Unless you are one of the lucky ones, you probably dream of waking up with flawless, clear skin.

The following tips will help steer you in the right direction:

Don’t excessively clean

Cleansing your skin too much will cause you to unintentionally strip it of its natural oils, causing it to dry out.

Don’t exfoliate too often

Exfoliation is great for removing dead skin cells but if you over-do it you can strip away the new layer.

Wash your hands before cleaning your face

Your hands carry a multitude of bacteria so make sure you wash them before putting them on your face, otherwise you end up transferring them onto your face.

Stick with a cleanser

Face wipes are handy when you are out and about but make sure you use a proper cleanser in the morning and at night.

Always use a moisturiser

Everyone should moisturise after cleansing, even if you have oily skin. If you don’t moisturise, your skin will produce excessive oils to hydrate it which results in an oily face.
