Your face is the part of your body most exposed to the elements. It's also your most redeeming feature and forms the basis of a well-maintained appearance. To do this, you'll want to keep it hydrated, smooth and well adapted to the environment. Here's how this can be achieved.
1. Identify your skin type: Simply slide your finger across your forehead at the end of the day. If you gather any grease or debris, your skin is oily. Otherwise, it is relatively dry.
2. Adapt moisturizers and soaps to skin type: Oily skin needs lighter, less intense serums than dry skin. Dry skin may need a cleanser before application of moisturiser.
3. Washing regularly but not too intensely: You'll want to leave your skin mildly moist after washing it. Use a mild soap that's doesn't deprive your face of natural oils.
4. Adapt to the environment: Avoid high exposure to heat, sun and humidity. Look out for moisturisers with high UV protection.
5. Rejuvenate at night and remain consistent: Skin treatment products containing retinol help reinforce natural defence barriers while you sleep.
Don't let your guard down, moisturise at least once during the day and after you shower, shave or finish your workout.
