In your twenties your skin is strong, resilient it’s amazing but don’t take it for granted because aging happens and anything you throw on it now, it’s gonna come out later..even if it bounces back for now..
Cleansing: I can’t express how important to cleanse your face specially at night from makeup to prevent your pores from getting clogged..your skin doesn’t has to be squeaky clean as recommended in the industry or in some medias, it’s for marketing reasons..use gentle cleansers no detergent cleansers it will only strip your face from its natural oil (lipids) which are good for our skin..so look for (sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, succinate, sulfonate, sulfosuccinate, sulfoacetate or betaine) and off coarse parabens and phthalates..if you see these In your cleanser don’t get it..these detergent cleansers will cause dryness, irritation to your skin…never use hot water “your face is not a dirty dish..girls!!”, cool water is the best for your skin.
SPF: I’m sure that you red and heard everyone recommending using a sun screen..and I’m also sure that most of us SPF is a beach accessory only..as if there’s no sun rises in the rest of the year, well..sun is one of two enemies that damages the skin. So use a mineral sun screen that contains (zinc dioxide, titanium dioxide) NOT Avobenzone (parsol 1789), Octinoxate, Octocrylene, PABA..and if you are worried about the white cast caused by titanium dioxide, many brands now do a translucent sun screens..no more lady Casper effect.
If you have a dry skin use AHA and if you are oily skin use BHA.
Exfoliating: is a very important step in your skincare routine, when dead skin accumulates our faces will look dull and older, stay away from harsh scrubs and use instead AHA( Alfa hydroxi acid) or BHA( beta hydroxi acid) and don’t be afraid from the word acid..our skin is acidic and these are acids from fruits and veggies so they are gentle on the skin.
Moisturizers: I’m not gonna say much in this but a moisturized skin will always look fresh, don’t go too crazy with it, respects your skin’s natural moisturizers and try to keep your skin balanced with the amount of moisturizers.
If you have a zit in my opinion it’s fine to pop it but gently, because the more pressure on the skin the more damage and scaring might happen and as a blemish treatment use something contains cholidel sulfer not benzoyl peroxide.
So remember girls taking care of your skin is not luxury it’s a must, invest in your skin, we only have one face, your only enemies are sun and poor diet/lifestyle
• No junk food or processed
• Reduce smoking and alcohol
• Never wash your face with a bar of soap
• No alcohol based toners
• Reduce sun exposure
• Never a tanning bed (unless you are interested in experiencing a skin cancer)
