Beauty magazines, television and the media tell us that beautiful skin is in. Though it is a known fact that not everyone is blest with glowing translucent skin, or with the dirt filthy enough to allow you to spend your days and nights on end in beauty and health spas, human ingenuity and time-tested methods have made sure that anyone can have their chance at having beautiful skin.
� Definitely choose your makeup carefully. Just keep switching brands until you find one that will suit you just fine.
� Definitely do not go to bed with makeup on your face. Makeup if left overnight seeps into your skin’s pores and clogs them which will eventually congest your skin. Wash your face twice right before you sleep, one for removing the makeup and another one for cleaning your skin.
� Hydrate your face all throughout the day. Hydrating your face will prevent it from drying. Even over makeup, still hydrate your face frequently throughout the day by spraying little water in your face.
� Eat healthy. Fresh foods and lots of water is good for your skin.
� Protect your skin when exposed under the sun. Put on high factor sunscreen, sunglasses and a wide brimmed hat.
� Liberate yourself from stress. Stress will show itself without shame on your face, even with all the care that you give your skin. Find time to rest to let go of all that stress.
� Be nice to your skin and treat it gently. For your facial skin, never pull, tug or scrub because your skin is very sensitive. As you clean your skin or moisturize it, be very gentle as this will lessen the chance that you’ll damage your skin and get wrinkles.
� Exfoliate regularly. But use something delicate. You can even use a tablespoon of oatmeal or sugar to exfoliate.
� Use facial masks daily. Here are some examples of homemade facial masks:
1. Mix cucumber juice and milk and apply it on you face as a cleanser. Cucumber has been known to be a natural cleanser.
