Having healthy, radiant, and flawless skin can seem difficult, especially with daily stress, pollution, and the multitude of products on the market. However, beautiful skin isn't a matter of luck: it's a matter of routine, balance, and self-awareness.
To help you take care of your skin in a simple and effective way, the Leny Beauty – My Home Spa team has gathered 5 essential tips that will make all the difference in your routine.
1. Know your skin type
Before buying a product or starting a routine, it is essential to know your skin type:
- Normal
- Grasse
- Dry
- Mixed
- Sensitive
Each skin type has specific needs, and knowing yours allows you to:
✔ to choose the right treatments,
✔ to avoid adverse reactions,
✔ to truly improve the appearance of your skin.
If you are unsure, do not hesitate to consult a dermatologist, who can observe your skin's texture, pores, sensitivity, and sebum level.
2. Cleanse your skin daily
Daily cleaning, morning and evening, is essential for:
- eliminate impurities,
- remove the pollution,
- control excess sebum,
- avoid imperfections.
Choose a cleanser suited to your skin type, gentle yet effective, and avoid rubbing too hard: this irritates the skin and can cause redness. Proper cleansing is the foundation of radiant skin.
3. Use sunscreen every day
Sunscreen is the number 1 secret to young, healthy and protected skin.
He warns:
- premature aging,
- brown spots,
- skin laxity,
- and of course, skin cancer.
Some essential rules:
- Choose a minimum SPF 30 protection index (more for fair skin).
- Apply it every day, even when it's cloudy or you're staying indoors.
- Put it on 20 to 30 minutes before exposure.
- Reapply every 2 to 3 hours, especially if sweating or swimming.
Don't forget: lips also need protection. An SPF lip balm is essential.
4. Hydrate your skin – from the outside and from the inside
Hydration is the key to soft, supple, and radiant skin.
Outside
Apply a moisturizing cream morning and evening.
Choose a plan:
- suited to your skin type,
- rich in natural or vegan ingredients,
- capable of nourishing, protecting, and repairing.
Proper hydration prevents dryness, improves skin texture and strengthens the skin barrier.
Inside
Drink plenty of water.
Herbal teas, infusions and kombuchas are also excellent allies.
Remember: beautiful skin also starts in your glass.
5. Take care of your diet
We are what we eat, and our skin is a direct reflection of that.
For healthy skin:
- favor fresh, colorful and nutrient-rich foods,
- Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables,
- include omega-3s (nuts, avocados, oily fish),
- Reduce your intake of refined sugar, which promotes inflammation and acne.
- Avoid excessive consumption of ultra-processed foods.
A good diet provides the vitamins, antioxidants and minerals necessary for skin regeneration.
