It's easy to forget to drink that glass of water or to cleanse yourself at night when you're tired. But over
time, those bad habits can take a toll on your skin. Each day, provide your skin with:
Plenty of water.
Thorough cleansing. You should perform this twice daily. At night, make sure
you remove all your make-up and cleanse properly before going to bed.
Balanced nutrition.
Toning. After you cleanse with your bar soap or other cleanser, make sure
you use a formulated toner or astringent to remove fine traces of oil, dirt and make-up that you may have
missed when cleansing.
Moisturizing. This is necessary even for those who have oily skin. There are
plenty of moisturizers on the market that are oil-free.
Over the course of your life, you should pay attention to all parts of your skin. Familiarize yourself with it,
so you'll notice any changes that might occur, such as different moles or patches that might indicate skin cancer. Whenever
you have a question or concern, make sure you see your doctor.
