Getting smooth and beautiful skin? 8 practical tips!

Getting smooth and beautiful skin, who doesn't want that? Healthy and glowing skin is not only a sign of good care, but it also contributes to your self-confidence. Although there are many factors that can affect your skin, the road to better skin is within reach with the right approach. Read on quickly for valuable tips!

Main causes or uneven or problematic skin

Uneven skin can be caused by various factors. To understand how to achieve clear skin, it’s important to know the main culprits.

• Hormonal fluctuations: Hormonal changes, such as during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause, can lead to breakouts, redness, and irregularities in the skin.
• Improper skincare: Using harsh products or skipping your cleansing routine can damage the skin barrier, making your skin more vulnerable to irritation and inflammation.
• Diet and hydration: What you eat affects your skin. Sugar and processed foods can trigger inflammation, while a lack of water can leave the skin dry and dull.
• Environmental factors: Pollution, UV rays, and even air conditioning can damage your skin. These factors dry out the skin and cause premature aging.
• Stress and lack of sleep: Stress increases the production of the stress hormone cortisol, which can worsen inflammation and lead to breakouts. Additionally, insufficient sleep negatively affects the regeneration of your skin cells.

Now that you know the factors that play a role, let’s look at what you can do to improve your skin.

Tips for clear skin

1. Keep your skin clean, but be gentle

One of the most important steps towards clear skin is regular cleansing. Use a gentle cleanser that doesn’t dry out the skin, and make sure to wash your face in the morning and at night. Avoid hot water, as it can unnecessarily dry out your skin. Instead, opt for lukewarm water and pat your face dry with a soft towel.

2. Exfoliate regularly, but not too often

Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells and can contribute to smoother skin. However, it doesn’t need to be done daily—1 to 2 times a week is usually enough. Choose an exfoliant with gentle ingredients like glycolic acid or lactic acid, which are effective without irritating the skin. If you want to exfoliate safely, try The AHA Peel. It can be used more often because of its safe PH value

3. Hydrate from the inside and outside

Biochemici have found that proper hydration is essential for strengthening the skin barrier, which helps prevent moisture loss and keeps the skin supple. People with well-hydrated skin show fewer signs of irritation and dryness. Proper hydration is key to smooth skin, so drink enough water daily and use hydrating products like The Day Formula. 

4. Be gentle when hair removal

Shaving, waxing, and epilating can cause irritation or an uneven skin surface if not done properly. It’s important to ensure that the skin is clean and well-hydrated before starting hair removal. After the treatment, rehydrate your skin to reduce irritation and calm the skin.

5. Protect your skin from the sun

UV rays are one of the main culprits in skin aging and damage. Use sunscreen daily, or products like The Protector, with at least SPF 30, even on cloudy days. This not only prevents sunburn but also protects your skin from premature wrinkles and dark spots.

6. Use products with active ingredients

Active ingredients such as vitamin C and hyaluronic acid can significantly improve your skin. For example vitamin C brightens the complexion and protects against free radicals. 

Our favorite products, including The Night Formula and The Toner have a formula with 97% skin-identical atelocollagen, hyaluronic acid and peptides. This powerful combination penetrates deep into the skin and provides comprehensive anti-aging benefits. It tightens and restores elasticity and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. 

7. Watch your diet

Healthy skin starts from within. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants like vitamins C and E. Avoid sugar-rich and highly processed foods, as they can promote inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish like salmon, help keep the skin supple and reduce inflammation. They can also reduce skin aging and wrinkles.

8. Get enough sleep and reduce stress

Sleep is essential for skin repair. During sleep, your skin cells regenerate, contributing to a fresh and radiant complexion. Aim for at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night. It’s also important to reduce stress through activities like meditation, yoga, or a relaxing hobby. This helps lower cortisol levels and promotes better skin.
