3. Put on an Adequate Amount of Eye Cream

To make sure you're choosing the right eye cream, choose the one that will show you and make you feel the changes in your skin in just seconds, whether you're applying it along with your makeup or on its own.

4. Regularly Apply Moisturizer

Moisturizing cream helps with wrinkles, lines, and spots. Even if you apply just once every day, it will leave your skin well nourished, firmer-looking, and it keeps you moisturized for a maximum of 48 hours.

Before you apply moisturizer, make sure to cleanse your skin first. All-day, dirt, oil, and dead skin, among others, can build up on the surface of the skin.

If you allow your skin to get all these every day, you don't just allow your pores to clog, but you develop blemishes too. As a result, your skin then slowly starts losing its youthful glow.

Cleanse two times each day to ensure your pores stay clean and eliminate any pollutants that can build up.

5. Pamper Your Feet with a Massage Before Going to Bed

Don't we all love it even if it's just a quick massage for our feet once in bed? It indeed feels so good, and foot massage helps get that much-needed sleep.

You will find some thick, rich creams formulated just for feet. They are made with moisturizing shea butter and avocado oil, among other ingredients.

These creams are also packed with botanicals like tea tree oil and distilled myrtle to prevent unpleasant odors. The cream does not just smell good in floral scent. It gets the roughest and driest skin smooth, as well.
