SKIN BASICS

The skin is the largest organ of the human body and it protects the body from infection, injury, and harmful ultra-violet rays, so it isn’t a surprise that most women take good care of it. The skin consists of two main layers:

• The inner layer, or the dermis
• The outer layer, or the epidermis

The skin should be exfoliated at regular intervals to remove dead skin cells and give your skin’s surface a radiant kind of glow. The dermis, meanwhile, is responsible for giving the skin its elasticity. However, it also needs to be protected from the sun and other harsh elements. When the skin loses its elasticity, which is a sign of the ageing process, it becomes sagging and wrinkles started to form.

SKIN TYPES

OILY SKIN – prone to spots and blackheads

DRY SKIN – easily wrinkled and needs to be moisturized regularly

MATURE SKIN – a part of every woman’s ageing process

ECZEMA – is a skin disease often caused by allergic body responses

ACNE – when the oil-producing glands of the skin get inflamed, it erupts to pimples and blackheads

SKINCARE SOLUTIONS

If you have oily skin on your face, use a cleanser that contains a small concentration of benzoyl peroxide. The more polluted the surroundings, the more you will need to perform skin cleansing.

Those oils help retain moisture and serve as a barrier between the polluted environment and yourself. You can remedy this by using a lightweight moisturizer during the day, with the option of using a night cream before sleep.
3. PROTECTION – the last step for good skincare is protecting it from the sun’s harmful rays, which can cause lasting damage to your skin, as well as cause problems like skin cancer. Use a sunscreen with a minimum of SPF15 every time you go outside, especially if you’re going to a beach and will be doing some sunbathing.
