Know Your Skin Type
One the easiest and simplest ways to have an amazing beauty routine is by knowing what kind of skin you have. This will help you choose the best products to use and what will work well for your skin type. So to help you out, here’s a simple cheat sheet:
- Dry skin – scaly, flaky, or rough.
- Oily skin – greasy, shiny, and may have large pores.
- Combination skin – dry in a few spots (e.g. cheeks) but oily in other spots (e.g. nose, forehead, and chin—this area is often called the “T Zone”).
- Sensitive skin – may itch, burn or sting after the use of certain makeup or similar products.
- Normal skin – balanced, clear, and not sensitive.
Moisturize Your Face
After cleaning your face, apply some moisturizer to help hydrate your skin. This will create a protective layer of moisture and keep your skin smooth and fresh. I’d also suggest looking for face moisturizers that have anti-aging properties and are lightweight and oil-free, so it won’t block your pores.
Exfoliate a Few Times a Week
Depending on your skin type, you might want to exfoliate every-other-day or once a week. This will make your skin glowing and may even help to prevent wrinkles.
Put on Sunscreen
Your moisturizer may already have sunscreen in it, but it’s still a great idea to use it as a separate application. This will prevent the sun’s UV rays from damaging your skin and even creating breakouts. Wear it every day, even if it’s not sunny and cold, and keep your face protected.
Treat Your Acne
Acne and breakouts can leave permanent scars on your face. So to easily improve your skin, try to make some simple changes to your daily routine and be patient. Sometimes it’s the small changes that can lead to bigger possibilities.
Eat Healthy Foods
Your skin reflects what you eat. Whatever you consume, directly affects your skin, so it really does make sense to eat healthy. So why not eat more fruit and veggies, they’re rich in nutrients and vitamins that can help make your skin healthy and glowing. Also, whenever possible, drink more water since it helps hydrate your skin. By simply applying this tip, your skin will look amazing.
Get a Full 8 Hours
Not only great for your body, sleep can also benefit your skin. If you get full 8 hours of sleep, you’ll avoid dark circles, fine lines, dull skin, and other side effects of sleepless nights.
From removing your makeup to cleansing your skin, these tips and tricks from the list above have definitely got you covered.

Chasing Foxes was started in 2016 as a way for Grace and her husband, Silas, to start traveling. However, they started to realize that they had a passion for improving themselves, and wanted to help others level up their lives as well. So whether it's with cooking, travel, or staying healthy, they want to help you better your life bit by bit, as they do the same.
These are great tips! I used to struggle to get my night time skin care done because I’d often be so tired at night…so I started doing it shortly after dinner instead of waiting until just before bed. I also began thinking of it as a “mini spa facial” that I GOT TO DO. That flip in perspective made it seem like a treat and so now I do it!
