what's your skin care regimen??

out of all the skin care products out in the market promising youthful, acne-free, blemish-free, pretty, and glowing skin, we get confused and spend our money on things that maybe we don't really need.. but WHAT do we really need to do just to have all that? here are 4 sure-fire tips..

1. CLEANSE.

Really simple. Never leave make-up on your face no matter what. Use the proper makeup remover or just wash your face really well. You don't have to spend too much on cleansing your skin.. There are a lot of good skin cleansers that can be found on drugstores. There's Cetaphil Cleanser For dry and oily skin which is recommended by many dermatologists, Pond's cold cream and facial wash (good on Asian skin ), Neutrogena Oil-free Acne Wash and Treatment also recommended by dermatologists, Clinique Wash-Away Gel, Olay Foaming Face Wash, and many more... So girls, just follow this basic step and you are on your way to beautiful skin.

2. EXFOLIATE.

Most women skip this step. Why is it important? Well, to remove the old and dead cells that cling to the outer layer of our skin. According to Berg, one of the reasons men's skin looks more youthful than women's is because men tend to exfoliate daily when they shave. Again, there are a lot of available exfoliants in the market, just choose one that is compatible with your skin. Not sure which one? do the famous and simple homemade exfoliant step: SUGAR. Mix sugar with vitamin E, baby oil, or olive oil. Gently rub on your face, leave on for a few minutes, rinse, pat your skin dry, and voila! Try this and you'll see what i mean.

3. MOISTURIZE

Every skin type will benefit from moisturizing, exception only are those with acne-prone skin. Why? It is because moisturizers seal moisture into the skin. But be careful not to over moisturize because it may clog pores and cause acne breakouts.

4. APPLY SUNSCREEN.

There's no contest to this step, right? Sun damage causes wrinkles and sunscreen is our best defense against it. People who face the computer more should really observe this because computer monitors emit a certain amount of UV rays.


So there, CLEANSE, EXFOLIATE, MOISTURIZE, and SUNSCREEN.
