In today’s fast-paced society, it’s easy to forget basic beauty regimens to have you looking your very best. Whether avoiding bar soap for you face or drinking more water, we’ve covered 15 basic beauty tips that every girl (and men too) should abide by.

1. Always moisturize. Use a moisturizer with SPF during the day and a night cream in the evening.
2. Wear sunglasses. They protect your eyes and prevents you from squinting, which can lead to crow’s feet
3. Exfoliate your skin 2-3 times a week to remove dead skin cells. Apply lotion afterward.
4. For clear skin, look for a cleanser with salycilic acid.
5. Wash your face before bed, even if you’re tired!
6. Do not use bar soap on your face
7. To make a zit go away faster, don’t pick at it. The bacteria on your fingers will create more redness.
8. If you have greasy hair, avoid directly conditioning roots. Condition from your ear down to the ends.
9. Try to avoid washing your hair every day. Constant shampooing leaves hair dry and your scalp will create more oils to compensate for the loss of moisture.
10. During the summer, wear chap stick or lip gloss with SPF.
11. Don’t overdo it on the makeup, it clogs your pores
12. Drink a lot of water to keep your skin and body well-hydrated.
13. Get a good eye cream to prevent dark circles
14. Get 8 hours of sleep every night.
15. Smile often. Laugh lines are the best wrinkles you can have!
