Step
Method 1 of 2: Daily Skin Care
Step 1. Wash your face every morning when you wake up
In addition to removing sweat and oil that has accumulated during sleep at night, you will feel fresher and your face will not shine in the morning. Use soap with the right formula for facial skin, instead of other soaps. Many young women choose the wrong soap to wash their faces. Soaps that are commonly used when bathing or washing hands can irritate the pores of the face and trigger acne or blackheads! When cleaning your face, use facial soap or simply wet your face with clean water and then dry with a soft cloth. This method is able to remove dead skin, oil, and sweat without damaging the skin.
- Do not wash your face too often to remove oil or sweat. Acne is triggered by excessive oil secretion and clogged pores, rather than dirt that sticks to the face.
- Don't forget to use sunscreen. You have to protect your skin with sunscreen in the summer or winter because when you are outside, the sun's radiation is still harmful to the skin even though the air is very cold. So, make it a habit to protect the skin since adolescence so that the skin remains healthy until old age.
Step 2. Apply lip balm every morning after breakfast and brushing your teeth
This step is very useful in protecting the skin of the lips so that they remain soft and the smile is more charming, especially if the skin on the lips is very dry or easily peels off.
Step 3. Grease hands with cream
If the skin on your hands is dry, apply the cream on the skin every morning, but not too much so that your hands are not slippery and greasy.
Step 4. Use a facial oil-absorbing tissue if your face is very oily so you can move around comfortably all day
These wipes can be purchased at cosmetic stores or supermarkets. Don't wash your face during the day!
(This will be discussed further).
Step 5. Clean your face with a skin cleansing product before going to bed at night
Night is an important time to take care of your skin because there are many useful things you can do to keep your skin healthy. Skin cleansers are useful for removing sweat, oil, and pore blockages. In addition to cleaning, this product is useful for exfoliating facial skin.
Step 6. Moisturize facial skin after cleansing
For teens, this step keeps skin healthy and attractive if done right, but triggers breakouts if wrong. When buying a facial moisturizer, make sure you choose a product that…
- works moisturizing face.
- in the form of a lotion, not thick, and not greasy to prevent clogged pores and oily face. This plays a very important role so that the face is free of acne!
Step 7. Apply lip balm after moisturizing your face
Step 8. Lubricate feet with moisturizer
Get in the habit of applying moisturizer to treat dry skin on your feet. You are free to choose foot moisturizer products. If the skin on your hands is dry, apply as much moisturizing cream as possible before going to bed at night because the moisturizer can soak into the skin overnight.
Step 9. Perform steps 1-8 daily to keep skin soft, healthy and attractive
Method 2 of 2: Taking Special Care of Skin
Step 1. Exfoliate your facial skin once a week
Do not exfoliate the skin every day so that the face does not get irritated and the skin does not become thin. Facial skin exfoliation is enough to do once every 1-2 weeks to remove dead skin and maintain skin softness. You can use home or manufactured exfoliants. Wet facial skin, take the exfoliant with fingertips, apply on facial skin evenly, then massage face gently for 1 minute. Then, rinse your face with enough warm water.
- Make your own exfoliant by putting sugar and honey in a bowl and mixing well.
- To exfoliate sensitive skin, use a mixture of oatmeal and honey or liquid milk.
Step 2. Use a face mask once every 2-4 weeks
Face masks have many benefits (depending on the ingredients used), such as cleaning facial skin from toxins, removing pore blockages, and removing dead skin cells and dirt. Use a face mask every 2-4 weeks because the skin becomes dry if the mask is used more often. If you want to use a face mask, wet your face with water, take the mask with your fingertips, apply it on your face evenly. Let it dry for 20-30 minutes (until it doesn't feel sticky to the touch) then remove the mask using a soft cloth dampened in warm water.
- Use a face mask to cure acne. Put the mask on the pimple and let it dry overnight. When you wake up in the morning, rinse your face to remove the mask. The skin that is red and swollen due to acne will be much reduced.
- Mud face masks are the most popular, but there are many other ingredients that can be used as face masks.
Step 3. Use a pore cleansing strip to remove blackheads
This strip is made of cotton and one side is glued. Stick the adhesive side to the skin and when the strip is pulled, the blackheads come off too. Pore cleansing strips are usually used only if the face is prone to acne and are usually placed on the nose or chin, but can be used on other parts of the body where blackheads are present. Read the instructions for use on the packaging. After removing the strips, rinse your face with water and then apply moisturizer.
Tips
- Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables every day. Skin remains healthy and attractive if you adopt a healthy diet.
- Drink enough many water!. Try to drink as much water as possible (at least 8 glasses a day). Water keeps skin moisturized and youthful!
- There is a misconception that washing your face as often as possible can remove oil and reduce acne! Instead, it makes facial skin dry so that oil secretion increases to replace lost oil.
- Cleanses, exfoliates, freshens, moisturizes and protects the face to keep skin healthy and attractive. Dermatologists have conducted research showing that women who do this step have soft and healthy skin.
- Don't touch your face with dirty hands.
- Avoid cosmetics and facial care products that use a lot of chemicals.
- Clean your face with facial soap, instead of bath soap. Facial soap is made from ingredients that are suitable for facial skin so that it does not damage the skin. Bath soap ingredients are not suitable for the face.
- Use an anti-acne gel to treat acne. Use Vaseline to moisturize the skin.
- Do not touch or squeeze the pimple so that the problem does not get worse. Besides being unhygienic, this action can cause scarring.
- You don't need to apply makeup if you want to exercise.
Warning
- Don't believe the myth that acne will go away if you don't protect your skin with sunscreen because the sun will strip your face of oil. This is the same effect as washing your face more than 2 times a day which makes facial skin dry so that oil secretion increases to replace lost oil. Also, it's not worth it if you don't use sunscreen just to get rid of a few pimples, while the risk of skin cancer increases (sometimes dramatically). You should use sunscreen, especially in summer. Buy an oil-free sunscreen to protect your skin.
