Skin Care Routine

Establish your skin type

There are a number of skin care lines, from the expensive to the economical, that can help you care for your skin, but you have to be able to define your problems in that area. For instance, if you are prone to break outs due to oily skin, you will need a product that reduces oil. Likewise, people who suffer from excessive dryness need to find skin care products with moisturizers that nourish and replenish essential oils.

Combination skin, a condition where the face can be both oily and dry, can be the hardest skin problem to combat. There are a number of products that can help; do your homework prior to any purchase to find what will work best for you.

Skin care products

There are plenty of mainstream skin care lines available, but you may want to look into organic goods for your face. All natural products tend to be vegan based and hypo-allergenic.

No matter the skin type, most people will need a cleanser, toner, and exfoliant (a cream or lotion that gets rid of dead skin cells). People with acne may use products like on the spot reducers with saylic acid or benzol peroxide in conjunction with these items.

You would start with the cleanser, followed by the exfoliant and moisturizer daily. Some people finish with a SPF based cream to protect the skin from the harsh rays of the sun.

You can find skin care lines online but if you are uncertain of what to but, it may be best to go to a drug store and ask the pharmacist what brands to try.

Turning back the clock

If the prevention or minimization of wrinkles is a concern, an anti-aging regimen may be the ticket.
There are many skin and beauty items that contain tried and true substances like collagen and elastin that can help rebuild skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines, leading to a more youthful appearance.
However, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If you really want to return the glow of youth to your face, you need to observe your diet, drink water, exercise and reduce sun exposure.
