Skin care is a very broad discipline that encompasses both the physical properties and appearance of the skin on your face and body. If you have unanswered questions about the best way to protect, nourish, and care for your skin, the information in these tips is an excellent starting point.
To enhance your skin’s smoothness consider a face wash with exfoliating beads. The exfoliating beads remove dead skin which is a major contributor to clogged pores and, as a result, blemishes. Apply the face wash when you get up and right before bed. Rubbing the beads as quickly and strongly as you can without hurting yourself is recommended.
Don’t compare yourself to people on television that have perfect skin. Everyday we see people with perfect skin using miracle products that are supposed to give you perfect skin. Instead of believing these celebrities, ask your friends or family what products have worked for them and what the results were.
To help you have the healthiest skin possible, always wash your makeup off before you to go bed. Healthy skin starts with clean skin, and a nightly face-washing routine is step one in the battle against oil, clogged pores, blackheads and blemishes. Once you get into the habit, you will find that it becomes as routine as brushing your teeth.
To protect your skin from sun damage you should always wear sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher when spending time outside, especially between the hours of 10AM and 4PM. Wearing sunscreen protects your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays that can lead to wrinkles, age spots, rough skin, or even skin cancer.
Untanned skin is healthy skin. If you want your skin to stay healthy, please join the growing group of people who know that tans cause skin cancers. Although it used to be a sign of robust good health, we now know that tanning is a direct cause of skin cancers. Consistently wearing high-SPF sunblock, hats, and limiting your time in very sunny situations may be the single most important thing you do to take care of your skin long-term.
Be gentle. You don’t need to scrub your skin with harsh cleansers for it to stay clean and healthy. Instead, use warm – not hot – water and a mild gentle cleanser to wash skin. Use a moisturizing shaving cream and sharp razor when shaving. Dry your skin gently by patting, rather than rubbing, with a towel.
