Cultivating proper skin care practices are important as we get older. When you’re little you can run around for days without washing your face and suffer no consequences. It’s a different story for us adults, we’ll suffer break-outs in our facial skin if we let a day or two pass without proper cleansing. Deciding the right skin care program and products can prove to be a challenge. So many young and older adults are frustrated with this. Here are some hints to help you figure out which products will work best with your skin.
Talk to your doctor because sometimes breakouts and other skin issues can be caused by something other than simply not taking good enough care of your face. Your family doctor will be able to clarify any other potential issues and provide good recommendations for your skin care. For example, tests could be performed that may indicate dietary modifications should be adopted. Perhaps a vitamin deficiency is the root cause. Some people see their doctors as a last resort, after all of their other attempts at skin care have failed but, if you want to be sure-sometimes your doctor can be a great starting point as well.
Discover what you skin really needs and use it in your own skin care regimen. It’s possible you need not only a cleanser but also a moisturizer and toner. Others break out if they use toner and still others find that using a moisturizer makes their face feel itchy or heavy. Then you’ll find some lucky folks who can get by with only using a quality cleanser. Then you’ll find skin types that need four products – the standard three plus a specialty for problem skin areas. If you are using only cleanser and are still prone to breakouts, consider adding in a spot treatment for acne after you finish cleansing your skin each night.
Perhaps you can find a friend with the same kind of skin as you, and then ask what they use for theirs. Even if someone is embarrassed to discuss their skin care failures, you should be able to immediately know if they’re successes, or failures. It can also work to your favor to talk to many people about these products and problems only because you may be able to find out without spending to find out.
To be sure you choose the overall best skin care product just keep a journal of your use of each product and use it to later determine which one best fulfills your needs. All you need is a pad and something to write with. Once you find a product that doesn’t meet your skin’s qualifications, remove it from your list and focus on what does work. Knowing what you have tried and how good it works is probably your best ally. After awhile you will see what your skin best reacts to. If a certain ingredient in a product breaks you out then you might want to stay away all products that contains that ingredient. If something burns your skin, then it is time to figure out what it is about the product that irritates you and steer clear of it in the future. With the information available to us today you can now find the best skin care products for your skin type with no problem. You’ll find your perfect match and you will be glad you stayed patient!
