Easy Steps to Take Care of Your Skin Naturally

Your skin will have to last you a lifetime. You might as well take care of it as much as you can. Try these steps to pamper and maintain healthy skin.

1- Keeping Your Skin Soft, Clean, and Moisturized

1- Wash your face twice daily to keep it oil-free, improve complexion, and prevent breakouts. You should wash your face in the morning when you get up, and in the evening before going to bed. Use lukewarm water and a facial cleanser suitable to your skin type. You can wash your face with clean hands, a washcloth, or a soft sponge.
Follow up with some toner and moisturizer.
If you wear makeup, remember to remove it as well.
Don't forget about the skin on your neck! This is often overlooked.

2- Skip the hot water when bathing or showering, and use lukewarm water instead.

Hot water can feel relaxing, but it can also strip your skin of its natural oils. This can lead to dry, patchy skin.
If you have dry skin, use a moisturizing body wash with natural oils, such as almond, coconut, or olive oil.

3- Gently pat your skin dry with a towel

This applies to both the skin on your face an on your body. It would be even better to leave your skin slightly damp. This way, your skin can absorb the excess moisture and re-hydrate itself.

4- Apply moisturizer or lotion while your skin is still damp

Use facial moisturizers and creams on your face, and lotions or body butter on your body. Change the type of moisturizer or lotion you use depending on the season. Use a heavier, richer one during the winter, and a lighter one during the summer.
Consider a moisturizer that contains SPF to guard your skin against the sun's harmful rays.
All skin types benefit from moisturizer, including oily! Opt for a lightweight or gel-based moisturizer intended for oily skin.

5- Exfoliate your skin once a week

This will help buff away those dead skin cells and leave your skin feeling silky-smooth. You use scrubs, loofahs, and exfoliating sponges. Be sure to use a gentler exfoliator on your face than on the rest of your body. Remember, the skin on your face is much more delicate than the skin on your arms and legs.
Choose exfoliating scrubs carefully. The larger the grains, the more abrasive the scrub will be. Avoid scrubs with walnut shells if you have sensitive skin.
If you have dry skin, you may want to exfoliate daily. Be gentle about it, and always moisturize afterwards.

6- Don't be afraid to wear makeup, but do it with care

Use makeup that is suitable for your skin type, and remove it before going to sleep to prevent breakouts. If you wear makeup daily, avoid wearing any makeup for a day or two to give your skin a break.
Powder-based makeup is great for oily skin, but liquid or cream-based makeup is more suitable for dry.
Clean your makeup brushes regularly to prevent the build up and spread of acne-causing bacteria.

7-Read product labels carefully, especially if you have sensitive skin

Not every ingredient in skincare products is safe for skin. Avoid products containing the following ingredients: paraben, phthalates, propylene glycol, and sodium lauryl sulfate. Keep in mind that "paraben" doesn't always appear by itself. It usually is part of a longer ingredient, such as: methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben.
If you have sensitive skin, consider products that are fragrance-free.
