Do not scrub and wash too hard. By doing this it removes the required oils that the skin needs to regenerate! When washing, wash lightly and in circular motion. This helps to keep the blood flow in your skin and does not allow the essential oils to escape.
Say no to alcohol If you use a toner, avoid products with high concentrations of isopropyl alcohol, or common rubbing alcohol. A strong astringent, alcohol strips the top layer of your skin, causing your glands to produce more oil. The result? Dry, red skin — and possibly more blemishes.
A key to maintaining radiant and healthy skin is keeping it moisturized. Moisturized skin does not burn as quickly from the sun. Always wear sun screen for prolonged exposure.
