TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN
As we learned in grade school , our largest organ is our skin . Our skin regulates body temperature , protects against the elements , and gives us the feeling of different sensations . Since our skin does so much for us , it is important to take care of it . A skincare routine
is important for men and women of all ages , although it will vary throughout the years .
TEENAGE YEARS
When starting your first skincare routine , it ’ s important to first determine your skin type . It ’ s pretty simple to figure out whether oily , dry , or combination . Between breakouts and blemishes , think about how your skin feels on a day-to-day basis . Here are some do ’ s and don ’ ts about treating your skin during your teens :
• 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 put on 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 keep an SPF product on whenever you go outside to protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun 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 ! This 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 .
