Basic Skin Care

We all want beautiful young looking skin. Even in our twenties, it is important to care for our skin properly and even more so as we age.

You don't have to have money to buy the most expensive products to do basic skin care. It is quite simple to do the basics for your skin.

• Drink plenty of water! This is so important. Keeping your skin (and the rest of your body) well hydrated is essential to fresh dewy skin.
  
• Remove your makeup every night before bed. Leaving it on can clog your pores and leave you with dull dead-looking skin. This can be done simply with a handy face wipe wiped gently across your face and eyes. They even remove mascara and eyeliner.
• Discover your skin type. Does your face get shiny or oily by midday? Do you have dry patches? Maybe you have combination skin, with a t-zone down your nose and forehead. Whatever your skin type, purchase products for that skin type.
• Cleanse your face thoroughly at least once per day with a gentle cleanser.
  
• Use a face mask once a week tailored to your skin type. There are peel-off, wash-off and exfoliating masks.
• Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Again, find one for your skin type but don't neglect this important step.
• Use sunscreen everyday. Some makeups and moisturizers have sunscreen in them so you can kill two birds with one stone. Don't forget the rest of your exposed skin!
