How to Care for Your Skin: The Ultimate Guide to Internal & External Skincare

When we talk about skincare, most people immediately think about creams, serums, and cleansers. But true skincare is more than what you put on your skin—it’s also about how you care for your body from the inside out. At Clariv, we believe that combining internal wellness with the right external skincare routine is the key to radiant, healthy skin.

Why Internal Skincare Matters

Your skin is a reflection of your overall health. What you eat, drink, and how you live directly affects your skin’s appearance and function.

• Hydration: Drinking enough water keeps your skin hydrated, plump, and resilient. Aim for at least 8 glasses daily.

• Nutrition: Foods rich in antioxidants (think berries, leafy greens), omega-3 fatty acids (like salmon and walnuts), and vitamins A, C, and E help protect your skin from damage and support collagen production.

• Sleep: Your skin repairs itself while you sleep. Quality rest helps reduce dark circles, inflammation, and promotes cell regeneration.

The External Skincare Essentials

Once your body is nourished from the inside, the next step is protecting and treating your skin externally.

1. Cleanse with Care

Start every routine with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping your skin. Try Clariv’s Gentle Daily Cleanser (internal link)—perfect for maintaining your skin’s natural balance.

2. Treat Targeted Concerns

Use serums containing powerful ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, or hyaluronic acid to brighten, hydrate, and reduce signs of aging. Our Clariv Vitamin C + Niacinamide Serum (internal link) combines these actives for visible results.

3. Moisturize Daily

Moisturizers help lock in hydration and keep your skin barrier healthy. Choose one suited to your skin type from our collection of moisturizers (internal link).

4. Always Use Sunscreen

Sun exposure accelerates aging and can cause skin damage. Make daily SPF protection non-negotiable. Dermatologists recommend broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day. Learn more from the American Academy of Dermatology (external link).

Tips to Make Skincare Part of Your Routine

• Be Consistent: Skin improvements take time. Stick with your routine daily.

• Listen to Your Skin: Adjust your products according to how your skin feels and responds.

• Simplify: A few well-chosen products used regularly beat a cluttered shelf of unused items.
