Before you know it, summer will be here and it will be time to show
much skin! But how can you care for your skin properly? Well,
we're here to help you find out! This will be a two part
series to help you get on track.
There
are six sections for us to tackle:
1.
Cleansing
2. Moisturizing
3. Exfoliating
4. Skin Protection
5. Skin Impurities/Conditions
6. Nourishing from the inside out
Let's start with cleansing. Cleanse your face twice a day
regularly for a glowing complexion. The best time is once in
the morning and once at night. when choosing a facial
cleanser, make sure it is compatible with your skin type (oily, dry,
combination, normal). Avoid using hot water when cleaning your
face because it can dry out your skin. Oil-free cleansers are
good for oily to combination skin. Moisturizing cleansers are
good for dry skin.
Moisturizing your
skin is very important and helps protect your skin, no matter what
type it is. For oily skin, water-based and oil free
moisturizers are best. Neutrogena's healthy skin product line
is great! They contain vitamins that promote healthy
skin. It is better to apply vitamins for your skin
topically--as you will get a better benefit from it for your skin
than orally. And yes, Neutrogena is good for our skin
too!
Exfoliating is vital
to all skin types, but especially to oily skin. Ridding
yourself of dead skin cells that block pores is a great way to keep
your skin looking healthy. Take your pick in the stores or
make your own--we have recipes for you in the homemade
house!
The rest of our skin
care series will be continued.......
