Stress, lack of sleep, and the foods we eat can cause the skin to age prematurely and break out. Not only is it important to take care of the skin on the outside but it is also essential to pay attention to what we take into our bodies. What we take into the body can affect the appearance of the skin. What can be done to prevent aging of the skin, how can premature aging and skin problems such as acne be improved?

There are many solutions for skin care in the market so it can be difficult to know what will work and what won’t. However there are some things to consider that can help in your choice of skin care products.

The first thing to consider is your skin type. There are usually four skin types: oily, dry, combination, and sensitive. This aspect of skincare is important to consider because not all products will work for certain skin types.

What is your skin type? Here are some indicators:

Oily Skin

1. Your skin becomes oily by noon even after washing it in the morning.

2. You consistently produce adult acne or other break outs. 3. Your pores are bigger and noticeable all over your face.

3. Skin is oily all year round.

Dry Skin

1. Your skin entirely dry.

2. You observe fine small lines when you look at yourself.

3. Your skin is flaky in the winter.

4. Soap causes the skin to be extremely dry.

5. Pores are barely visible.

Combination Skin

1. Skin is greasy in the T- zone, forehead, nose, and chin spots but a little dry on the cheeks.

2. Your pores are large around the nose parts but normal everywhere else.

3. Skin is dry in the winter and oily in the summer.

Sensitive Skin

1. Facial soap irritates your skin.

2. Some types of skincare products cause your skin to break out in rashes.

3. Your skin produces spotty or reddish breakouts.

What Works for Your Skin Type

Oily Skin Care

People with oily skin should look for cleansers that contain alpha and beta hydroxy acid to cleanse and unplug dirt in the skins pores. The cleanser should not be harsh or irritating. A mild skin tone bar or refining gel is best. Always use a mild toner preferably one that contains water and glycerin. Moisturizers should contain antioxidants to protect the skin.

Dry Skin Care

Those who have dry skin should choose products specially made for dry skin. Creamy cleansers that are mild and will not leave residue are best in the winter. Otherwise, use cleansing gels. (For warmer seasons) In addition avoid hot baths or showers

Staying beautiful is an art of self care. A healthy glowing skin will always look beautiful than a face caked with make-up. Therefore, if you are not following a skin care regime right now, you need to start at the earliest possible time. Moving on, let’s discuss how we all can stay beautiful all day long.

Skin care

Skin care includes cleansing, toning, moisturizing at the very least. Also, scrubbing, hydrating, acne care, revitalizing and applying mask should also be included on a weekly or fortnight basis. This helps to nourish your skin and to clear away problems that could otherwise make you look older than you already are. A good skin care regime will ensure that your pores are tight and your skin flawless. If your skin is already damaged by the acne breakout or other conditions, you can use make-up, on top of your skin care to ensure that you look beautiful all day long.

Make-up

Make up is an invention that changed the life of many. It has the ability to hide flaws and make your face look smooth and flawless. In turn, it builds confidence that makes the person even more attractive. However, you must know how to use make-up to your advantage. Otherwise, you would end up with a mess than a beautiful face.

Always prepare you face before you start with your make-up. If your face is naturally oily, you will need to apply an oil control lotion or cream to control the sebum production. Otherwise, by mid-day, your make-up would be shiny and might even run. Similarly, if you have dry or flaky skin, ensure that you use sufficient moisturizer before you apply your make-up.

Make up products use elements that could be irritating to some skin. Hence, it is always best to test the product before you buy. My vote will always go to mineral make-up. Mineral makeup is light weight and would hide the pores more evenly and does not cake your face. Moreover, it is easier and convenient to re-apply than liquid or heavy foundation. Some simple make up tips will ensure that your make up could last for the entire day.

1) Layer

Layering helps to build coverage. This helps to ensure that your flaws are not visible once you are out in the sun or when you are perspiring.

2) Work from the outside

It is best to start your make up from the corner and work inside. This prevents your makeup from looking caked or more obvious at the centre and less at the side.

3) Apply downwards

Always apply your makeup in downward motion. Otherwise, your makeup would clog your pores. This could lead to more skin problems than you already have.

4) Re-apply

We can never say that the make-up would last forever. Therefore, if you have to reapply, you have to reapply. Touching up make-up, especially if you are perspiring a lot or if the weather is hot and humid, would ensure that you look beautiful all day long.

Exercise

Exercise has this unique ability to give you the glow necessary for your age. This glow would enhance your skin care as well as your make up. Since your blood circulation level would be good if you exercise, you skin would be much healthier making you look naturally beautiful.

Avoid oily food

Avoid any food or diet that gives you problem skin. This could be chocolate or fried chicken.

On the whole, looking beautiful all day long is possible for all. All you need is to take care of your skin and body and cover up the natural flaws with simple make-up techniques.

The skin is the body’s largest organ. And because it’s on the outside of your body for everyone to see, you want it to not only be healthy, but to look great as well. Women of any age want skin that is clear, smooth and radiant. However, the biggest mistake I see women make when it comes to their skin is failure to customize their skin-care routines. Your skin-care routine needs to change and adapt according to the season, your age and your lifestyle. Also, what works for your friend or your sister won’t necessary work well for you when it comes to your skin.

That said, customizing a skin-care routine doesn’t require a lot of time and effort. With just a few easy steps you can create a routine that works for you and simply tweak it over time as your lifestyle or skin-care needs change.

1. Consult a professional. If possible, the best way to start is with a visit to a dermatologist, especially if you feel that you have particularly problematic skin (ex: acne, sun damage, unusual dryness or other skin conditions). Not everyone can afford this step, but keep in mind that the visit may be covered by your insurance plan. Explain your skin care concerns to your dermatologist and ask for product recommendations. They can help get you on track to customizing a routine and can help you narrow down your focus when it comes to product so that you don’t waste your hard-earned money on products that aren’t right for you.

2. Start with the basics. Wash your face every morning when you wake up and again before you go to bed. Never, under any circumstances go to bed without removing your makeup. Clogged pores will lead to unsightly blemishes. Eat well, exercise and get plenty of rest. What you put into your body will show in your complexion, so make sure to drink lots of water (to flush out toxins and hydrate) and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Stay away from cigarettes; they cause premature aging of the skin. If you do one thing for your skin each day (besides your daily cleansing), apply a sunscreen each morning (don’t forget to cover your neck as well), to avoid premature wrinkles, sunspots and skin cancer risks.

3. Customize a skin-care routine. Now that you’ve consulted with a professional and are taking care of your body from the inside out, it’s time to create a routine that will optimize all of your healthy habits. While everyone is different, most people benefit from a gentle cleanser (Cetaphil or Purpose come highly recommended by most dermatologists), a pore-cleansing toner (I prefer SeaBreeze for sensitive skin) and a good moisturizer (again I prefer Purpose, which also has added sunscreen).

I beef up my daily routine according to the season and my skin care needs. During the winter, when my skin gets dry, I like to use a moisturizing mask once a week. During the summer, when my pores tend to get clogged with dirt and sweat, I will add a once-a-week exfoliator or deep-cleansing mask. I also like to use Biore pores strips about once a week for blackheads on my nose and chin. Unfortunately, I am at that in-between age where I still need to worry about breakouts and blemishes, but am beginning to see the early signs of aging (no doubt accelerated by my frequent visits to tanning salons in my youth).

As you can see, taking care of your skin doesn’t have to be a huge commitment of your time or your money. If you take a little time to set up a routine, it will become a healthy habit that your skin will thank you for. Once you’ve taken the time to find out what works for you, making small changes here and there will be a breeze.
