Have you ever thought, "my skin is blackheads!" or "I want to get rid of pimples"? Have you ever wondered why other people have flawless skin, while you don't? Don't be jealous of him. You can also have flawless skin if you follow these steps.
Step
Step 1. Determine your skin type
Is your skin oily, dry, normal, or combination? To determine it, wash your face and then let it dry and untouched for an hour. Examine your face by wiping a tissue between your nose and cheek, which is called the T-zone:
- Normal skin will not show oil or peeling skin. The skin should feel supple and smooth. If you have this kind of skin, consider yourself lucky!
- Oily skin is characterized by the presence of oil on the tissue. People with oily skin also usually have large pores and appear a bit shiny.
- Dry skin may feel tight or show flakes of dead skin. This type of skin is closely related to small pores. Moisturizer is very important for this skin type.
- Combination skin is the most common. This type of skin shows the characteristics of the three skin types above. Usually, the skin will be oily in the T area and normal tends to be dry elsewhere.
Step 2. Buy a cleanser, toner, moisturizer and facial scrub that suits your skin type
(If you're young, you don't need to exfoliate.) You may have to test several brands before you find the perfect one. Consult the waiter at the counter makeup or skin care products. You will be able to test different formulas. They may even offer samples so you can try a product for a day or two.
- Try to get cleansers, toners, and moisturizers that are non-comedogenic. This type of product means that it will not clog pores which can cause acne.
- If you have severe acne or other skin problems such as eczema, see a dermatologist. Your doctor will give you the specific treatment you need. Chances are, any medication you get from a dermatologist is a prescription-only medication, which means it's stronger.
Step 3. Purchase a sunscreen that contains SPF 15+ for daily use
Try looking for a facial sunscreen without perfume or oil. Sunscreen will help block harmful UVA and UVB rays that can cause skin damage and cancer.
Today, many moisturizers already contain sunscreen in them. Try a variety of different moisturizers to see if the sunscreen works well and the moisturizer can keep your face moisturized and hydrated
Step 4. Use your face wash every day
You won't notice any difference if you only use it once a week. Use a scrub that will remove a layer of dead skin, only once every few days to avoid exfoliating too much skin.
- Do not use washcloths, loofahs, or other abrasive materials to wash your face. Washing by hand will reduce the chance of irritation that occurs when using abrasives.
- Wash your face once in the morning and once in the evening. This is especially important if you have very oily skin or lots of acne.
- Moisturize after every time you wash your face. Washing your face with a facial cleanser will strip all the natural oils from your face. Clean and beautiful skin is skin that is moisturized and hydrated.
Step 5. Remove your makeup
Before going to bed, always remember to remove the make-up you wear. Washing your face normally with water and a cleanser may do the trick, but some makeup may require a special make-up remover to completely clean it.
Don't be lazy to clean makeup. If you often leave your makeup on or forget to wash your face, buy some wet wipes and keep them close to your bed. That way, all you need to do is wipe your face with a tissue if you're really tired and want to go to sleep
Step 6. Eat right
A good menu is a balanced menu. Remember the food pyramid? Eat fruits and vegetables. Nutritionists recommend eating 3 servings of fruit and 5 servings of vegetables every day. Avoid foods that contain caffeine and sugar, as well as oily foods and red meat.
Step 7. Drink plenty of fluids
Try to drink 8 glasses of fluids, preferably water, every day! Avoid soft drinks that contain sugar, caffeine and coffee. Green tea/herbal tea is rich in antioxidants, which can protect your body's cells from damage.
Step 8. Exercise
Exercise helps launch your metabolism. Walking the dog or taking a yoga class can make a big difference! Healthy skin is part of a healthy body.
Exercising is also good for stress relief. Research shows that there is a relationship between a person's stress level and the severity of their acne. So if you are very stressed all the time, try doing your favorite form of exercise or physical exercise to get rid of it immediately
Step 9. Sleep
Make sure you get 8 hours of sleep every night, maybe a little longer for teens. Getting enough rest will give you more energy to go about your daily routine, and make you feel better. Smooth skin does not have big dark circles around the eyes.
Do this every day, and you will soon start seeing results
Tips
- Continue to give your skin and body the attention it needs, and you can expect beautiful, glowing skin and a healthy new self!
- Stop smoking. Smoking will cause wrinkles and age spots to appear much earlier.
- Make sure to remove makeup with a special makeup cleanser or makeup remover, because facial cleansers are only designed to remove dirt and sebum.
- Olive oil can be a great substitute for a makeup remover. This oil is also good for your skin. This can be an alternative if you are sensitive to certain chemicals. Olive oil can be absorbed by the pores so it will not cause acne.
- Use makeup that won't cause breakouts. It is recommended to use BB Cream, powder foundation, or light mineral foundation.
- Use diluted neem oil or tea tree oil to treat acne. Both of these products have antibacterial properties and are also suitable for sensitive skin.
- Use an exfoliating treatment or chemical peel using an AHA or BHA to treat acne.
- It's important to keep skin clean and healthy, so remember to maintain an adequate amount of sunscreen every day, and reapply for extra protection. Products with SPF 30 and pa +++ are protective sunscreens that must be applied.
- If you don't need to wear makeup, don't wear it just yet, because that can make blemishes appear earlier!
- Try to use moisturizer every day to have soft skin.
- Heat a little honey, then spread it all over your face, then rinse after 15 minutes.
- Try to clean, toner, and moisturize your face at night, and simply rinse your face with just water the next morning and then apply moisturizer in the morning.
Warning
- Cleaning sunscreen cream (sunscreen) every day is as important as removing makeup. Don't forget to moisten afterwards.
- If you are a teenager, choose the right formula for your skin type.
- Consult a makeup product counter if necessary.
- Always check the ingredients and choose products with active ingredients that are known to be scientifically proven to help improve the appearance of the skin.
- Look for sunscreens, especially those used for the face. Sunscreen for the face is more elegant and cosmetic-like, and less likely to cause breakouts. This is especially important if you use a strong SPF.
