Overview
Sometimes it’s hard to know what your skin really needs to be as healthy as possible. The health of your skin will be one of the first things people notice about you, so it’s important to implement a natural skin care routine that will help clear your skin. With so many dissenting opinions regarding skin care, it can be difficult to find a routine that best suits you and your skin type.
1. Moisturize
All skin types can benefit from moisturizing after washing your face daily. Moisturizing your face can help control sebum production and prevent damage from external factors. Additionally, moisturizing the complexion in the morning and at night can keep skin supple, soft, and well-nourished.

2. Wash your face twice a day
If you are prone to breakouts or have oily skin you should try to wash your face at least twice per day. Every single night, before you go to sleep, you should wash your face. Wash your face again when you get up in the morning. Do not wash your face using hand soap or shampoo! These types of soaps are formulated for a different type of skin, on a different part of your body and are unlikely to help the problem.
3. Get plenty of sleep
A lack of sleep can cause higher levels of stress. Studies have found that a lack of sleep can be tied to acne breakouts. Seven to nine hours of quality sleep each night can help you feel and look better.
4. Use clean makeup brushes
If you wear makeup, make sure to clean your makeup brushes every few weeks to remove any bacteria and old makeup that has built up.
5. Adjust your diet
A diet rich in vitamin C and low in fat and sugar promotes radiant skin. While research on the link between diet and healthy skin is still in its infancy, one study suggests that a low-GI diet may help prevent acne.
6. Drink plenty of water
Most people don’t drink enough water, and dehydration has numerous negative health effects; however, drinking water is also good for keeping skin clear because it helps to flush toxins from the body and increase circulation.
7. Reduce stress
Several studies, including one from 2017 Trusted Source, have shown a connection between stress and acne. If you’re dealing with a stressful event or situation, look for healthy ways to de-stress.
8. Exercise
When you exercise, blood flow increases. This increased blood flow helps nourish your skin cells, as blood carries oxygen and nutrients to your skin cells. Better circulation also helps carry off waste products, including free radicals
Takeaway
When it comes to clear skin, pay attention to what you put on your face — like cleansers, moisturizers, and makeup — and what you don’t — like unwanted bacteria from your fingers or dirty brushes and sponges. People with persistent or severe acne should see a dermatologist to discuss treatment options.
