So here they are – the best helpful skin care tips from experts…

Eat healthier.

Chocolate and other candy, French fries, fast food, pizza and soft drinks can be the reason of pimples or breakouts. By avoiding such foods that often make your face breakout, your skin will be less oily and more resistant to flaws. But of course you shouldn’t flatly eliminate it but eat those things in moderation. To my mind, this is the most considerable skin care tip, which should be followed strictly.

Hydrate and exercise.

Drinking the recommended two liters of water per day combined with some regular exercise – walking, running, bicycling has a great impact on one’s complexion. Following this skin care tip replace dull skin with a glowing look.

And also it will be useful to make you feel more energized and great. You will feel less stressed and more capable of achieving everything which was intended.

Control sun exposure.

Too much sun is not only useful, but even dangerously harmful. It can blister your lips, leaving them red, inflamed. And sunburned skin will eventually peel, leaving skin areas pimpled and very sensitive. You should try preventing sunburn and The best approach to it is to control how much time you spend in the sun and to avoid sun exposure by using sunscreen with SPF 15 or even greater.

Keep practicing a cleansing “rite”.

Purifying, exfoliating, toning up and moisturizing is what you need on your way toward healthier skin. Choose a gentle appropriate skin cleansing solution that works for your type of skin – dry, oily, normal, or combined and cleanse face in a circular motion and rinse with warmish water.

Follow the cleansing stage with an exfoliant. A granular product is often especially effective in smoothing rough areas and releasing dead skin cells, allowing the face to be better moisturized.

After the exfoliation process, use a toner to remove any makeup or cleanser residue. Also for your skin to be silky and soft you’d better do a facial mask, at least once a week.

Finally, dap skin with a soft towel but do not wipe dry. Apply a moisturizer (with or without sunscreen). But if you have oily skin you do not have to moisturize it as often as for example those who have dry, normal or combined skin.

By following every skin care tip, aforesaid you should soon notice positive results, by disciplining yourself, achieving healthier skin will be much easier.

Mistake #1

Lots of girls don’t know their skin type as there are few problems that bother them. And they buy the products that they saw their moms, friends used. Meanwhile the choice of the cosmetics is quite an intimate case. There shouldn’t be any fashion following, but only your skin preferences.

Do you know how many problems you can get applying oily creams onto the oily skin? Skin pores simply can’t breathe and be free from the dirt. And what if you put on the drying creams having the normal one?

Conclusion: diagnose your skin type. There are plenty of on-line resources to help you. For example, you can go to the global cosmetic brands sites and pass the tests determining your skin type. Probably, these tests are trustworthy as the brands are interested in selling you the right product so that you could be satisfied with their cosmetics and become their resident buyer. This is the first what you can do staying in the computer chair.

The second one is you should consult the specialist. The consultant-dermatologists provide some perfume and cosmetic salons with free first consultation. Remember, that you should be curious about your skin!

Mistake #2

There are not many girls who know how to clean the skin believing that soap is enough at the age of 18-20. Tightened skin they take as the cleanness indicator. And this is a big mistake! Good soap that matches your skin type shouldn’t dry or tighten the skin. You are lucky if your soap is half creamy. But what if it’s not?

Conclusion: know more about your soap. If your soap peels the lipidic layer daily, if the pH isn’t neutral, if there are some irritations, know that all these will affect your face in the future. Find the products that can clean your face skin harmlessly.

Mistake #3

This paragraph makes sense for those who uses makeup or is going to do it. The conception of modern demakeup is a two-phase procedure. If you use only a wad with cosmetic milk and then wash the face with soap, then you do recklessly! This sort of demakeup choke up the pores and doesn’t care about the skin at all.

Conclusion: clean the skin twice! The first phase should be accomplished with the special makeup removal products (milk or oil), and the second phase is so to say cleaning after cleaning – you should take away the rest of the first-phase-cleaning cosmetics. That would be great if you use a special oil-free gel, mouse or tonic matching your skin type.

Mistake #4

If you skin is pretty dry or peels off regularly, don’t underestimate it. It’s the first sign that your skin is in need of additional nourishment. Lend a hand! Nourish the places that peel most. Apply the nourishing creams onto he problematic skin places. The rest of the skin doesn’t require another cream as it copes to balance the oil without any help. However, modern creams meet the requirements of affecting wholesomely the various skin areas.

Conclusion: chose the nourishing product for your skin type and use it daily. The skin lacking for nourishing, is inclined to irritations, damages, mircoruptures causing premature ageing.

Mistake #5

Almost every sunburn influences the skin condition with age. It becomes evident if you go outdoors without putting on any skin protection cream or lotion. Nowadays there are plenty of sun protection pleasant fragrant products. Protect your skin, if you don’t want to be covered with wrinkles and pigment spots after 35.

Conclusion: keep in your bag sun protection UVA and UVB creams. That’ll be just wonderful if all your day products contain SPF filters (moistening cream, foundation and makeup cosmetics). They are a bit of a higher price, but they worth it. And don’t be ashamed to wear hats, baseball caps, sunglasses.

Mistake #6

Although you might know the latest fashion makeup trends, but still cover your face with something wrong. A lot of girls make this mistake because they choose the color of lipstick over its quality. Irritating and allergic mascara is applied the same way just like the creams.

Conclusion: learn more about your skin and cover it with only what it needs. Be captious choosing skin care products that fit your skin type and your age either. Anti-aging products may harm your skin if using at the wrong age. The cosmetics that you aren’t sure of shouldn’t draw your attention.

Mistake #7

Sometimes you are simply lazy, sometimes it’s your lack of knowledge or attention, but the fact is that the neck should be nourished and protected against the sun rays, free radicals and other harmful exposures too. Wrinkled neck with flabby skin can spoil even the most blooming appearance.

Conclusion: Taking care of the face, don’t forget about the neck. Clean it, moisten, massage, in short, do what you do for your face.

Mistake #8

It can sound ridiculous, but a lot of women find the wrinkles after sleep. Wrong sleep to be exact! If you prefer sleeping on one side, it provokes wrinkles appearing. The quality of a pillow influences on the situation in a good or bad ways. Ask a 40-year-old woman how the sleeping position effects the skin face in the morning! And if it happens day by day?

Conclusion: sleeping on the back is perfect. And find a good orthopaedic pillow that will be on the watch of your beauty. To avoid the wrinkles on the neck, stir clear off the high pillows.

Mistake #9

Each girl faces this mistake. When we are young, we eat everything including fast food, alcohol and smoking cigarettes. This indulgence might affect your figure and skin with time. Remember the saying: “We are what we eat!” What do you want to be: fat turkey or sweet peach? What skin do you want? Fruits and vegetables are wholesome for both the health and skin condition.

Conclusion: revise your eating regime. For openers, strike off the sweets and carbonated water. That’s a real evil for your skin! And eat more vegetables and fruits. Keep your weight stable. Weight loss or heavy weight gaining is the kind of stress for the skin and as a result – wrinkles and flabby skin.

Mistake #10

Skin should be moisturized constantly. Provide it with what you drink. When you take gulps of water, you definitely see the difference. It’s an incontestable fact proved by women.

Conclusion: water, water and water! But not carbonated water! Some dietitians recommend drinking water even at night if you awake for some reason. Don’t wait until you feel thirsty!

This simple truth can make you feel responsible for your face skin. You should always be aware of the fact that only 40% of your skin condition depends on the cosmetic care and procedures, and 60% on your life style, meals and positive attitude toward the life. So, let’s launch the changes, and your skin will say “Thank You!”

All these pollute the organism from inside causing skin problems. On the other hand, the cold stimulates and rejuvenates the cells. That’s why the winter coming affects our skin in a good way. But there should be taken some preventive measures to avoid the baneful influence of other factors.

SPA at home

Find a couple of hours a week to do with your beauty in real earnest. Let’s start with the easiest procedure.

Winter face clearness. Take the cosmetic clay and knead it till you get a sour cream consistency. Then apply the clay on to the face and leave it there for 30-40 minutes. Rinse it off with warm water and then immediately with cold one. The deepest cleaning provides the black clay, that is wholesome for the body care and fights with cellulite.

Winter face peeling. Mix up 1 tbsp oat meal with 1 tea spoon brown rice meal and 2-3 drops of lavender oil. Add a bit of warm water and 1 tea spoon honey. Massage delicately the face and neck skin using this mixture. Then rinse it off with warm water.

Face bath. This is a wonderful procedure for the normalization of the acid-base balance and skin detoxification. However, you’d better omit it, if you have a very sensitive skin or acne rosacea. Put the herbs and oils that fit exactly your skin type into the boiling water (in the pot or anything).

For example, chamomile goes well for the sensitive and dry skin types; peppermint and rosemary – for normal and combination ones as well as acne-affected skin. Lavender is the perfect herbal measure for all skin types.

Bend your head above the pot about 3-4 inches high and cover your head with the towel letting the towel hang over the pot sides either. Stay that way for 5 minutes and then put a moisturizer onto the face.

Winter face massage. Practice it with the help of a moisturizer or special therapeutic oil. Choose the moistening product that doesn’t contain petroleum, mineral oils and propylene glycol. Do the slight massaging moves over the face and neck bottom-up (from neck to forehead and temples).

If you care about the face this way every day, it will never make you feel uncomfortable and put off the aging.

Ice cubes are also one of the great anti aging measures. Don’t forget about the whole body that needs additional care in winter time.

Dry skin – that’s no great tragedy.

Prepare the following face lotion: blend 10 oz warm water and 3 oz cream and boil it. Cool it, pour it into a glass jar. Pour out the sediment. Rub the skin with this lotion mornings and evenings.

Nourishing mask with egg yellow. Beat up the half of 1 yolk (or 3 quail yolks) with 1 tea spoon olive oil and 15 drops of lemon juice. Apply the mixture onto the face. Rinse it off in 15 min with warm water.

Linseed nourishing mask. Mix 1 tbsp flax seed with 5 oz boiling water. Boil it for 5-10 minutes. Cool it and put onto the face skin for 20 min, then rinse off with warm water.

Honey mask. Grind 1 tbsp oatmeal, 1 tea spoon honey and 1 beaten up egg yellow. Apply the gruel onto the face for 20 minutes and then rinse off with warm water.

Sour-cream mask. Mix up the equal parts of honey and sour cream. Put it onto the skin. Rinse it off in 20 min.

Oily skin – easy to dry a bit.

Grate orange and grapefruit peel. Squash fruit juice and add it into the peel gruel. Add 3 oz brandy, put in to a warm place and let it draw for 7 days. Filter it. Don’t drink it though it’s tasty. Rub the face with the lotion 2 times a day.

Honey mask. Mix 3 oz honey with 1 oz vodka and 1 oz water. Stir it well and apply onto the face for 25 minutes and then rinse off with warm water.

Yolk mask. Beat up 1 yolk and 20 drops of lemon juice. Rub the face with olive oil and then apply the mask. Rinse off in 20 minutes.

None of these masks will require more than 20-25 min of your precious time. But if you practice them regularly, you’ll spend about 140 minutes (2.5 hours) per week on the face care. That’ll be 10 hours per month! And 120 hours – a year! Can you imagine how your skin condition will change having this care.

To protect your skin, you’d better have fall creams that are noted “regenerative” or “protective”. Such creams will help you to build up the protective barrier for the skin against the weather changes.

It’s also worth mentioning that the fall cosmetics should have more fatty components in its composition than the summer one.

But as is generously known, you should know where to stop, because if you overdo it using a too oil rich cream, you simply harm the skim. The thing is that too fatty cream can cork up the pores when heated (at work for instance) leading to the oxygen penetration into the skin cells.

Masks are also of super importance! They should combine both protective and vitamin qualities. The good example is an oat mask.

Prepare this mask at home using the following recipe. Take 3 tbsp warm cream or milk and add them into 1 tbsp rolled oats. Wait until they swell and then apply the mixture onto the face an snack skin. Leave it there for 20 minutes. Then rinse with warm water not soaping after.

You probably think the right way: nourishing is of grand importance. Skin requires vitamin C utterly. See if you can include into your ration this vitamin containing products as much as possible: citrus, apples, bell pepper, kiwi, cabbage, greens.

Fresh barriers, fruits and vegetables are perfect for the homemade-cosmetic masks. But the truth is that sometimes skin can bear them as they are too rich with this vitamin.

That’s why you can feel some burning or tingling on the skin during this procedure. To avoid this effect, use fruit-berry-gruels that will make you less discomfort.

Here also some recipes you are free to use in fall:

1. For oily skin: make a mixture of moistening cream, several drops of mint tincture and grated cucumber that narrows pores (very urgent for oily skin). Put this blend onto the skin for 40 minutes. Then rinse it off with warm water.

2. For combination and normal skin: grate the grapes, cabbage, and apple, pear until you get gruel and then add 1 tbsp nourishing cream. Apply the mix onto the skin of the face and neck for 40 minutes and rinse it off on the expiry of this time.

3. For dry skin: the following nourishing blend is a real godsend for dry skin. Mix up oil rich cream, citrus and sea-buckthorn. Then put it on for 40 min and then rinse either.

Our skin suffers from dust, dirt and strong wind in autumn. Thus you should pay a lot of attention to the cleaning procedures that are better to be combined with its toning. The stated below advices can help you to cope with this problem.

So, how to help a teen to go through this and cope with skin problems.
Most teens have oily skin as the sebaceous glands work actively at this peculiar age. Their skin is glossy and as a result there appear black spots on the nose, forehead, and cheeks and even in the ears.

The problem of acne most young people suffer complicates with carbohydrate and fat metabolism disturbances in the organism, gastrointestinal tract functioning disorder, various infections (carious teeth, frequent sore throats and so on.)

Teen acne passes by gradually sometimes leaving scars and dark pigmentary spots. To evade these consequences consult a cosmetologist or dermatologist and keep treating the skin at home.

The main term of the successful battling with acne is a regular skin cleaning. Wash your face in mornings and evenings obligatory: warm water with soft soap in the evening and cool water in the morning. Rub the face with lotions for oily skin after washing. Boric alcohol can be good for the procedure as well.

Vapor baths effect wholesomely if you treat your skin with alcohol containing toner.

The following procedure does well either: soap your face thoroughly and rub the acne spots tenderly with a sponge or cotton wool wetted with three-percent hydrogen eroxide or glycerine, lemon juice and water (in equal proportions). After that, rinse your face with warm water and rub it with a lotion or calendula (1 tbsp tincture to 1 glass of water).

If there is no anything like that, prepare the decoction for face skin rubbing by yourself. Take mint leaves, chamomile, St. John’s wort and milfoil (1 teaspoon of each ingredient) and pour it with 2 glasses of boiling water. Let it draw for 2 hours, then filter and add 2 tbsp 40-percent alcohol.

Herbal masks disinfect and dry the skin well. Take 2 tbsps of each of the following: grinned St. John’s wort, sage, milfoil, coltsfoot and plantain and add 10 tbsps boiling water into it until you get a gruel. Put the mixture onto the face before it cools up. Leave it there for 15-20 min and rinse it with warm water.

Yeasty masks effect as a cleaning and defatting matter: mix 380 – 385 gr. Yeast with three-percent hydrogen peroxide until you achieve a cream mixture and apply it onto the face for 10-15 minutes, then rinse it off with warm water (without soap).

Another mask that cleans the skin well: add 20-30 drops of lemon juice or cucumber into the beaten up protein.

Diet is of material importance when treating teens acne. Give preference to the food rich in protein and diminish the carbohydrates and fat in the ration. Steer clear of the spiery. Lessen salt rate. Eat vegetables, fruit and greenery as much as you want. Include diary products into your ration.

Spend more time under the sun as it acts well to the oily skin but know where to stop as the scorching sun rays can cause an irritation of the skin.

Correct healthy day regime, sound sleep, fresh-air-walks and sport influence greatly the spirit of the teen and the skin condition too.

And the last thing I want you to know for today is don’t touch the face with your hands. Take it as a rule – no clean hands – no touchings!

There are also lots of skin care cosmetic series: creams, cleaning masks, lotions and other.

Being a teen is a wonderful and unforgettable time, don’t waist your time on distracting tiny things!
