5 habits that you should be doing daily to transform your skin

We’re always on the lookout for different ways to improve our skin, and although we know a good

skincare routine is crucial, there are so many other factors that are just as important. Thankfully, you don’t have to spend a fortune to make significant changes to your skin, and there are tons of basic daily habits that can literally transform your skin. The key to good skin is consistency. A combination between good skincare + daily good habits can turn your skin 360 degrees in a matter of a month.

1. Starting your day with a Detox Drink

Detox teas have become super popular over the past few years, but regardless of the trending factor, they’re really good for your gut health and therefore your skin. By starting every day with a cup of warm water and a detoxifying ingredient like lemon, you’ll help cleanse your liver of toxins that might otherwise impact your skin.

You’ll also hydrate and nourish your body, especially if you use warm water as it’ll help boost your digestive system, simultaneously helping you debloat. We like lemon, apple cider vinegar, cucumber, ginger, turmeric or even cinnamon. Our favorite way to wake up is to make a lemon, ginger and (organic) honey tea and set our intentions for the day ahead.

2. Give Yourself a Facial Massage

It only takes a few minutes, and with the right movements, you’ll boost circulation and remove toxins by draining them via your lymphatic system, which will also help to de-puff your face and lift the contours of your cheekbones. We like to do it every morning to;

• wake up with a daily routine which helps us practice consistency

• combat any morning puffiness and inflammation

• to sculpt and tighten our facial muscles by increasing blood circulation to the muscles

With a good face oil in conjunction of doing a guasha facial massage, it also helps skincare actives to penetrate into the skin more deeply. With the right skincare actives like peptides and antioxidants ,this will help increase collagen production which eventually helps with wrinkles and fine lines.

3. Exercising Daily

By exercising regularly you’ll not only look and feel healthier, but your skin will benefit too! Exercise boosts blood flow, which increases skin cell renewal and can speed up your body’s process of removing any skin-aggravating toxins. It’s also a natural mood enhancer and stress buster as it release endorphins (happy hormones) in the brain. Exercising for thirty minutes a day will make a real difference to your mind, body, and of

course, your skin. Remember, stress increases levels of cortisol in your body, and this hormone triggers an increase in oil, thereby increasing the chances of skin congestion that can lead to pimples.

4. Meditate with Your Skin in Mind

The science of meditation speaks for itself, and it can really help your skin as it’s such a powerful way to de-stress. By meditating for just five minutes a day (it focuses heavily on controlling your breathing), you’ll calm your mental state, while delivering oxygen to the skin, which is fundamental in promoting cellular health. Higher levels of oxygen will rejuvenate your skin, help balance your body, and boost cell and tissue repair. Try meditating for just 10 minutes a day using a wellness app, which will help clear your mind and improve focus while also promoting healthier skin.

5. Sleep to Restore Your Skin

While you’re busy sleeping your skin’s metabolism is working overtime, reproducing skin cells so it can repair and replenish more efficiently. So, if you’re not getting enough sleep, your skin is not getting this crucial time to replenish and restore – that’s why they call it beauty sleep. Ideally, you should be clocking in eight hours a night to wake up feeling well-rested.
