Skincare forms a core component of the modelling profession, one which requires due thought & energy. Suitable skin care practice helps models put their best foot forward in the industry & showcase their calibre without any inhibitions holding back. Herein I'll share some such skincare rituals to follow as a model to be well prepared for shoots & potential opportunities. I advise you to use the mentioned products according to your skin type, tolerability & desire, after performing a patch test.
Wash your face & neck thoroughly. This aids in the removal of oil, dirt & impurities while preparing your skin for products to absorb well and act effectively. According to your skin type and tolerability, choose a good cleanser(Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser) for the purpose. Avoid irritating your skin with harsh scrubbing when cleansing and gently pat your skin dry with a towel after washing. Healthy practices that we make a part of our lifestyle has numerous benefits for us - mentally & physically. Aim to incorporate and follow some such habits that help you to grow & glow naturally.
Physical activity increases our blood flow and oxygen supply to the working cells of our body as it nourishes us both internally and externally, giving us a natural glow and a healthy body.
Sleep heavily influences the repair process, responsible for a flawless & refreshing look. The skin makes new collagen when you sleep. More collagen translates into the skin being plumper and less likely to wrinkle or sag.
Often we all have heard the following advice from people around us & we generally choose to overlook them. But remember, we need to make some clean choices for clear skin. Hence these points come into our consideration :
- Avoid touching your face too often
Why? Because face touching can aggravate the presence of skin oil and lead to clogging of pores which can lead to an outbreak of acne. Try to reduce the frequency that any object touches your face and if something does need to touch your face, make sure that it is clean.
Why? Because the pimple is keeping the bacteria contained. When you puncture its outer skin, the gunk oozes out. Now, this can either cause bacteria in that gunk to splatter and land inside other pores or may force the debris and bacteria even deeper into your skin, leading to more red, inflamed, swollen and infected pimples followed by permanent scarring.
Why? Because toxins in cigarette smoke damage collagen and elastin while alcohol speeds up collagen loss. These are the fibrous components of your skin that keep it firm and supple. Without them, your skin can become hardened and less elastic, leading to deeper wrinkles and premature ageing.
Following the five-step mantra would help you achieve the best potential of your skin and enhance your natural beauty while allowing you to prepare your skin & yourself as a professional model along the way.
