Skincare

Health is more than exercising and eating healthy. Being clean and taking care of your skin is very important. not being clean and not taking care of your skin in the way it needs can affect how you feel and look very much, yet most people don’t have a proper skin care routine! A lot goes into having the right skincare routine for you. Everyone has different types of skin. Sensitive, dry, oily, combination. Everyone also has different problems with their skin. For example, acne, dark spots, wrinkles, redness, rosacea, eczema, etc. So it’s important you find the right products for your face. The most common facial problems are acne and breakouts. There are many medications and creams people can take or use to cure or treat their acne. In my experience, i’ve struggled with acne my entire life until about a year ago i decided to go see a dermatologist. He prescribed me a pill called spironolactone, it helps treat acne. It didn’t help me at all but he said to wait to make sure. Once we decided that wasn’t doing anything for me, he gave me a cream which didn’t help me either! I began to get frustrated, but  I know a lot of people going through this also struggles with finding products that help. What you need is a face wash that has no ceramides and contain hyaluronic acid. Try to stay away from face washes/ moisturizers that has no harsh chemicals like salicylic acid, as that can dry out your face tremendously. Face lotions that contain salicylic acid isn’t bad, just make sure its a low percentage and that it doesn’t hurt your face. But I would still say to refrain from it. Here is the routine you need to follow: wash face 2x everyday, morning and night. After you wash your face, you need to restore the moisture, so moisturize. That step is very important. ALWAYS MOISTURIZE. Then, when you’re drying off your face, PAT not RUB. You don’t want wrinkles do you? You also need to put lotion all over your body after you shower and before bed. Try finding a orange or peppermint essential oil to put in your morning lotion to wake you up! And find lavender, chamomile or ylang- ylang in your nighttime one to fall asleep. Good luck in your skincare adventures!
