HEALTH & WELLNESS SPECIAL SECTION
• DO : Pick a cleanser , scrub , toner , and moisturizer that are meant for your skin type . Labels make it easy to choose between the different brands . Many brands have a line of products developed especially for oily , dry , or combination skin . It is still important to use moisturizer if you have oily skin , but be sure to look for one that is oil-free .
• DO : Look for a moisturizer or foundation that has SPF ! It is important to have something with SPF whenever you go outside , to protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun both now and in the future ( you ’ ll be so glad you did ).
• DON ’ T : Pick ! You can pick your friends , but don ’ t pick your stubborn pimples ! Although you might want to rid yourself of whiteheads and blackheads , resist the urge . It could lead to long-term damaging effects on your skin .
• DON ’ T : Leave makeup on overnight . As tempting as it is to crash after a long day , make sure to give your pores a rest from makeup . Makeup-removing wipes are a quick alternative to a full washing , to at least get a majority of the products off of your face .
• DO : Wipe down your cell phone . Bacteria can live on the surface and cause major breakouts on your cheeks and chin if not properly sanitized .
Prevention Years As a young adult , it ’ s important to continue good habits of caring for your skin . This is the prime age to prevent unwanted wrinkles that you may start to face in the next five to 10 years . Now is the time to take charge by :
• Wearing eye cream . We have seen the commercials about preventing wrinkles . But when do you have to start ? NOW ! The skin around your eyes is very thin and just a short amount of sunlight could cause lasting wrinkles .
• Applying a product with SPF to face , neck , and hands . Skipping the protection of an SPF could throw off your entire routine . Find a good moisturizer that includes protection and apply it to your face , neck , and hands . The neck and hands are often overlooked , but are prime spots for the sun to hit and cause wrinkles and other damage .
• Quitting bad habits . Now is a better time than ever to kick the bad habits you may have picked up in high school and college . The benefits of canceling your package at the tanning salon and quitting smoking / vaping would take up this entire article , so for skin ’ s sake , give them up !
Treatment Years Now is the time to treat the years of damage that the sun and other elements have caused to your skin .
• Put the right nutrients into your body . It ’ s important to make sure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs on the inside for radiant skin on the outside . This includes lots of water !
• Take cover when heading outside . SPF shouldn ’ t be skipped at this age either and should be applied daily . Try adding a hat and cover your skin to prevent overexposure to the harmful rays of the sun , even in the cooler months .
