Clear, glowing skin—who doesn’t want it? While beauty comes in all forms (and yes, you already shine in your own way!), there’s no denying that breakouts, acne, and dullness can be frustrating. Skincare is more than skin-deep—it's an act of self-love and self-care that leaves you feeling your best.
If you have been looking for simple and effective means of attaining clear skin, you are in the right place. From daily routines to skincare must-haves, here are some tips to lead you on your journey to healthier, happier skin.
Let’s get started!
10 Simple Tips To Keep Your Skin Clear & Glowing
1. Always Wash Your Face!
Your skin goes through a lot—oil, sweat, dirt, and pollution. The least you can do? Wash your face! Twice a day is a must—once in the morning and before bed. But don’t just splash water and call it a day—use a gentle cleanser (one that's appropriate for your skin type, not just whatever’s lying around). Don't use harsh soap or over-cleanse, as it'll strip away your skin's natural moisture. Always dry-blot your face with a clean towel for healthier skin!
2. Keep Your Hands Off Your Face
Your hands are always in motion—grasping, scrolling, typing, and touching who knows what. And with each touch to your face, they carry along grime, oil, and germs, resulting in clogged pores and blemishes. The golden rule? Hands off your face! Unless you’re cleansing or applying skincare (with clean hands, of course), keep touching to an absolute minimum.
3. Remove Your Makeup ASAP
Long day? Exhausted? Bedtime calling? Not quite. Sleeping in makeup is a one-way trip to clogged pores, acne, and dull skin. So be sure to remove all your makeup the minute you get home. Use a quality makeup remover or micellar water, followed by a gentle cleanser, then rinse well.
4. Don’t Pop Pimples!
As tempting as it is, popping a pimple does more harm than good. It pushes bacteria deeper into the skin, leading to additional swelling, redness, and even scarring.
Instead, use a spot treatment or topical antibiotic cream and allow it to heal on its own. If it is a recurring pimple, seek the help of a dermatologist for personalised care.
5. Read The Product Label Before You Buy!
Not all skincare products are made for your skin type. Always read the product description and ingredient list before you incorporate it into your routine. Watch out for possible allergens or irritants and make sure that it is suitable for your skin's needs.
Bonus Tip: Read reviews! Everyone’s skin is different, but real-life experience can give you a fairly good idea of what to expect. Better safe than sorry!
6. Never Skip Moisturiser
Regardless of what your skin type is—oily, dry, or combination—moisturising is a must. It helps maintain hydration, strengthens your skin barrier, and wards off premature aging. Choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser if you have oily skin, or a slightly richer one if you have dry skin. And yes, even acne-prone skin needs moisture! Hydrated skin is happy skin.
7. Sunscreen Is A Must
Sun exposure is perhaps the biggest cause of premature aging, sunspots, and skin damage. The fix? Sunscreen!
Slather on a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every morning (yes, even on cloudy days). Apply it 30 minutes before venturing outdoors and reapply every 2 hours while in the sun. Your skin will thank you for it!
8. Hydrate
Glowing clear skin starts from within! When your body lacks water, your skin is the first to show it—dryness, dullness, and that tired look. Sip on H2O throughout the day to keep your skin plump, fresh, and happy (at least 8-10 glasses).
Bonus: It helps flush out toxins, keeping breakouts at bay and your glow intact!
9. Eat Healthy
Your diet mirrors your skin! A balanced combination of greens, fruits, and lean protein provides your skin with the nutrients it requires to remain healthy and glowing. Anti-inflammatory foods that are antioxidant-rich such as berries, nuts, and greens fight inflammation, and omega-3 fatty acids (such as salmon and walnuts)) hydrate and soften your skin.
And if breakouts are a concern, keep an eye on dairy and processed foods. Research reveals that eating dairy and processed foods can trigger more breakouts.
10. Reduce Stress
Your skin and stress? They’re more connected than you think! Stress induces inflammation that can lead to breakouts, dullness, and flare-ups. Moreover, research has shown that emotional stress can contribute to acne.
The fix? Self-care, first! Try stress-reducing activities like meditation & deep breathing, exercise and yoga that may help to ease stress.
These were the fundamentals of glowing, clear skin. But every skin type requires special care. Here's how to modify your routine while following the essentials.

Pregnancy & Skincare-What You Need To Know
Getting clear skin is all about the proper habits and good skincare choices. But when you're pregnant, it's not just about what is effective—it's about what is safe. A number of ingredients found in popular skincare products, such as retinoids, salicylic acid, and some essential oils, are unsafe for pregnant women because they can impact both you and your baby.
Therefore, if you are pregnant and have acne due to hormonal imbalance, you must choose skincare products with gentle and natural ingredients. And the best part is, we have the one for you!

The Takeaway
Clear skin begins with the choices you make—what you apply to your skin, what you consume, and how you care for your skin each day. By making the right choices and following easy skincare routines, you can achieve that healthy glow. Just be consistent and kind to your skin to let it glow the way it's meant to!
