Easy Skin Care Routine That Works Wonders!

Today I want you to have a brand new thinking about your skin and know that your skin can look amazing if you do the right things.

Is up to you to work and improve your skin care routine so let’s do our best sistah!

The first thing in order to start your skin care routine the right way is to know your skin type.

What is Your Skin Type?

When you know your skin type, it will be easier to take better care of it.

  • Dry skin is flaky, scaly, or rough.
  • Oily skin is shiny, greasy, and may have big pores.
  • Combination skin is dry in some spots (cheeks) and oily in others (forehead, nose, and chin).
  • Sensitive skin may sting, burn, or itch after you use some makeup or other products.
  • Normal skin is balanced, clear, and not sensitive.

Now that you know all about the skin types and you’ve picked your right skin type let’s check how to clean your skin.

How to Cleaning Normal/Combo Skin

Please, don’t just grab whatever soap is in the shower or at the sink to wash your face.

Just find skin care that works for you.

Apply a gentle cleanser or soap with your fingertips without scrubbing your face.

Rinse with plenty of warm water, then pat dry.

If your skin dries out or gets oily, try a different cleanser.

Cleaning Dry Skin

For this skin type, use a gentle cleanser that doesn’t have alcohol or fragrances. Those ingredients can dry you out even more. Gently wash your skin, then rinse with plenty of warm water. Don’t use hot water — it removes the natural oils from your face faster. Try exfoliating once a week to get rid of flaky skin cells. It will make your skin look clearer and more even.

Cleaning Oily Skin

Use an oil-free foaming cleanser to wash your face. Rinse with plenty of warm water. You may want to use a toner or astringent after, but be careful because it might irritate your skin. These products can remove extra oil, which makes your face less shiny, and help keep skin clean.

Cleaning Sensitive Skin

Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and rinse with warm water. Don’t rub your skin with a towel — gently pat it dry. Exfoliating may irritate sensitive skin. Try not to use products that have alcohol, soap, acid, or fragrance. Instead, look on the label for calming ingredients like aloe, chamomile, green tea polyphenols, and oats. The fewer ingredients in a product, the happier your face may be.

How to Moisturize Your Skin

You may think you’re too young to need moisturizer — or your skin is too oily — but all skin types need one every day.

Apply it while your skin is still damp from washing or rinsing to help seal in moisture.

If you have acne or your skin is oily, find a moisturizer that’s lightweight and oil-free, so it won’t block your pores.

Do I need to put on Sunscreen?

Your moisturizer may already have sunscreen in it.

But it’s a good idea to use separate protection, too. The sun can damage your skin in only 15 minutes.

Look for a sunscreen that gives broad-spectrum protection with an SPF of at least 30. Wear it every day, even if it’s not sunny and even if it’s cold.

Reapply every 2 hours.

When Should You Wash your skin?

You can dry your skin by washing it too much, so once a day is fine for most people. In the morning, rinse your face with lukewarm water.

Use a soft towel to pat it dry. At night, wash with a cleanser or gentle soap gets rid of the day’s dirt and makeup.

If you exercise, play sports, or have PE, you may want to wash your face afterward with a gentle cleanser.

Sweat can clog your pores and make acne worse.

Important, Don’t Wear Makeup to Bed!

When you’re tired, it can be tempting to go to bed without washing your face. But leaving makeup on your skin can clog your pores and cause acne. So wash it off with a gentle cleanser or makeup remover.

Use a soft wash cloth or cotton pads.

If you use acne medicine, now’s a good time to put it on — when your face is clean and you won’t be putting on makeup.

What you need to know about Acne

Why does acne usually start when you’re a teen? Puberty causes your body to make more hormones, which lead your skin to make more sebum, an oil that comes from your pores.

Too much sebum and dead skin cells can clog pores and trap bacteria inside.

The germs thrive and acne starts. It can show up as whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples.

How to Treat Acne

Don’t pop those pimples! That can lead to infection and scars. Instead, try acne-fighting products. They come as lotions, creams, gels, and cleansing pads.

Follow the directions carefully. If you use them too much or too often, they can irritate your skin and cause more blemishes. Just be patient — they can take 8 weeks to work.

If your acne is really bad, get help from a dermatologist.

Hiding Blemishes

To make zits less noticeable, you can cover them with oil-free makeup. Foundation may help cover large patches of acne. Concealer covers smaller areas. Green-tinted color-correcting concealer may cancel out redness.

You also can hide acne and treat it at the same time. Some tinted creams and concealers contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.

Stop using any product if it bothers your skin or causes more acne.

Food and Sleep for Healthy Skin

Keep your skin healthy by eating smart. Fill your plate with veggies, fruits, and whole grains. Choose lean proteins like chicken, fish, lean meat, beans, and eggs. Avoid foods that are high in cholesterol, trans fats, saturated fats, salt, and sugar.

Get plenty of sleep to avoid dark circles, fine lines, dull skin, and other side effects of bad rest. Relax!

Even stress can make you break out. And stay hydrated.
