The skin is the largest organ in the human body and one of its features is to describe what happens in the body. The first thing to do for your skin is to make sure you eat the right foods, drink lots of water, and choose good care.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Knowing Your Skin Type and Treatment
There are five common skin types, namely oily, dry, normal, combination, and sensitive. Sensitive skin may be a combination of any of these skin types, especially dry skin. So, make sure you choose a product labeled for sensitive skin.
Step 1. Dry Skin:
If your skin tends to look old, pale, or feels tight, you have dry skin. In more extreme cases, dry skin does not have enough elasticity and is very sensitive to the sun, wind, and cold temperatures. Since your skin is dry, you should make sure that it is not exposed to extreme weather for a long time and that it is moisturized at all times.
Treatment: Look for a moisturizing soap or foam that contains natural oils such as almond oil, coconut oil, or olive oil. If you like other oils, that will work too. This treatment is recommended once a week. Fill a bath with honey, milk, and half a cup of bath oil, and add boiling hot water. Wait until the water is at your desired temperature, then soak as long as you like, the longer the better. For women, make sure you exfoliate every other day and always remove makeup. Since your skin is dry, gently exfoliate every two days and moisturize your skin every morning and night before bed. When it comes to makeup, make sure you only use cosmetics that contain natural products
Step 2. Oily Skin:
If the sebaceous glands are always producing and your face looks shiny as if you just swam in a sea of oil, then your skin type is oily. Most likely you are prone to acne. Either way, don't pop pimples or blackheads.
Treatment: Your skin tends to attract more dirt than dry skin, so wash your face twice a day with an oil-lifting facial scrub and warm water. Use the scrub twice a day so you don't have to use a lot of oil-absorbing wipes
Step 3. Normal Skin:
Some people think that normal skin is combination skin, but it's not. If your skin is oily in the “T area” while dry and tight on the cheeks, it is considered normal. Skin is also considered normal if it changes according to the weather (drier in winter and oilier in summer). Skin can also be said to be normal if the condition is normal to oily or normal to dry.
Treatment: Wash your face with a cleanser designed for normal/normal to oily or dry skin. Apply an alcohol-free, hydrating toner. Apply moisturizer more often for dry skin
Step 4. Combination Skin:
Combination skin is a combination of two extreme skin types on one face. This condition occurs when there are pimples and a lot of oil in one area of the facial skin while other areas are generally dry (not oily).
- Two common examples of combination skin are dry skin with papular and pustular pimples on the cheeks or normal skin with inflamed papular and pustular acne on the chin and around the mouth.
- Treatment: Treat each area according to the description above. If your acne is severe, consult a dermatologist or esthetician.
Step 5. Sensitive Skin:
Note that you may have sensitive skin and normal, oily, or dry skin. If your skin has an allergic reaction to beauty products and is usually sensitive to sun, wind, and cold weather, it means it's sensitive. Skin sensitivity can be seen from rashes, redness, inflammation, acne, and dilated capillaries.
Care: Look for cleansers, toners, cosmetics, and moisturizers that are fragrance-free and hypoallergenic. Cleanse, apply toner, and moisturize skin with a gentle product every day. To treat sensitive skin, choose products that are soothing. Some ingredients to look for are: chamomile, azulen e, bisabolol, allantoin, lavender, camphor, calamine, rosemary, thyme, aloe vera, coconut oil, etc
Method 2 of 3: Applying Common Skin Care for All Skin Types
Step 1. Avoid the dangers of the sun
Sunscreen is the secret to youthful skin. Get in the habit of wearing sunscreen or lotion with at least SPF 15 to 30 protection every day. Remember that the sun's rays are still harmful to the skin even in the cold months like the rainy season, even in winter in western countries because the sun's rays are reflected in the snow. If you don't want to go through the hassle of applying moisturizer and sunscreen, buy a moisturizer that comes with sunscreen.
Step 2. Wash your face in the morning and evening
This is a vital step and must be remembered. Use a facial cleanser to wash your face and a washcloth or sponge. Washing your face with a special cleanser will help remove the spots.
Step 3. Exfoliate
wikiHow has many detailed guides on facials, masks, and scrubs. Never use walnut shells as they can cause micro-injury. Avoid plastic microbeads as they cause environmental pollution and food chain bioaccumulation for fish. Try different products to determine the best choice.
Step 4. Live a healthy lifestyle
Stop smoking. Tobacco is one of the few substances that is very effective in aging skin. Eat a healthy diet that contains lots of fruits and vegetables. Reduce stress whenever possible. Use a skin moisturizer. Moisturizers can replace the natural moisture and minerals lost when washing your face.
Step 5. Drink lots of water
Water will keep the body hydrated. If you don't drink enough water, your body will take moisture from your skin. This will dry out the skin and possibly lead to blotches and pimples.
Step 6. Eat plenty of foods rich in vitamin C
For example, strawberries, bananas, and other fruits are high in vitamins E, D, and C.
Step 7. Make sure you exercise a lot in one week
You have to sweat a lot.
Step 8. Get enough sleep
Teenagers need 8–10 hours of sleep and adults usually need about 8 hours. Lack of sleep will make you feel tired throughout the day and also cause eye bags that make the skin look unhealthy.
Step 9. Reconsider your makeup
Even if your skin looks good, cosmetics can cause blemishes and lead to breakouts. Make sure the cosmetics you choose have a formula that prevents clogged pores.
Step 10. Remove makeup before going to bed
Sleeping with makeup still on will lead to a buildup of bacteria, acne, and large pores. If you're lazy to remove makeup at night, you can rely on special makeup remover wipes.
Keep makeup remover wipes on your bedside table in case you tend to forget to remove makeup
Step 11. Clean your makeup tools
Wash your makeup brushes daily with lukewarm water and baby shampoo, then dry with a clean cloth. You can also sterilize your makeup kit after washing it by spraying rubbing alcohol on a clean brush.
Small spray bottles can be purchased at a cosmetic store or supermarket
Method 3 of 3: Using Home Skin Care
Step 1. Try an inexpensive homemade mask because your skin is the first thing other people see
Masks are very beneficial for the skin. For most people, wearing a Greek yogurt mask for 20 minutes a day will START clearing dark spots and pimples within a week. After about a month, the skin will be shiny. In addition, apply a mask on the lips to treat dry and chapped lip skin. Make sure you routinely wear this mask every day and apply moisturizer after.
Step 2. Wash your face with oatmeal
Oatmeal is a great ingredient for getting rid of pimples, rashes, and scaly skin. You can use any brand of oatmeal, take a handful and hold it under a stream of warm water for two or three minutes, then massage it into damp facial skin for about a minute before rinsing off. Oatmeal will feel rough like a scrub.
Step 3. Make a honey mask
Honey is also a great mask ingredient for the skin. Apply a thin layer of honey on your face and leave it on for 20 minutes to make your skin shiny and moisturized, and fight acne.
If you prefer to buy a finished product instead of making your own, you can choose an anti-acne scrub and a product that is suitable for your skin
Step 4. Try to take a bath
If you have a bathtub, it's a good idea to take a bath as it's also good for your skin. Try exfoliating first, then soaking in the tub because all the treatments you do will be absorbed better. Cold water can tighten the skin.
Step 5. Try using whole milk to remove dead skin
Whole milk is great for removing dead skin because it contains lactic acid. Pour whole milk directly into the bath water. Milk is somewhat drying, so don't soak for more than 20 minutes and make sure you apply moisturizer afterward.
Step 6. Use coconut oil to mix the bath water
Coconut oil soothes sunburned skin and is a great moisturizer. You can find coconut oil in supermarkets. Pour coconut oil into the bath water and relax (the tub will get slippery, so be careful!)
Step 7. Use the oil to moisturize the skin
Moisturizing the skin is a very important step and oils are a good choice because some types of natural oils resemble proteins and fats in the body. Some of the oils ranked as the best oils are vitamin E oil (read the label to make sure you are buying pure oil as some brands mix it with other oils), jojoba oil (also safe for the face), coconut oil, and shea butter. Olive oil (similar to oil used in cooking) is great for some skin types but makes some people's skin flaky, so pay attention to how your body reacts when you try it. If you live in a very cold area, you can use petroleum jelly to lock in moisture, but it doesn't act as a moisturizer.
Step 8. Try the spa
Many spa salons provide facilities at fairly low prices, so if you ever want to try a hot shower or steam bath, or a cold soak and then a sauna to refresh your skin, flush out toxins, and improve blood circulation, a spa is worth a try and you'll probably love it..
Tips
- Do not stretch or pull the tender skin near the eyes when applying creams or cosmetics. These tender areas show signs of aging, such as wrinkles, faster than they would otherwise if handled roughly.
- Choose a facial scrub that matches the size of your pores. The type and size of the granules in a facial scrub have a lot to do with what you do, exfoliate or irritate. Larger grains are more abrasive while smaller grains are softer.
- Lemon juice is great for reducing acne scars and fading dark colors.
- Clean your phone and other devices that may come in contact with your skin.
- Never cover facial skin with foundation. Maybe you just need a small amount of foundation in the area that needs to be covered.
- Oil-absorbing wipes can help absorb oil throughout the day, so you don't have to use powder or foundation again, or wash your face often.
- Washing your face with a mixture of brown sugar and a few drops of milk (enough to form a mud-like consistency) can remove dirt and excess oil leaving your skin feeling smoother and fresher. This sugar and milk scrub can be left on your face for as long as you like.
- Do not try unnecessary chemical products as they can be dangerous.
- Wash your pillowcases often and don't use hair products when you sleep. The combination of hair products and facial oils in pillowcases can cause breakouts.
- While a hot bath is comfortable, the skin's natural oils can be stripped away, causing the skin to dry out and lose its luster. We recommend that you take a lukewarm shower and before leaving the bathroom, wash your body with cold water for 5-10 seconds. This will make the skin shiny and the natural oils and vitamins in the skin will not be lost.
Warning
- Never let anyone squeeze or pop your pimples. This practice is very unsafe because bacteria and germs can enter through the injured skin. If you pop a pimple, apply rubbing alcohol to reduce the chance of infection.
- Be careful when using products that contain acids or peroxides, such as acne creams and whitening creams.
- Choose a sunscreen specifically formulated for your skin because some sunscreens can cause breakouts in certain skin types.
- Washing your face too much can cause stinging and redness. Washing your face too often can also damage your skin.
- Toner can dry out the skin if used too often.
