How many times have you heard people say that good skin takes time and effort? Countless, I’m sure! Whilst a daily regimen will give you amazing results, there are a few easy things you can do that take no time at all. Intrigued? Check out these amazing skin hacks below!

1. Swap Your Face Wash For A Cleansing Oil

When you live in a city filled with grime and pollution, a regular cleanser won’t cut it. Trade your face wash for a cleansing oil, which will reach deep down into your skin to get rid off dirt and makeup, without drying it out.

2. Wipe Smart

The next time you opt for session at your gym, pack a salicylic acid-based wipe in your bag. Although a napkin will sop up most of the sweat, it doesn’t help with the bacteria that causes breakouts.

3. Exfoliate At Night

The best way to de-gunk your complexion is by exfoliation. Rather than spending precious shower time scrubbing away at your face, apply a chemical exfoliant overnight. We guarantee that you will wake up with smoother and clearer skin!

4. Detox Your Device

It’s true – your cellular phone is a breeding ground for pimple-causing, pore-clogging agents. Keep a box of wet wipes handy to sanitize your screen.
