5 Must-Do’s For Your Skincare Routine

Clean skin is glowing skin. One component of the skincare routine most people don’t think about is making sure that you’re being as hygienic as possible. From head to toe, here’s how to makesure you’re staying as squeaky clean as possible.

1. Check Your Expiration Dates

When do you throw your favorite products away? You may be thinking that’s an easy question, never or as soon as they run out. Unfortunately, some skincare, beauty, and makeup products have frequent expiration dates that should be kept in mind. For example, the shelf life of most mascara products is only 3 months. Even if it’s still up and running, it’s not worth risking the possible infection. Toss it and replace it to look and feel as fresh as you can.

2. Make Sure Your Bathroom Has Ventilation

Do you love relaxing after a long day in a hot steamy shower, or lathering up in a nice warm bath? Us too. One thing that’s important to consider is the ventilation aspect of your bathroom, or how much airflow is flowing in and out during your cleansing routine. This will help preventmold or even just soapy buildup from creating in your bathroom. So next time you’re relaxing for the day, pop open a window after your shower or keep the fan running to maintain your bathroom oasis.

3. Ditch the Loofah

You heard it here first: your loofah is not getting you as clean as you think. Since loofahs have lots of small crevices, bacteria can build up quickly and lead to a mold issue. Imagine cleaning your body with something that has mold built in. It’s recommended to replace your loofah every 4 to 6 weeks, which can get costly. It’s time: let go of your loofah and embrace the LUV SCRUB, which lasts up to 18 months, making it the more sustainable option.

4. Wash Your Linens Once a Week

One of the easiest ways to keep your skin fresh and glowing is to wash your linens once a week. From your pillowcase that you lay down on every night to your towel that you pat yourself dry with, nothing in your space touches your skin more. By keeping these fresh and clean, you ensure your skin won’t have any clogged pores from dirt buildup.

5. Try Steam In Your Skincare To Open Pores

We love a spa day to unwind and relax, but unfortunately, we can’t make it there weekly. That’s why we love incorporating key elements of a facial into our skincare routine. A facial steamer set on low can help open up your pores, so they will help absorb your skincare products better and get a deeper clean. You can also try using the steam from your shower before you wash your face for a relaxing effect.

At the end of the day, there’s nothing that feels better than a deep clean on every inch of you.

With these tips, you’ll have your best glowing skin yet.
