Facials Over Filters: The 12 Basic Rules of Skincare

Ready to rock healthy, glowing skin? It's easier than you think! With just a few simple habits, you can keep your skin looking its best and skip the filter. Here’s how:

1. Wash The Day Away: Wash your face every night with a gentle cleanser to keep it fresh and clean. Aim for at least one full minute of cleansing to remove dirt, makeup and pollution. For those battling breakouts, consider a double cleanse! We LOVE the Quiet Wash for daily cleansing!

2. Moisturize: Keep your skin hydrated with a lightweight moisturizer, even if your skin is oily. A lack of moisturizer/barrier can lead to more oil production! Check out Hush Hydrate Gel.

3. Sunscreen Every Day: Protect your skin from sun damage by wearing sunscreen with at least SPF 30—rain or shine.

4. Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and reveal a glowing complexion. We love the Refine Polish from Hale & Hush!

5. Mask It Up: Treat yourself to a fun face mask once a week for extra care. Ask us about one we would recommend for you!

6. Drink Water: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water—it’s the easiest way to keep your skin happy. Try infusing fresh fruit or mint to add flavor and nourishment.

7. Eat Right: A balanced diet with Whole Foods, and healthy snacks helps your skin glow from the inside out.

8. Hands Off: Avoid touching your face to prevent breakouts. Your skin will stay clearer and heal faster if you keep those hands away!

9. Clean Your Tools: Wash your makeup brushes and sponges regularly to avoid transferring bacteria to your skin.

10. Get Your Beauty Sleep: Sleep well and manage stress to keep your skin looking its best. While you’re at it, take some deep breaths to increase lymph circulation.

11. Fresh Pillowcases: Change your pillowcase often to keep your skin clear and clean.

12. Hair Care: Keep hair away from your face and avoid heavy, oily products that can cause breakouts.

And remember, no one has perfect skin!l Your skin tells your story, and every blemish or freckle is part of what makes you uniquely you.

These small habits can make a big difference in the overall health and glow of your skin. Try adding a few to your daily routine and let us know if you notice a difference!
