A good skincare regimen is essential for beautiful, non-greasy skin free from blackheads and blemishes. And this is especially important for teenagers, as they are more prone to this kind of problem. However, don't worry, an effective skin care system is easy to put into practice. You only need the right products for your skin type, the right techniques to follow and the motivation to take care of your skin every single day. Your skin will thank you, I guarantee you!
Steps
Step 1. Wash your face when you wake up in the morning
In this way the sweat and grease that may have formed during the night will be removed. It will also help you wake up a little better, as well as giving your face an anti-shine effect to start the day. When washing your face, never use soap, unless it is a specific soap to cleanse your face. It's a mistake many girls make. The normal soap we use to wash our hands and body can irritate the pores of the face and promote acne and the appearance of pimples. When you wash your face, use a specific cleanser or even simply water and a cloth, which will be sufficient to keep the skin toneless, grease and dirt at an acceptable level.
Do not worry about aggressively removing grease or other from the surface layer. Acne is a problem that concerns the excessive production of grease and obstruction within the pores, it is not a problem of surface pore obstruction
Step 2. In the morning, after having breakfast and brushing your teeth, apply lip balm
This is especially important if you have chapped lips, but even if you don't have them, it's still a good idea, at least to keep your lips looking smooth and ready to kiss.
Step 3. Spread on some hand cream
If you have dry skin on your hands, put on some cream in the morning. But make sure you don't put too much on as it will make your hands greasy and slippery.
Step 4. During the school day you don't have to worry much about your face
If your face gets really greasy, buy some specific wipes to remove the excess grease (available from Mary Kay and other companies). Don't wash your face during the day!
Step 5. The night is a crucial time for skin care, as it offers a range of opportunities to do a great deal to improve skin. First of all clean it
Purchase a facial cleansing product. Promotes the removal of dirt, grease and other substances that block pores. Most cleansers cleanse and exfoliate the skin, two steps that are part of the '5 steps to beautiful skin' (more on this later).
Step 6. After cleaning, hydration
For teenagers, this can help to have beautiful skin if done right, or lead to a noticeable appearance of acne if done wrong. When buying a face moisturizer, make sure that …
- Really be a moisturizer for the FACE and …
- Be a LIGHT formula. Light means that it is not rich and non-greasy and consequently it will not contribute to making the face more oily and it will not clog the pores. This is a very important aspect!
Step 7. Then apply the lip balm
Step 8. Then apply the lotions
If you have dry legs from shaving, moisturize them. It doesn't matter which product you buy to hydrate them. Just remember not to use a light moisturizer because it won't help. If you have dry hands, this is the perfect time to apply A LOT of hand cream, as it will take hours and hours for it to penetrate the skin.
Step 9. That's it
You have a great way to take care of your skin. Repeat steps 1 to 8 every day to give the skin a radiant appearance.
Advice
- Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. A healthy diet gives your skin a beautiful appearance.
- Drink A LOT of water! Drink as much water as possible (it is assumed that you drink 8 glasses a day). The water will make your skin appear hydrated and rejuvenated.
- As mentioned, follow the '5 steps to beautiful skin'. These 5 steps are: CLEANSING, EXFOLIATING, TONING, MOISTURIZING and PROTECTING. Dermatologists have carried out studies showing that women who follow these steps have beautiful, blemish-free skin that STAYS radiant.
- Facial care instructions should suit anyone who is predisposed to having pimples, be it a teenager or a girl.
- Another aspect mentioned above concerns the avoidance of washing the face more than 2 times a day. Many girls think that washing your face dozens of times a day will eliminate grease and reduce pimples, but that's not true at all. In reality, washing your face more than twice a day will dry out the skin, resulting in a GREATER production of grease to recover the lost one. If you wash your face more than twice a day it actually backfires!
Warnings
- According to an urban legend, not applying sunscreen to the face will help eliminate boils as the sun will dry the grease. It's not true. In reality, it works the same way as washing your face more than twice a day: you will make it dry, but in an attempt to recover the lost grease, your face will produce a greater amount. Also, not applying a sunscreen can increase the chances (in some cases dramatically) of developing skin cancer (SO it's not worth it just to get rid of a couple of pimples). Make sure you use sunscreen in the summer and simply buy a sunscreen with a light face formula.
- Make sure you are not allergic to any products you apply to your face. If you have sensitive skin, do a test by applying a small amount of the product to a limited area of the face, to be sure that no rashes / irritation appear.
- This skincare regimen is not suitable for all skin types, it depends on how greasy or dry your face tends to be. Personalize it and make it yours. This article provides only a basic indication. Consult a dermatologist for a regimen to take care of your skin that is tailor-made for you.
- Remember that your skin will not look like the one shown in the images included in this article. Skin blemishes, acne, grease and dryness are completely natural and normal. This photo is clearly the result of a photo editing. Learn what works best for you, as everyone has a different skin type. The purpose of taking care of your skin is to keep it healthy by keeping you healthy. Your skin will reflect your health.
