There are countless varieties of skin conditions and types, and
each require it’s own unique skin care regime to keep you looking
your best. The first step to having beautiful skin is determining
what type of skin you have, whether it be oily, dry or combination.
Make a list of the aspects of your skin that you would like your
future skin care products to alleviate.
It’s important to research what ingredients are used to treat
which types of skin conditions. For example, if you have a problem
with dry skin, you’ll want to avoid skin cleansers with excessive
amounts of benzoyl peroxide, as it will dry your skin even further.
Knowing what the ingredients in potential skin care products do and
making an informed decision based on your research will ensure that
you find the correct product, and that the product you choose
doesn’t make your condition worse. If you have a problem with acne,
choosing a product that is meant for dry skin may cause your acne
to get worse as your skin builds up more oils due to the product.
This doesn’t mean the product is bad, simply that it isn’t meant
for your condition or skin type.
When you find the right skin care product, you must experiment
to find the right regimen for you. The suggested skin care regimen
presented by the product may not be quite right for your skin.
Experimenting to find the correct amounts to use, and how often to
use them will provide you with the best results. Using the product
too often could dry out your skin, or even irritate it enough to
cause a rash. Start slow, and work your way up. It’s better to use
too little in the beginning than too much. Patience will help you
avoid embarrassing skin irritation and will help you keep your skin
healthy.
After finding the perfect product and the ideal regimen, stick
to it. Consistency is the best bet for healthier, more beautiful
skin.
