1. The first thing you should do when caring for your face is to get into a routine of cleansing it.
Twice a day with your optimal product will fight many of the most
common skin problems and leave your face feeling healthy and looking
great. Blemishes on your face can be combated by either the use of a
product or an organic solution. Deciding which to use really depends on
your skin type and acne severity. More sensitive skin may need a gentler
product, while less sensitive skin may require a harsher product to see
results. Clearasil and Proactive are popular choices for use on acne,
though there are countless to choose from at your local drugstore. For
those who prefer an organic method, lemon juice, dandelion sap, honey,
and other materials have proven to work as well.
2. Take care of facial hair. This ensures a fine facial
structure and clean look. Keep your eyebrow lines neat, upper lip hair
and chin hair groomed. To trim eyebrows, meet with a professional who
can wax or pluck your eyebrows. They really do the best job, and will
make sure that you don't take too much off, as this can lead to problems
in the future. If you want to do it yourself, take a washcloth soaked
in hot water and press it onto the area where you are about to remove
the hair. Then remove the few stray hairs with tweezers. Do this every
night before bed for best results.
3. Moisturize. If you have dry skin, you especially need
to make sure that your face is getting the moisture it needs. Use a
gentle moisturizer to keep your skin feeling soft and glowing.
4. Make sure to drink lots of water. Your body needs
plenty of hydration during the day to keep removing wastes and oils from
your face. You should probably drink eight glasses of water a day.
5. Don't touch your face. Many people have bad habits of
messing with acne or leaning their face on their hands. Your hands have
oils on them that will clog pores, increasing blemishes. No matter how
tempting it might be, don't pop pimples or interfere with anything
facial- though it may seem like it will make it better, it actually
makes it much worse and instead of dealing with a two day pimple you now
have a two week long project. A tip here is changing your pillowcase
often- the oils linger on the fabric, getting on your face during the
night.
6. Take care of your lips. Use a lip hydrator often and
make sure to moisturize your lips. A simple way to do this is to rub a
sugar-and-water solution on them and then moisturize, as the sugar
removes dead cells and rejuvenates the lips. Keep a stick of lip
moisturizer on you at all times and use throughout the day. Be careful
not to use too much Chapstick though. Your lips can literally get
addicted to the chemicals that prevent/heal chapped lips; they will stop
making that chemical themselves, and it's a painful addiction to break! MORE TIPS COMING ON THE LIPS
7. Protect your face from the sun by using sunblock every day.
Ultraviolet rays will damage your skin over time and it's essential
that you protect your face from harmful radiation. Use a good sunscreen
or makeup with sunscreen in it, even a little, before going out, and you
will have fresh, healthy skin. Another way to protect yourself is to
wear clothing that will cover you, like a hat.
