How to Care For Your Skin
Does your skin feel dry, oily or some combination of the two? Do you always know how to care for your skin properly? Here are some tips for caring for your skin using organic methods. First, you'll want to make sure you wash your face morning and night with a mild soap and dry with a clean towel. Cleansing is essential for removing dirt, but may dry out the skin a bit. In the morning, wet your face with warm water and pat it dry. You can apply a moisturizer with the same effect. Afterwards, be sure to apply a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. Protect your skin from the sun and free radicals. After showering, apply a moisturizer by slowly massaging the skin with your fingers.
Avoid areas that are too oily, and be sure to remove makeup at the end of the day. If you spill mascara onto your pillowcase at night, cover the case up with a clean towel and tuck the magazine in your pillowcase.
If you spend time swimming, be sure to wear a swimcap that covers the hairline. Your hair will stick to it and you will end up with flyaway hair.
Try not to rub your face when applying or removing makeup. Patting it with a towel and squeezing skin lightly will help remove oil without damaging skin.
If you are always in warm environs, limit your time in the sauna, steam room or other heat treatments. This can cause the skin to get sunburned or become overly irritated.
Limit the amount of cosmetic products you apply to your skin. Some products, such as lotions, are meant to be used once only, while others are meant to be used repeatedly. If you opt for a body covered body stocking, select one that is meant for the body area. Such ones fit easily under clothing. If you plan on applying lotion to your face make sure it is intended for the same area.
As much as possible, avoid situations when you know you might be sweating. Try to keep your skin cool, and if you know you will be, try to change spots as soon as possible.
If you workout, limit the amount of time you spend on the gym. Follow a strict diet plan, and lose the extra weight slowly. Doctors recommend losing one to three pounds a week for a woman. For men, a fitness program is a great way to stay in shape.
As much as possible, try to avoid situations, such as having foods that are high in calories, fats and sugar. It is best to stick to lighter foods when it comes to eating habits. The same goes for any other fun activities. If you want to do an activity that is more strenuous, wait until you have recover from the initial pain.
If you think you have found the perfect solution to your skin problems, don't just rush into where you bought it. Remember all those little details. Be sure to buy merchandises such as organic soap or organic makeup. The purpose of purchasing organic goods is to help the consumer in giving back to the environment and herself. Light-weight paper towel rollers are a great example of non-organic personal care items. The paper towel rollers can contain chemicals that will irritate skin.
