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.
