\u00a0amps up the moisture quotient. Give moisturizer at least 2 minutes to work its magic before adding anything on top of it.<\/p>\n

MAKE EXFOLIATION A ROUTINE<\/strong><\/p>\n

You might be surprised, but weekly exfoliation will help your skin retain moisture. Exfoliation gets rid of dry top layers of dead skin cells and helps bring newer, moist skin cells closer to the surface. And exfoliated skin better absorbs topical moisturizers to seal moisture into the skin. Exfoliate your body in a lukewarm shower with a gentle salt or sugar scrub.<\/p>\n

SWITCH CLEANSER<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you get older, your skin needs a different type of care in order to look its best. Specifically, you will need an oil-based cleanser if you want to avoid depleting your skin of the natural oils that give it a healthy glow. You should also try to massage your face when cleansing (instead of rubbing it), as this reduces dryness and irritation.<\/p>\n
