From time to time, women get tired of putting on makeup every morning in order to hide any imperfections they may have on their skin. If you are one of those women, then you should know the ways and means of fighting against stubborn flaws on your skin, and it is time to stop hiding.
Fight Against Wrinkles
As we get older, our skin loses its elasticity and flexibility and constant movements of our faces cause wrinkles to show up. However, that does not mean you have to avoid any facial expressions, nor you can stop the aging process, but you can help your skin age slower and minimize the unwanted wrinkles.
Things you should do are limiting your exposure to sun and quitting smoking immediately. Skin can greatly damage your skin in many ways, not just cause wrinkles, so make sure to properly cover your skin and wear sunscreen. Smoking, among other unwanted conditions, causes your skin to wrinkle and sag.
Do yourself a favour and change these two habits. Also, there are various cosmetic products that can help you win this fight, such as topical retinoid and alpha hydroxyl acid.
Problems With Acne
There are various beauty products that can help you stop the breakouts of acne, but these can dry out or irritate your skin. The best solution might be turning to natural and homemade remedies for treating acne. You can mix up on your own various herbal masks with essential oils and have a spa-like treatment at home.
Also, sea salt has proven itself to be useful in this tough fight when mixed into a face mask. Another great solution is making your own natural cleansing oil. For the base you can use whichever the oil you prefer (argan, sunflower, coconut etc.), add an antibacterial such as oregano, rosemary, lavender or any other and use your cleanser every day.
Pigmentation Problems
When dealing with problems with pigmentation, you need to establish what type of hyperpigmentation you have (melsma, lentigines or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). You can visit your dermatologist to give you some prescription medications such as topical applications (Kojic, Mandelic and Azelaic acid) or you can turn to using some home remedies such as lemon juice, Aloe Vera, cucumbers and rose hip oil.
Also, there are some products you can use without having to get a prescription, such as skin lightening creams which can slow down the production of melanin and remove the dark spots. Look for such products that contain hydroquinone, soy milk, cucumber or previously mentioned acids. If these treatments fail you, you can always turn to professional help and opt for skin pigmentation removal procedures which include skin peels and laser skin resurfacing.
Dry Skin
Dry and flaky skin never looks good on anyone. Not to mention uncomfortable itching. To prevent dry skin, you need to stay hydrated every day. This will keep your skin fresh and elastic. However, if you already have the problem with dry skin, you should turn to moisturizing products.
After every shower you should apply lotion on your entire body to keep the moist from evaporating. Also, avoid any deodorant and perfumed soaps, as well as alcohol products. In order to avoid any skin damaging, you should never ever scratch your dry skin. Moisturize it.
To give you skin the top notch look and freshness, you should pay attention to these few conditions that may occur. If you spot any symptoms of any skin imperfections, act fast and remain beautiful and stylish.
