Be gentle when cleaning your face. Be sure to remove eye makeup, use
lukewarm water, avoid strong soaps, use your hands (less abrasive than a
washcloth) to wash your face, and rinse thoroughly and dry.
Bathing:
Bathing once a day is usually sufficient. Use warm water and appropriate
mild soaps, and pat dry.
Moisturizing:
Moisturizers assist in maintaining your skin’s nature moisture levels which
can be depleted by the environment and your lifestyle. Apply immediately after
your shower.
Shaving:
Shaving is a common way to remove unwanted hair, but it can be irritating to
the skin. Use a shaving cream and a sharp blade.
Healthy Lifestyle:
Eat healthy as your body
requires nutrients and drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.
Exercise improves blood circulation
which improves your skin’s tone and color.
Sleep is an important factor
for good skin. A lack of sleep causes puffy and sallow skin.
Quit smoking as it puts you
at risk for heart disease and cancer, but also has detrimental effects
upon on your skin causing it to age prematurely.
Protect yourself from sun
exposure, the leading cause of skin cancer.
In summary, there are other existing skin diseases or conditions. If you
have a question regarding your skin, a dermatologist is the doctor to see.
