A simple, three-step approach that includes cleansing, moisturizing, and protecting your skin can help in keeping your skin healthy. This is the least and a must, you should do for your skin.
- Cleanse your skin: before applying skin care products in the morning and before going to bed. A cleanser or facewash removes dirt, oil, and debris, and helps in preventing clogged pores and breakouts. To prevent irritation, limit face washing to twice a day and after sweating.
- Moisturizer: use moisturizer on damp skin. Moisturizer traps water in your skin, helping it look brighter and younger. Keeps your skin barrier and its protective function intact. It is important to moisturize your face, body, and lips, even if you have oily skin.
- Use sun protection to help prevent wrinkles, age spots, and skin cancer. Whether you seek shade, wear sun-protective clothing, or apply sunscreen, sun protection is an important part of your daily skin care. Apply sunscreen to all skin not covered by clothing. The SPF should be 30+ and above. Also look for a PA factor of +++ or above.
- Consider using dual-function products, such as a moisturizer with sunscreen. Make sure the sunscreen is broad-spectrum and has an SPF of 30 or higher, and remember to reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating.
- Read the label. Look for products for your skin type that say “non-comedogenic” or “won’t clog pores.”
To maximize results and minimize potential irritations, choose products that will work best for your skin type.
