Improves Discipline 

Having a skincare routine is one of the best ways to improve your discipline because to achieve the clear skin you need to be following the basics of skincare every single day.

Identify Your Skin Type

You cannot go into a store and buy any products and hope that work, everyone has different skin types and different products that work for them. So you need to find out about your skin type. 

Oily

Oily skin appears greasy and shiny, especially on the nose and forehead

Dry

Guys with dry skin have flaky rough skin

Normal  

Now we have normal skin which is in between dry and oily

Sensitive

Next up we have sensitive skin which means you feel irritated after using some products or even eating some food.

Combination

Combination of both oily and dry skin.  Oily at forehead and nose, dry at cheeks and side of the nose.

4 Basics Steps To Get a Clear Skin

How To Get Clear Skin For Teenage Guys

Face Wash

Let’s start with a simple step of washing your face. Your face is filled with dust, dirt, and germs, Washing your face removes all of those. 

You need to wash twice a day – once in the morning and once in the evening.

Moisturizer

After wash fash you need to apply moisturizer, this process helps your skin to glow and stay hydrated throughout the day. Apply this after washing your face twice a day. 

Exfoliate

next, you need to exfoliate your skin once every week. Exfoliating your skin removes dead cells from your skin which result in healthy-looking skin.

Sunscreen 

Sunlight can cause permanent damage, scars, or even skin cancer. Applying sunscreen every time you leave your home will make sure your skin is protected. 

There are two types SPF 15 and SPF 30, SPF 30 will protect your skin more than SPF 15.

6 Extra Hacks To Get a Clear Skin

Tinted Moisturizer

Many celebrities use tinted moisturizers. Unlike normal moisturizers, this one contains a slight color that evens out your skin tone to hide scars, sun damage, or any other marks.

Face Mask 

The face mask is a great way to improve blood circulation, from darker tired skin to refreshed clear skin – that’s what a face mask does. 

You need to apply once every 2 weeks or once a month. Just put on a face mask, relax for 15 minutes and remove it.

Eye Patches  

Eye patches are the best way to combat dark circles, making your under eyes look refreshed and clear. 

Use them daily in the morning and at night to get the best results.

Wear Sunglass

Sunglasses protect your eyes from sun damage, + make you look cool, So whenever you go out apply sunscreen and put on sunglass.

Take Care Of Lips and Neck 

Many people while they do their skincare forget their necks and lips. 

Make sure you wash your neck, moisturize and exfoliate because the last thing you want is wrinkles all over your neck

For lips apply lip balm to avoid dry flaky lips.

Use Rotating Brush

Rotating brush removes dirt and dust from your face easily compared to your hands. so if you have extra bucks after getting a skincare routine invest in this. 

This works best during exfoliating.

Few Natural Things To Do

Drink Water 

Drinking water flushes out all the toxins from your body resulting in clear and healthy skin. 

Not only that you can also reduce pimples, acne, and wrinkles just by drinking water. 

Make sure to keep a bottle of water near you always.

Healthy Diet 

You are what you eat, following a healthy diet improves your body and skin. 

A healthy diet reduces acne breaks out and pimples

Leafy greens, sweet potato, spinach, blueberries, and vegetables, in general, help you to achieve clear skin. ( There are many other fruits and vegetables that improve your skin which I mentioned in my article skin-care do’s and don’ts, you can find that here)

Avoid Diary Products

foods like chocolates, cheese, and even junk food have a huge impact on your skin, For me whenever I eat cheese the next day im getting a pimple.

Im not saying you should stop eating for a lifetime, simply reduce your intake and switch to a healthy diet.

8 Mistakes You Need To Avoid

Popping Pimples

Yes, I know you want to pop that pimple but popping a pimple will make your skin look worse, Instead apply ice and let it go.

Touching Your Face

Your hands are covered with dust and dirt from all over the place that you have been. Touching your face leads to acne breakouts, pimples, and many other skin diseases so avoid doing that

Not Cleaning Phonecase

Just like your hand your phone also contains bacteria which can cause pimples and acne so make sure you clean your phone case every once in a while.

Not Changing Pillow Cases

Again pillow case covered with dirt and dust can cause pimples and acne breakouts, you need to change your pillowcases every week. 

Doing Skincare Routine Right Before Bed 

Doing a skincare routine just before bed is another mistake because it will not give time to your skin to let the product sit in and take its full benefit. 

somewhere between 15 to 30 minutes before bed is a good time

Over Washing

Constantly washing can cause acne breakouts irritation and dry skin 

instead you need to wash only 2 times a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.

 If you’re into gym or sports you can also wash after your game or gym section

Washing With Soap

Soap is for your body not for your skin using soap leads to skin irritation, pimples, dryness, and acne breakouts. so you need to use a product that is specifically made for the skin

Using Hot Water

Using hot water on your skin can cause dryness itch and skin damage. Luke warm water is best.

Without This 1 Habit, You Can’t Get Clear Skin

Consistency – You can have all the products and follow all the steps mentioned but without a consistent skincare routine, you won’t achieve clear skin. 

face wash, moisturizer, exfoliate and apply sunscreen – follow at least the basics.

Washing your face today and then washing it after 2 days won’t give any results make sure you do it every single day.
