Getting to know your skin is the ultimate goal. our skin is affected by the foods we eat, what we drink...whether we smoke, exercise or not, the climate we live in and whether we spend too much time inside or outside...our ethnicity and the traits we inherited. Keep in mind that a holistic approach to improving the condition of problem skin may include altering your lifestyle or habits along with proper skin care. Keeping a mental record of the circumstances surrounding a skin breakout, rash or sensitivity can help pin point its cause. Listen to messages your skin sends and change your skin care regimen, diet or others habits accordingly to insure a life of healthy skin.
1. Cleansing your skin morning and night is the most important step in a healthy skin care routine.
Cleansing removes dirt, debris, sweat and oil secretions, and tiny microorganisms that live on our body. Choose a cleanser that is gentle but also effective for your skin type. Feeling waxy, too tight, itchy or a burning sensation is not normal and you may need to change your cleanser.
The way you cleanse is also important. With clean, wet hands, apply cleanser to your fingertips and lightly massage it in small up and outward circular motions--not down and under. Make sure to include the corners of the nose, around the hairline as well as the neck. This will loosen dirt, and make up, stimulate circulation and help reduce facial puffiness. Rinse well with cool water and repeat if needed.
