1.) Want to stop pimples in their tracks? Then stop them from forming in the first place.
Discard old face foundation and make up that will clog pores from harmful bacteria build up.
Using out of date cosmetics can lead to clogged pores, pimples, even skin infections.
Wash applicator sponges and brushes after each use, and allow to dry before reusing.
Better yet, use disposable applicators.
Toss out foundation and mascara after 3-6 months.
Opt for skin friendly non-comedogenic/hypo-allergenic cosmetics.
Cleanse your face nightly before going to bed to remove all traces of pore clogging cosmetics.
2.) Never pop a pimple.
Pimple popping can lead to more serious infection and even scarring.
Apply a gentle black head or pimple drying solution, and allow the skin irritation to clear naturally.
To keep pores clear, cleanse your face daily with a product that contains glycolic acid and exfoliate at least once a week.
Speak to your dermatologist if skin eruptions persist as it may be a sign of a more serious condition, i.e. adult acne that requires prescription treatment.
3.) Skin changes as we age, becoming more fragile, and dry, unable to renew itself naturally as well as it once did.
Aging dry skin can look gray, drab and lifeless.
It's unrealistic to think that the same face care products you used as a teen will be sufficient for your 40's.
You can help speed up the cell renewal process and renew your skin's glow by selecting skin care products that help remove the dead skin cells to reveal fresh radiant skin beneath.
Look for products enriched with alpha hydroxy, Retinols, Pychnogenol, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and ceramides.
Collagen enhanced skin creams offer a super luxurious moisterizing experience to rehydrate dry skin.
While pore tightening masks may help alleviate the appearance of large pores.
4.) Recent studies have indicated that nearly 100% of wrinkles can be attributed to exposure from the sun.
To protect your delicate skin's future, apply sunscreen liberally everytime you go out, even if it's just going to be for a few minutes.
Not only will this help prevent wrinkles, but also age spots, as well.
5.) Find beauty through balance.
A hectic, fast paced life can lead you to make all the wrong choices when it comes to taking care of your body. Instead of taking the time to care for your skin and yourself, you put the task off till later. As your skin ages, you'll notice that it doesn't bounce back as quickly and begins to look more lack lustre.
You can help combat some of the signs of early aging by getting enough rest, drinking plenty of water and eating a diet rich in anti-oxident containing fruits and vegetables.
Anti-oxidents fight the free radicals that make skin age fast.
Give your skin a fighting chance at looking beautiful.
With a few simple changes to your daily routine, you can keep your skin clear and beautiful for years to come.
