Clean, moisturize, and protect
These are the basics of any beauty routine. Use a gentle cleanser even if your skin is oily, you do not need to dry out your skin.
The moisturizer has to be for your skin type. The most important thing is to always use it at least once a day depending on the place you live and your skin type.
Protect
Use sun protection all the time. Dermatologists recommend using it even during winter and on cloudy days – the damaging radiation is always there.
Problem solvers
Large pores, dull skin
Exfoliate. This will help to revitalize dull skin and your pores will look smaller. You can use traditional exfoliation products, do a home mask, or use the new systems such as peelings with glycolic acid or
microdermabrasion.
Exfoliation will also help make your skin healthier. Even if your skin is perfect, still you need exfoliation at least once a week. A simple and effective exfoliation is a mask of oatmeal, yogurt and a few drops of honey. Leave it for 10 minutes on your skin, rinse it off and you will see and feel the difference.
Treat it
If you have a skin condition such as acne or rosacea, treat it. You may need to consult a dermatologist, but also do your own research. Some health insurance programs do not cover these expenses and the prescription versions of some medications are more expensive. Some version of prescription medications have over the counter similar or less strength products do example some acne medicines with benzoic peroxide or salicylic acid.
Dark spots
Dark spots are a common problem especially among women with darker skin tones. It is very important to use sun protection every day to avoid more and while treating existing ones. There are many treatments from over-the-counter creams to laser.
Good skin starts with good health.
Healthy nutrition shows on your skin. Stress and sadness are beauty killers too. The old saying that, “beauty is from within” is true.
