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

First things first, when it comes to your skin you basically have to know everything and when I say everything I mean everything about it. Your dermatologist probably knows more about it than anything, after all he/she is a dermatologist. For people who don’t have the time to “get to know their skin”, then you must make time if you want the perfect blemish-free skin you opt for. There must be over thousands of products for different types of skin such as oily, acne-prone, dry, sensitive, and the list goes on. So if you want to waste an abundance of money on different skin care products to find out what skin you’re in (literally), then be my guest. If you’re aiming for spotless skin and you’re a smoker or sunbath-aholic then spotless skin is quite possibly not even an option for you unless you’re willing to ditch the cigarettes and for sunbathers stay out of the sun and slather on some sunblock everyday. You’ve probably already heard this and might I add that it is true, lack of sleep does worsen your skin. It also creates annoying little under-eye bags and purple circles and nobody wants those. While some people cannot go without makeup for even a second, try to wear as little as possible and toss out products that can clog your pores and suffocate the skin such as foundation. Maintaining a healthy diet is also a must in order to attain the spot free skin that everyone prefers.

Here are some steps to help you work your way to getting spot free skin in no time. First, figure out what type of skin you have but never experiment on different products because it will either do one or two things, damage your skin or rob your wallet or both. Second, maintain a healthy lifestyle, this not only helps you reach your goal of getting flawless skin but it also has many other benefits. Try slowly changing to a more fruit and veggie friendly diet and exercising more. Whether it’s a 15 minute walk or three hours at the gym, doesn’t matter, as long as you’re getting exercise in and not just laying around. Getting more sleep is also a plus not only for your skin but also for your heart. Cut the junk food, and ditch the soda. Soda is very damaging to our bodies, we may not know it and we may not care while we’re indulging in a tall glass of Cola but it’ll slowly creep up on us. Probably when we’re glancing in the mirror and notice some pimples or something. Third, go for a more natural look by lessening your daily makeup routine. Remember that less is more and try not to cover your entire face is makeup, because this doesn’t allow your skin to breathe which results in pimples, etc. Fourth, sunblock, while basking in the sun may result in a beautiful tan, it’s actually damaging the skin. We all know the dangers, but we ignore the little side effects, thus leaving us with spotty skin. Fifth, show off your now beautiful skin. Now when people look at you, they not only see someone with radically glowing skin but someone who has a healthy lifestyle. Your skin definitely reflects how healthy you are and who you are, too. So take care of it!

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 and limit them to 5-10 minutes. Glycerin and water based toners can be used to further cleanse the face. Moisturize the skin immediately after cleansing. Some Natural moisturizers that are beneficial for dry skin include Aloe Vera, almond oil and olive oil.

Combination Skin Care

Combination skin takes slightly more work because you are dealing with more than one type of skin. The best way to eliminate too much work in finding a cleanser is by basically finding one which is mild, or for sensitive skin. You may even want to look for cleansers that are specially labeled as combination skin. The key is to avoid soaps that can irritate the skin or block the pores. You can also try a foaming cleanser. Follow up with a toner that contains glycerin and water. Make sure the moisturizer you use contains antioxidants to protect and properly treat the skin.

Sensitive Skin Care

Finding the right products for sensitive skin can be very tedious. Many products contain chemicals that can irritate and cause other skin problem for people with sensitive skin. One of the ways to eliminate this problem is by placing a small amount of the product on a small area of the skin for three days. If nothing happens the product is safe for your skin type. This routine should be used even if a product is labeled for sensitive skin, since the irritation could be caused by allergic reaction to some ingredient it contains. Other things to avoid are over exposure to the sun. Always wear sunscreen that is hypo allergenic or is made for sensitive skin.

There are many other things that can be done to improve the way your skin looks. All it takes is a little work and you can have that ageless skin that you have always dreamed of. No matter what your skin type it can be achieved.
