HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN

Skin care involves more than just cleaning it and using lotion. It also involves having a healthy diet, getting enough sleep and exercise, and managing stress levels. Your unique skin type may also determine any additional treatments as well, such as using exfoliating scrubs or moisturizing masks.
But today we're going to look into the basic things you must know and how to do them properly as far as skincare is concerned.

WASH YOUR FACE REGULARLY.

You should wash your face in the morning when you get up, and in the evening before going to bed everyday. Use lukewarm water and a facial cleanser or face wash suitable to your skin type. You can wash your face with clean hands, a washcloth, or a soft sponge.

Follow up with some toner and moisturizer.

If you wear makeup, remember to remove it as well.

Don't forget about the skin on your neck! This is often overlooked.

Note: Do not use your normal body soap to wash your face as the skin on the face is thinner and more delicate than that on the body.

DO NOT BATH WITH HOT WATER USE LUKEWARM WATER INSTEAD.

Hot water can feel relaxing, but it can also strip your skin of its natural oils. This can lead to dry, patchy skin.

If you have dry skin, use a moisturizing body wash with natural oils, such as almond, coconut, or olive oil for your body and a facial wash with the listed oils too.

If you're going to use a cleanser, I recommend a mild facial cleanser for all skin types as this avoids burning sensations and excessive production of oil from the sebaceous glands on your face.

Apply moisturizer or lotion while your skin is still damp. Use facial moisturizers and creams on your face, and lotions or body butter on your body. Change the type of moisturizer or lotion you use depending on the season. Use a heavier, richer one during the cold seasons, and a lighter one during the hot ones.

Consider a moisturizer that contains SPF to guard your skin against the sun's harmful rays.

All skin types benefit from moisturizer, including oily! Opt for a lightweight or gel-based moisturizer intended for oily skin. Water based moisturizers have a good reputation among those with oily skin.

EXFOLIATION

Exfoliate your skin once a week.This will help buff away those dead skin cells and leave your skin feeling silky-smooth. You use scrubs, loofahs, and exfoliating sponges. Be sure to use a gentler exfoliator on your face than on the rest of your body. Remember, the skin on your face is much more delicate than the skin on your arms and legs.

Choose exfoliating scrubs carefully. The larger the grains, the more abrasive the scrub will be. Avoid scrubs with walnut shells if you have sensitive skin.

If you have dry skin, you may want to exfoliate daily. Be gentle about it, and always moisturize afterwards.

MAKE-UP TIPS

Don't be afraid to wear makeup, but do it with care. Use makeup that is suitable for your skin type, and remove it before going to sleep to prevent breakouts.[3] If you wear makeup daily, avoid wearing any makeup for a day or two to give your skin a break.

Powder-based makeup is great for oily skin, but liquid or cream-based makeup is more suitable for dry.

Clean your makeup brushesregularly to prevent the build up and spread of acne-causing bacteria.

BE SMART WITH CHOOSING PRODUCTS

Read product labels carefully, especially if you have sensitive skin. Not every ingredient in skincare products is safe for skin. Avoid products containing the following ingredients: paraben, phthalates, propylene glycol, and sodium lauryl sulfate. Keep in mind that "paraben" doesn't always appear by itself. It usually is part of a longer ingredient, such as: methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben.

If you have sensitive skin, consider products that are fragrance-free.

Nice one. As OP pointed out, the Face is VERY delicate. If you adhere to all these but touch your face with your hand often, it could also lead to breakouts on your face as your hands harbour ALOT of germs.

Thanks for sharing @Op
