Maintaining beautiful, healthy skin requires diligent effort on your part. The actions you take daily will play a major role in the condition of your skin. Your skin can be beautiful no matter what age you are if you take the time.
- Remove makeup every day. If you use long-lasting makeup, do a double cleanse with a cleanser to break down the makeup and a second cleanse with a cream or cream to foam or foam cleanser depending on skin type. Micellar water can be a good first step for anyone.
- Keep your pillowcases (and pillows) clean. They can easily become a hotbed for dust mites or bacteria.
- Invest in a silk pillowcase if your budget allows. The smoother fibers are very skin-friendly.
- Use a moisturizer – Southern California is dry. Even oily skin can become dehydrated.
- Wear sunscreen. Yes, even on cloudy days and when you’re staying inside.
- Hydration is important. Drink plenty of water. Sodas and caffeine can cause a cascade of negative effects.
- Sleep to stay rested. Consider sleep time as your skin repair time.
- Exfoliate gently on a schedule – once or twice a week. The key word is gentle.
- Certain hair products can cause breakouts, so pay attention.
- See your dermatologist yearly or as required. Unattended problems generally get worse.
