- Use a Cleanser that suits your Skin Type
Cleansing is the prime step of your skin care regimen and is the key for healthy skin. However, different skin types require different levels of cleansing actions. People with dry skin require a gentle moisturizing cleanser that cleans the skin without stripping off its natural lipids. Likewise, people with oily skin need a foaming cleanser.
- Exfoliate Regularly
Accumulation of dead skin cells on the skin surface contribute to a variety of skin problems including acne, dry skin and dullness. This is why you should exfoliate regularly to remove the dead skin cells to achieve a healthier complexion. Again, if you have dry skin, don't exfoliate more than once a once a week but of you have oily skin then exfoliate about two to three times in a week.
- Try Retinoid Skin Care Products
Retinoids, or even retinols, produce great benefits to the skin. They are derivatives of Vitamin A that rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen synthesis, reducing lines and wrinkles, diminishing discoloration and clearing up acne.
- Moisturize Effectively
One of the most common misconceptions people have is oily skin doesn't require moisturization. However, nothing can be further from the truth. It is important to understand that moisture i.e. water and oil are two different things and even if you have oily skin, you need to use a moisturizer if you want to keep your skin well-hydrated. Choose a lightweight oil-free moisturizer but don't skip it. On the other hand, if you have dry skin, use a rich creamy moisturizing formula.
- Always Wear Sunscreen
Sunscreen is your best defense against any anti-aging concerns. Even if you use superb skincare products, sun exposure can damage the health and appearance of your skin. That is why you need to shield yourself against any kind of sun damage by using at least an SPF 30 sunscreen also, make sure your sunscreen contains broad-spectrum protection against both.
