Proper Daily Skin Care
Proper daily skin care helps your skin to be:
- Free of bacteria, which can cause an infection
- Moisturized, so your skin doesn’t crack and leave an entry point for bacteria
- Beautiful, so you can look your best every day
Proper Skin Care Routine
On a daily basis, a proper skincare routine should include:
- Cleansing your skin using mild products like foaming cleansers or gels. Avoid soaps which can dry your skin
- After cleansing, pat your skin gently, leaving a small amount of moisture on the surface of your skin
- Use an alcohol-free toner to help balance the pH of your skin
- Use a moisturizer with at least SPF 15 sunscreen every day
Your Environment
Your environment has a lot to do with how your skin looks, so if it is hot and sunny where you live, you should:
- Apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when you are outside
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. This helps to keep your skin from becoming dry
- Protect your vulnerable areas by wearing hats, glasses, and other clothing
Cold and Windy Weather
If it is cold and windy where you live, you should:
- Use a thick, alcohol-free cream or lotion moisturizer at least once each day
- Avoid long, hot baths or showers because they can dry your skin
- Wear protective clothing to shield your skin from cold and wind
