Skincare can be an easy daily part of your routine if you make a simple and effective plan and stick to it. There is no way to get healthy skin unless you put time aside to care for your skin, just like you cant expect to have a beautiful flower garden without planned work and care of it. So what are some important aspects of a routine for healthy skin?

First- Determine what skin type yours is. There are 4 major skin types- Oily, Normal, Dry or Combination.

Oily skin types struggle because they have too much the oil your skin needs to stay healthy. Their battle is monitoring the levels of moisture on their face. Normal skin although called normal is actual more rare. It has a good place of oils and only struggles occasionally with oil levels. This skin type needs to make sure they face wash is very mild and isnt adding unnecessary moisture to their skin.

Dry skin is just that, dry. There isnt enough of the helpful oil in their pores and so in order to keep a healthy appearance they need to incorporate lotions.

And Combination skin has patches of both oily and dry. They may need lotion in one area of their face and not in others.

Once you have determined which skin type you are you need to find a face wash that will give your skin what it needs. Be sure to plan a time daily when you can wash your face but make sure you are only doing it once a day. It is hard on your skin if you are constantly stripping everything from it 2 or 3 times a day.

Be cautious in how you treat your zits and blemishes. Yes they are a visible problem but you have to remember that they are very sensitive. Picking at them will only harm them more and turn them into permanent scars. Instead find a cream that will dry them out and apply that regularly. It will keep you skin from unnecessary scars and pock marks.

Finally be sure to apply sunscreen to your skin regularly. The sun is the strongest enemy of your skin it is really harsh and a daily habit of applying a low SPF sunscreen will give you skin the protection it needs. The effects of the sun arent often seen until later years but if you start now you will be ahead then.

There are many myths about skin care that circle around. It can be frustrating to know where to turn for the help you need. You dont want to waste time on things that wont work but you also dont want to discount the thing that may be your cure. Here are just a few of the myths that can cause problems.

Myth #1: Wash your face Morning, Noon and Night.

This is harmful myth. The truth to this is that if you wash your face that many times during the day you are actually making it harder for your skin to be as healthy as it can. Washing your skin is good, once a day. More then and you are taking out the oils that are actually helpful for your skin. So instead of doing all three choose one time, morning, noon OR night, and wash your skin daily at that time

Myth #2: Sunscreen is to be used whenever you are going to be exposed to the sun for long periods of time

This myth is actually a half truth. If you are going to be exposed to the sun for a long period of time (i.e boating, or hiking or biking, or playing in a park) then sunscreen with a high SPF is an absolute must. However that is not the only time sunscreen is a good idea.

Sunscreen actually is better on a daily basis. Find a low SPF sunscreen and apply it daily, even during winter months. This helps give your skin the daily protection it needs. The sun is daily attacking your skin every time that it can, sunscreen can be your daily protection from that ensuring beautiful skin in later years.

Myth #3: Dont let zits grow at all, stop them as soon as you can.

Again this is another half truth. Yes you want to stop zits as soon as they start to come but that doesn’t mean they wont have to run their course first. When you see a zit dont pick it apart. This only hurts because it causes two things: scars and more zits. Instead find a zit and blemish cream and apply it on a regular basis. No amount of picking will help heal it faster. A quick recovery means proper treatment and a good skin care routine.

Knowing the proper care of your face is often not only forgotten but not even known. Many of us have no idea what will help and hurt the skin on our faces. We simply hope every morning when we wake up that it will be clear and beautiful. If we want that dream to be a reality we have to put some effort in on our side. Knowing the basics of skin care can mean a whole new look for your face.

Improving the health of your face isnt like changing your clothes, rather its more like process that will take time and continual effort but will bring great results. It takes patience and knowledge. Your face is a sensitive place because the skin is sensitive. Use these tips to help improve the health of your skin over the upcoming weeks.

First- Never pop your pimples.- Its true pimples are ugly and uncomfortable but that doesnt mean you should pop them. When you pop a pimple you run the high risk of spreading that infection somewhere else. You may think you are solving the problem but the truth is you are only causing more problems for you in the future. When that infection spreads it causes more pimples and more problems. The popping of a pimple often leads to more then one extra pimple later.

This tip is for girls. Dont pile on the makeup, use as little as possible to achieve the look you want. The less the better because then the less that is clogging up you skins pores. Also along those same lines, remove your makeup before you go to sleep. This helps slow the effects of aging an cleans out your pores before you rest. Keep a close eye on your makeup, most people dont know it can go bad. If it smells at all or looks different from when you first bought it throw it away. This makeup has gone bad and can be harmful for your skin.

Skin care is a daily battle that is worth fighting because your skin is your most visible feature. Take the time to learn what you are suppose to do and how and then take the time each day to do it.
