Before 2026 hits, here’s how to care for your skin, the simple, effective way.
Healthy skin isn’t about complicated routines or chasing every trending product. Often, the smallest habits have the biggest impact. Here’s what Dr. Boakye recommends to make your skin happier, healthier, and glowing:
Q: What should I swap my bar soap for?
A: Harsh soaps can strip your skin of natural oils. Choose a gentle, hydrating cleanser instead.
Q: How many cups of coffee are recommended per day for the best skin?
A: Less than three cups a day is ideal. Too much caffeine can affect hydration and sleep, both of which are important for healthy, radiant skin.
Q: How do I know what supplements to take?
A: Always check with your doctor first. Vitamins and minerals can support your skin from the inside out, but personalized guidance ensures you’re giving your skin what it truly needs.
Q: How long does it take to heal from a skin breakout?
A: Healing naturally is usually the most effective approach. Be patient and let your skin recover and strengthen — over-treating can sometimes make breakouts worse.
Q: What types of food are the most healthy for skin?
A: Focus on protein and fiber. Protein-rich foods support skin elasticity and repair, while fiber helps your body process nutrients efficiently. Together, they help promote a healthy, natural glow.
Q: Are TikTok skincare trends safe?
A: Not all trends are science-backed. Stick to tips that are safe, effective, and supported by dermatology research.
Skincare is not about perfection - it’s about care, consistency, and making choices that support your skin’s health. These six habits are easy to start today, and you’ll see the difference before the new year.
