2. COMPLEXION (fix or flaunt)

Having a healthy complexion is important. It’s not only for health reasons but also for aesthetic reasons. So how can you have a healthy skin?

BASIC MUST HAVE SKIN CARE PRODUCTS:
- facial scrub
- facial wash
-
toner (for proper PH balance)
- moisturizer (SPF 15 or higher)

Depending on your skin type, you may need a different moisturizer for morning and for evening. The best advice I can give is to consult a dermatologist. They can diagnose any skin problems and give you the information about your skin.


Scrubbing should only be done once or twice a week. Overdoing it will do your skin more harm that good. Don't apply the scrub to the eyelids.

Cleansing should be done twice a day, morning and night. It will rejuvenate your skin in the morning and clean your face at night. Never wash your face with water that is too hot or too cold.

Toning is important to remove residues from the cleanser leaving your skin truly clean and it restores the right PH balance in your face. Do this every time after cleansing your face.

Moisturizing should be done every time you wash your face. Every skin type needs regular moisturizing, so even if you have oily skin you still need to use a moisturizer. In the morning, you should use a moisturizer that has at least SPF 15.


MYTHS ABOUT SKINCARE:

Myth #1 Alcohol-free toner is the best
It is not necessarily the best. It really depends on your skin type.

Myth#2 Chocolates, nuts and other greasy foods will make you break out
Nothing you eat causes acne.

Myth #3 Drinking 2 liters of water will make skin look better
In the BBC series “The Truth about Food” proved that NOT drinking 2 liters of water daily does not affect your skin. They water form food and other beverages are enough.

I’m not saying that you should completely give up water though. Water is still important.

Myth#4 Hypoallergenic products can’t cause skin irritation
Hypoallergenic lotions and cosmetics are generally safe, and less likely to cause a reaction, but that doesn't mean there isn't some possibility.


*** Use a moisturizer that is non-comedogenic (it won’t clog your pores), allergy tested and dermatologist tested. Use a water-based moisturizer during summer.
