 Hi guys and welcome to my channel. It's Hila here from House of Hila and so today's post I wanted to talk to you about skincare essentials Probably the hard truth that a lot of people don't want to talk about But I just felt like it was so important to make it clear that the basis of my skincare Routine is that I work on the inside. So the first time I visited a dermatologist I was about 19 years old and I'll never forget this I had always believed that I could buy stuff and apply stuff and deal with my acne because I had really terrible teenage acne and The dermatologist basically told me that the truth was it was an inside thing And there wasn't anything that I could do with it by applying astringents and toners and facial washes and scrubs and all of these other stuff that I was putting on my skin She said it was an inside Thing and She prescribed some hormonal therapy for me and it cleared my acne within like literally a week And so I understood that from that moment then on that my Skin the health of my skin has to begin from the inside out I mean, thankfully that was over 20 years ago now. I am not on hormonal therapy anymore I outgrew the acne because for some people acne occurs until your early 20s And then it does clear up eventually and I was lucky that for me It did do but that was a key learning point for me So what I realized was that most of the stuff that you have to do has to start from the inside And then what you do on the outside is a boost to that Okay, so in terms of my own skincare I think that there are three things that you can do easily that don't cost you any money at all that will give you such a Significant improvement to the tone Texture and appearance of your skin. Okay, number one is to eat, right? There is no way around it It's a hard truth to swallow But if you're eating junk food and sugary snacks and all that it is going to show on your skin Whenever I sleep up and I indulge myself in some chocolate or things that have got refined sugar in them It shows you can see it with the bumps and things on my skin So you have to eat right and for the most part Moderation in everything but definitely refined sugar does cause a lot of breakouts and it causes a lot of Issues with skin So definitely cut back on refined sugar if at all possible But you do that honestly within a couple of weeks within a couple of months your skin will begin to look nicer I guarantee you number two Get enough sleep and if you've ever if you ever Listen to people like Jennifer Aniston or Halle Berry or some of these like really, you know People who are considered to be the great standard of beauty they will tell you about the importance of sleep. Okay, no matter how Expensive no matter how Expensive your face cream is or whatever if you're not getting enough sleep Your skin is not getting the time it needs to recover to grow to be healthy and just to be awesome So get enough sleep. All right, and then number three drink water Honestly, just drink water make it a goal to drink at least eight glasses like the pint glasses of water Per day and I dare you to take a before picture and then an after picture of doing that Even just for two weeks and you will see how gorgeous and beautiful your skin is because your skin it needs moisture And if you're dehydrated the skin is the first one of the first places that loses out on the moisture Trying to provide for the other organs Absolutely drink loads of water and I guarantee you these three things They are the twenty percent that give you the eighty percent result that you want with skin if you're not familiar with it There's a concept of the Pareto Principle the Pareto principle which is that twenty percent of the effort of whatever you do is what yields eighty percent of the Results and that is so true with your skin These three things you get them right and then anything else that you put on afterwards your cleansers your toners your whatever They will only boost it taking it from up there to further up there Okay, so three simple things that you can do to get beautiful skin and they're cheap and free Eat right get plenty of decent good night sleep and drink plenty of water Okay, and that's the foundation that you need with that then everything else is just gravy Okay, I really hope that you've enjoyed this video if you did give it a big thumbs up below And if you also found it useful And I will see you next time remember to hit the subscribe button and you'll get notifications when I publish my new Videos every week about skin care beauty regimes and lifestyle for the busy mom Bye
