Skin Care Routine: Acne/Oily Skin | ilikeweylie

If your body is getting all the nutrients it needs it will be better able to keep all your systems 'in check' and that includes your skin. Moisturizing your skin also starts on the inside. Make sure you keep your body hydrated. Drink at least eight glasses of water daily. And remember, pop, coffee, or tea don't count. 

Wear a hat and put on a high SPF sunscreen. Many people think that sun is good for acne because it will dry out their skin. In fact that drying is the problem. When your skin gets too dry your sebaceous glands secrete more oil. That is there function, to keep your skin hydrated. But too much oil is what can cause unhealthy skin. 

On the other hand, if you have oily skin many acne treatments will work better for you since this is what many treatments are created to target. It's also important to remember that a healthy body is the first line of defense against acne outbreaks. If you want to keep your skin healthy you need to keep your body as a whole, healthy. 

When you have sensitive skin it means that you have finely pored skin that can become inflamed fairly easily when it comes into contact with many common things. It could be something as simple as a strong wind that will set your skin on fire and make it very dry and scratchy feeling. Other common problems for anyone who has sensitive skin include cold, dust, heat, smoke, rough fabrics, lotions, perfumes, and even some beverages and food like caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods. 

One thing you cannot overlook is your diet. This may sound like an odd thing to talk about in an article about skin care but the reality is that good skin starts on the inside. If you aren't providing your body with the proper nutrition than there is no cream in the world that can give you healthy looking, glowing skin. 

When most people think of organic products they think of things from nature, without being processed and combined with man made chemicals. There are some manufacturers out there that adhere to this code. If you really want to make sure the product you are buying is totally organic you can look for labels from a third party.
