Your skin can be a sensitive subject. If you have struggled with skin problems, breakouts, wrinkles or blemishes then you have no doubt tried many different products and ideas, trying to get clean, smooth skin. This article will give you great insights to help make your skin look as great as you want it to.

Your skincare regime should include a healthy diet. Fresh fruits and vegetables are packed full of nutrients that will give your complexion a boost. Foods rich in Vitamin C can aid in maintaining the skin’s collagen, ensuring firmness and elasticity. Lycopene, which is found in red-colored fruits and vegetables, can help to protect the skin against damaging UV rays.

To make sure that your skin is the best that it can be, you should use warm water to wash it every night. Using warm water not only gets rid of the oils on your skin better, the steam also opens up your pores and allows the water and any cleaning products you may use, to get in deeper and really clean them out.

Much is made of the petite jars of eye-related skincare products. Eye cream is a great example. However, next time you are at the department store cosmetic counter, feel free to walk right by the eye cream. Eye cream is nothing more than a moisturizer with a slightly different consistency: ingredient comparisons show that they are basically the same. And unlike moisturizers, eye creams usually have no sun protection factor, which means the skin under your eyes is burning while everywhere else is protected.

Use a dry, soft, natural bristly brush, to give yourself a dry brush exfoliation treatment. Gently brush it across your entire face to eliminate dead skin before a shower. It decreases puffiness and increases blood circulation. Do this each morning and you will see tremendous results in the look of your skin.

Sometimes, the best thing to do for your skin is nothing at all. Many people, in an attempt to correct one blemish, go so far that their skin becomes quite stressed, and it shows. If your skin is angry, treat it kindly. Seek out the gentlest soaps you can find – or avoid soap altogether if you. Use an oil-free moisturizer to avoid that tight feeling, and give your skin a break!

If your skin is easily irritated, do not take it for granted that a skincare product that claims to be “for all skin types,” actually is. Instead, read the list of ingredients and avoid buying and using products that contain common irritating ingredients like camphor, menthol, witch hazel or citrus oils.

Exfoliation is good for all skin types but is especially important for people with dry skin as it can help unclog pores and remove certain blemishes. Exfoliating the surface of the skin removes all the dry and flaky dead skin cells. This allows the beautiful new skin underneath to show, giving your skin a more hydrated and healthy appearance.

Don’t forget to moisturize your hands. The skin on the hands has fewer oil glands and is thinner than the skin on most parts of the human body. As a result, hands can often become itchy, dry and cracked during the winter months or when constantly exposed to water. To protect your hands, regularly apply liberal amounts of high-quality moisturizer and always wear cotton gloves under rubber gloves when washing up.

You should protect your skin not only with lotion but also with clothing. If it is sunny outside, make sure your clothes protect your skin. Do not wear clothes that fit too tightly to allow your skin to sweat and avoid irritation. If it is cold outside, protect yourself accordingly to avoid dry and chafed skin

To avoid getting wrinkles and worn looking skin, wear skin protection while in direct sunlight. Types of protection include sunscreen, hats, and clothes such as long-sleeve shirts, pants and skirts. The UV rays in sunlight can cause severe damage to the skin, blemishes, dry skin, sunburn and cancer.

If you feel you must absolutely maintain a tan, seriously consider synthetic alternatives. Using bronzers are much better for your skin in the long run. Don’t be ashamed to get your tan out of the bottle. Avoiding sunlight will prevent signs of aging and protect you from skin cancer.

Make sure that your skincare routine involves the application of a foot lotion. Particularly in the winter months, your feet need a strong glycerine based lotion that will keep them from getting too dry. Also, exfoliate every once in a while to take off your dead skin; that will help the foot lotion work a little better.

Skip the coffee and spare your skin. Caffeine has been known to exacerbate stress, which, in turn, exacerbates acne. If you’ve decided to cut caffeine out of your life, it is best to do so slowly. Reduce your intake in half, then in half again, before you quit cold turkey. Don’t forget to watch your consumption of pop and chocolate, too!
