We all want the even-toned, clear skin that is easy to maintain. However, not all of us were lucky enough to get “normal” skin from the get-go. Sometimes it feels like skincare routines take a lot of effort and products to get our skin where we want it to be. But, it doesn’t always need to be like that. In today’s blog post, I will touch on 5 easy everyday beauty hacks you can start doing now for better skin!
Use Lukewarm Water
The best “free” thing you can do is to stop using hot water on your face and body. This unnecessarily dries out the skin and can cause inflammation. Using lukewarm water is probably the easiest beauty hack you can start doing for better skin, and trust me, you will see a difference. The gentler temperature will help keep your skin barrier intact and reduce the redness, number of acne spots, dry patches, and flakiness you might have. Bonus: Pat dry your skin with a towel, don’t rub!
Moisturize as Soon as Possible
Letting your skin dry out after washing it is probably one of the worst things you can do for your skin. Leaving your skin dehydrated and tight leaves you prone to flakiness, wrinkles, and even more acne. In this beauty hack, try to prioritize doing your skincare routine as soon as you get out of the shower or wash your face. This way your skin gets all the nutrients it needs without drying out.

Invest in Hypochlorous Acid
Hypochlorous Acid is one of those cheap ingredients that can do wonders for your skin. It can help your skin fight common bacterial issues like acne, eczema, and psoriasis because it disinfects the skin and speeds up your skin’s natural healing process. This ingredient can also calm and soothe the skin. For this beauty hack, try spraying hypochlorous acid on your face before you do the rest of your skincare routine for some easy added benefits.
Extend Skincare to the Neck
Our face is not the only place that can show signs of aging and sun damage. Extend your product application down your neck to get the most out of your skincare products. Even more than our face, our neck is susceptible to sun damage and dryness. So do yourself a favor, and use this beauty hack by just taking just a bit more product and applying it to your neck as well.
Wash Your Face Last
This beauty hack pertains to your shower routine. Many people tend to wash their face as the first step in their shower routine. However, by the time you finish your routine, your face probably has residue from all the other products you used from conditioner to body wash. Try to make it a habit to wash your face as the last step in your shower routine to make sure your pores are clean.

Bonus: Mix Your Face Lotion and Foundation
I’ll keep this beauty hack quick, but try mixing a pump of your foundation with your moisturizer. You’ll still get great coverage but your skin will be more hydrated and smooth. Plus, it’ll stretch out the number of uses you get with your foundation and leave you with a more skin-like finish.
