Tips for Keeping your Complexion Looking Great


As a model, it goes without saying that your main assets are your looks—everything from your face, body, skin, and hair should be kept in great condition, otherwise you’ll be out of work.

Even if you’ve been signed to a modeling agency in Pennsylvania, New York or Los Angeles, you still owe it to yourself to keep skin looking healthy and at its best.
Tips for Keeping your Complexion Looking Great
Here’s a brief list of beauty tips on how to do just that.

Clean Skin is Healthy Skin

One of the keys to having great-looking skin is to have clean skin. To keep those much-dreaded breakouts away, engage in a simple routine of using a gentle facial cleanser after waking up and before going to bed at night—this helps keep skin and clear. Don’t forget to exfoliate your skin with a face scrub at least once a week to remove dull, dead skin cells and bring out a glow to your skin.

Keep Out of the Sun 

A little time out in the sun is good, but too much of it can damage your skin. Ultra violet rays can cause wrinkles, age spots, skin lines like crow’s feet, and premature aging—if you’re really unlucky, even skin cancer.

The best way to mitigate the harmful effects of too much sunlight is to use simple preventive measures, such as wearing a hat, using sunscreen, etc.

Stay Hydrated 

More than half of the human body is made of water and for it to function properly, it needs to stay hydrated. Your organs begin to function poorly when you consume little water, and it shows on your skin as well. The skin, by the way, is your body’s largest organ, so it really pays to stay hydrated.

Eat Healthy

What you eat shows on your skin. If your diet consists mainly of fatty and greasy foods, your skin will show it—it’ll be greasy and dull and marked with acne. Likewise, foods high in salt increase your water retention and give your face a puffy appearance

Conversely, foods high in vitamins, minerals, and nutrients will give your skin a fresh and glowing look. Vitamin C for instance, is a wonder vitamin for your skin.

 Get Enough Sleep

The human body needs at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep to recover and rebuild damaged and dead cells. Failing to get enough rest will show in your face; these signs include dark eye bags, puffy eyes, blood shot eyes, dry skin, and more. Of course, make-up can always hide these things, but nothing beats getting enough sleep.
