If possible, stay away from the sun between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, which are the times of the day when the sun happens to be the hottest. If staying indoors is unavoidable during these times, make sure to reapply sunscreen frequently and take indoor breaks every so often if you can. One good tip in knowing when it is safer to be under the sun is when your shadow is longer than you are tall, but continue to wear sunscreen just to be safe. This is because this type of skin is more elastic and flexible. Dry skin, on the other hand, will be course and rough. There will be mo moisture on the skin. This is the type of skin that is often prone to wrinkles and lines. Oily skin is perhaps the most easily identified as it tends to shine. This is often a result of overactive oil glands, which produces too much. Face cleansing should ideally be done once a day, as mentioned earlier, unless your teens are active in after school sport or outdoor activities, where intense sweating or exposure to dust and grime are part of the activity. Also avoid letting your kids use body lotion on their faces, if they feel that their skin needs moisturizing, since the skin from the neck up is more sensitive and requires delicate attention, most especially since majority of body lotions available in the market contain certain ingredients that can cause reactions on facial skin. By keeping your weight in check, you can be able to achieve a healthy skin that can veer you away from the early signs of aging. Keeping a healthy weight can be possible by eat fruits and vegetables, limiting fat and calories intake, and with regular work out and exercise. 2. Quit smoking. Smoking is truly dangerous not only to your health, to the health of those people surrounding you, and most especially to your skin. It s all about commitment Serious skin care will not amount to anything without the firm commitment from the people who subscribe to the regimen. This means that there is no room to vacillate. You cannot just start one regimen and then decide to stop after. Consistency is also needed in order to see great results. Always keep your skin clean Although you would not really know for sure if your skin is clean or not, it is always a good idea to practice a little bit of hygiene just so that you can prevent your skin from the onset of acne. Although some people may survive with only water as facial wash, most people would use soap or cleansers to help keep their skin clean.
