We all want a youthful-looking skin.
Cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing are the practices you might want to
consider.
Using an SPF 30 sunblock before
going outdoors will complete the 4 step- skin regimen.
Cleansing
The most important thing to remember
is having a gentle and effective facial cleanser handy.
Know your skin type. Do you have
oily skin or a dry one?
Facial cleansers vary according to
the needs of your skin.
You can get the best facial cleansers
from a drugstore or in the grocery. Using bar soaps may result in skin dryness.
A skin specialist even said that soap must not touch your skin from neck up.
A creamy cleanser is good for dry
skin while clear ones are for the oily type.
However, do not wash your face too
frequently which may lead to dryness.
It is important that you wash your
face to remove makeup and powder before you sleep at night.
Today, some facial cleansers do not
need water. Simply wipe the cream off using a tissue paper or clean cloth.
However, you may prefer the water method over this.
Exfoliation
This is a weekly routine you must
not skip.
Proper exfoliation will give you the
skin benefits that will bring back your youthful glow.
An exfoliating lotion or solution
may be helpful to remove dead skin cells that give your face the dull color.
Using facial cleansers that have
microbeads such as crushed apricot seed may help remove the old skin through
dermabrasion.
Retinoic acid also is known as
retinoids may also be used for this purpose.
The process of exfoliation works by
removing the skin’s top layer.
Big grains found in cleansers may
cause tearing of your skin.
Choose those that have finer beads.
Chemical peel such as the use of glycolic may also help you exfoliate.
However, this can cost your pocket
much. Buy a toner. This helps you remove oil and dirt easily. It leaves your
skin free from dirt and dead cells as well.
Moisturize
Get the best moisturizer. When you
exfoliate, you may notice peeling on your face.
You can prevent this by using a face
cream that moisturizes you and gives you a finer look on the face.
Day creams come in different brands.
You just have to choose the one that fits your skin best.
Apply powder to have a smooth finish
because you may look shiny in using some types of moisturizers.
Use
Sunscreen
Applying a sunblock with at least an
SPF of 30 may help you prevent problems associated with sun exposure.
Nobody wants to have neither skin
cancer nor premature skin aging. It is definitely a must to stay protected from
the UV rays.
When you use retinoids and other
chemicals for exfoliation, this may make your skin photosensitive. You may have
redness and skin irritation after staying a long time outdoors.
Following these rituals and finding
time to do them regularly will help you take care of your skin.
These skincare regimens are all
worth the effort. Prevent skin aging and have the youthful glow you can have
despite the aging years.
