Getting A Good Facial Routine
It is important to take good care of your skin, starting from being a teenager as this is when the skin becomes likely to break out in acne and general spots due to fluctuating hormone levels.
whatever your age you will be able to find skin care products to suit your skin type. All chemists sell products specifically for skin prone to breakouts and acne.
If over the counter products fail to work, do not despair. Your doctor can recommend treatments such as the contraceptive pill for women or antibiotics for severe acne. There are also topical skin treatments they can prescribe. Buy acai berry skincare products for a more natural approach as these contain an extract of the acai berry which is renown for it’s healing properties.
There are also various night cream products that are worth trying. The skin heals itself and regenerates whilst you are asleep so it makes sense that a topical lotion applied prior to going to bed would be of some benefit to your skin.
Lotions and creams that have a beauty perfume are to be avoided if you have sensitive or blemished skin. This is because the perfume contained within the product to make it smell nice can be quite astringent and cause further blemishing.
If you do have a problem using perfumed creams, there is a lot of creams on the market which contain no perfume and are more suitable for use for sensitive skin.
For general skin care the best thing to do is to cleanse tone and moisturise morning and evening. There are many options for cleansing. You can use special cloths that exfoliate gently whilst cleansing, or use a cream or lotion wiped off with cotton wool, facial wipes that come in a packet or foaming cream washes.
If you have dry or sensitive skin then steer clear of using a toner. They can cause drying and blemishes to appear after use as they are very astringent.
Moisturising is a vital part of any skincare routine, you need to find a cream to suit your skin type. For example use a light cream if you have greasy or oily skin and a richer cream if you have dry skin. You may find that you need to change your cream in the summer or the winter as your skin needs will change with the weather, tending to dry out in winter because of weather and central heating. Night creams are very beneficial in helping the skin heal itself.
