The best accessory to any outfit is your skin. And it
doesn’t matter what season. Beautiful skin is always in. It’s one of the first
things people will notice about you and one of the last things they will
forget. That’s why it is imperative to find the proper skin care regimen that
best suits your skin. Not every regimen works for every skin type, just like
not ever diet or exercise routine works for every individual. Finding a great
skin care routine is like finding that perfect tailor made pair of jeans- once
it fits, you’ll never look better.

Clean pores are the key to flawless skin
|
One thing to remember is that cleansing your skin does not
mean punishing it. Unlike working out, if it burns, it most likely isn’t good
for you. According to dermatologist, Kamala Mahibir, many skin care products like
Noxzema are great cleansers, but can
be too harsh on the skin. Simpler cleansers, like
Cetaphil, do just as good a job at ridding your skin of day to day
dirt and residue.
Cetaphil offers
two types of cleansers and moisturizers; one for oily skin and one for dry
skin.

Cetaphil is a great, simple cleanser
|
Toners are essential for a flawless appeal, especially on
darker skin tones. They even out lighter or darker spots, reduce the appearance
of blemishes, and soften the texture of the skin.
Neutrogena and
Aveeno
are two of many popular skin care products that offer an effective line of
toners.

Redefine pores
|
A popular misconception regarding darker skin tones is that
they do not need sun block. This is utterly and completely false. Over exposure
from the sun can lead to many complications, including skin poisoning or even
skin cancer, for any type of skin, light or dark. Dermatologists recommend
using an SPF of at least 15 daily.
Aveeno’s
Positively Radiant is a great option because it offers protection from the
sun and is also “clinically proven to even out tone and texture”. It allows
skin to glow from within without suffering from the glow of the sun.

Aveeno is a more natural skin cleanser
|
It’s imperative to keep pores as clear and clean as
possible, therefore reducing the size of pores.
Olay: Definity has a great
pore
redefining scrub that “minimizes pore appearance for more luminous skin”.
Put simply, the smaller your pores are, the more flawless and radiant your skin
looks.
 |
|
Aveeno is another great skin cleanser that is gentle on the skin
|
Tinted moisturizers are a great alternative to using heavy
foundations that can clog the pores and dull the overall quality of skin. They
are light weight and offer minimal yet effective coverage as well as protection
from the sun.
Neutrogena’s Healthy
Defense Daily Moisturizer and
Cover
Girl’s Smoothers are two lines of
tinted moisturizers that cover small imperfections while protecting and
treating the skin as well.
 |
|
Neutrogena offers products for every skin type
|
In the age of Botox and laser surgery, it’s easy to look to
medicine’s quick fixes to solve skin’s problems. The real answers to great skin
is far easier to find and less costly. Great skin comes simply from great skin
care.
