Take Care Of Your Skin With These Common Sense Tips

By Edie McKeithen


Do you want skin that is not only healthy but also glows and feels soft to the touch? Do you have scars or dry skin that you don't know how to minimize? Using the tips below, you will learn about skin care so you can be on your way to healthy, beautiful skin!

If you are plagued with overly oily skin you should consider using a gel cleanser instead of one that creamy. Creamy cleansers often contain extra moisturizer that you may not need and can make your oily skin problem worse. Make sure that the cleanser is also gentle enough for your skin.

If you have very sensitive skin or if you suffer from a skin disease, such as rosacea or eczema, choose a tinted moisturizer instead of a foundation. A tinted moisturizer will do a decent job of covering up any redness or irritation on your skin, without adding to the problem.

Skin care in the summer includes using light, fruity body washes, sprays and gels. In cold, harsh weather, however, these types of washes can dry out your skin. Instead of having cracked, chapped skin all winter, it is best to use a hydrating, soap free body cream as opposed to gels.

To slow signs of aging, be sure to wear sunscreen daily. Sun damage is a leading cause of premature wrinkles. Using a daily moisturizer that is SPF 15 or higher can protect your skin and keep you looking youthful for longer. Even if your face is already developing wrinkles, sunscreen can help slow the aging process.

Do your best not to touch your face too much. Touching your face with your hands can transfer oil from your hands to your face and clog your pores, which would result in acne. If you must touch your face make sure to wash your hands thoroughly before that.

If you have oily skin, avoid over-drying it out with harsh alcohol-based toners, cleansers, and washes. Drying oily skin actually causes the body to produce MORE oil, which makes the problem even more noticeable. Instead, use a hydrating oil-free moisturizer, which will leave your skin supple and hydrated but not oily.

If you apply makeup often, make sure that you wash your brushes at least once a week. Oil and dead skin can get caught in these brushes, as you do not want this to be transferred to your skin on a daily basis. Take this into consideration to maximize the health of your skin.

Now that you are more familiar with some effective ways to treat, care for, and protect your skin, you are one step closer to a more healthy and youthful appearance. The advice in this article will undoubtedly leave you with skin that is improved in its appearance, texture, tone, and vitality.
