The following list should serve as a guide for your skin care routine if you’re in your 20s. Keep in mind that establishing a routine and sticking to it is the key to naturally glowing skin.
1. Begin and end your day with a gentle cleanser. Choose cleansers which are non-drying and non-abrasive at the same time. If you’d like to test cleansers, purchase the ones in sachets or ask for samples before buying large tubs or containers.
2. Moisturizing is the most important component to prevent the premature appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Choose a moisturizer with sunscreen properties, too. Sunscreen is also an important component in reducing the development of melanoma by approximately 50 percent. A good start for you would be an SPF 30 sunscreen to block UVA and UVB rays.
3. Do not ever sleep with makeup on. Makeup residue could clog pores and likely develop into acne.
4. Include products with retinol into your skin care routine. Retinol is a Vitamin A-derivative which aids in fighting wrinkles and help prevent breakouts.
5. Exfoliate 2 to 3 times a week to rid yourself of the dead skin cells.
6. You are really what you eat so you might want to incorporate more of this food items to your daily diet:
- Berries including strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. They help protect you skin from collagen damage.
