- Use products that stabilize the skin’s natural pH levels.
- If you are troubled by acne, select an oil free foundation. It is less likely to clog pores and aggravate your acne. Also, use water based makeup. It is easier to remove completely.
- Never squeeze black or whiteheads. This may traumatize the skin and cause scarring.
- Proper cleansing is essential for acne treatment. Use a mild cleanser to avoid irritating the skin.
- Proper humidity in the home can help with dry skin.
- Never go to bed with make-up on.
- When searching for an individualized skin care treatment plan, remember no one should offer a plan without first obtaining your medical history. Also, ask about their professional training and credentials.
- Keep it simple. Good skin care is more about preventative care than it is about treatment. Basic Cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing and protecting is the answer.
