Winter
is here and the frost is not only nipping at your nose
but the whole face. Fortunately, with a facial skin
care routine that meets your exact skin care needs you
can be on your way to healthy, radiant skin tone.
YOUR SKIN IS DRY OR SENSITIVE IF IT:
• Stings or burns when skin-care products are used
• Is easily irritated
• Sometimes appears red and inflamed
• Feels itchy, dry, rough and flaky
Facial skin care for dry skin:
Regular bath soaps clean well but are powerfully
alkaline and irritating for both dry and sensitive
skin. Clear soaps containing glycerin and alcohol may
also be too drying. So, as an alternative of soap,
dermatologists suggest a soap-free, sensitive skin
cleansers. If your skin is very dry or sensitive, you
may need to alternate a washable lotion with a
sensitive-skin bar. After cleansing dry skin, apply a
moisturizer that is light, hypoallergenic,
preservative-free, all-purpose and water based. For
extremely dry skin, moisturize with petroleum jelly or
an oil-based lotion with 20 percent urea. After
cleansing sensitive skin, apply a light,
hypoallergenic, fragrance-free moisturizer, like
Eucerin. To check your tolerance of the product, dab
the moisturizer behind your ears for the first few
days.
YOUR SKIN IS NORMAL IF IT:
• Is usually smooth and supple
• Is generally clear/blemish-free
• Appears neither dry nor oily
Facial skin care for normal skin:
You’re one of those lucky people whose face can take
some abuse and still bounce back, looking fresher than
ever. Almost any cleanser (from regular bath soap to
sensitive-skin bars) will work for you. If you need a
moisturizer — some people with normal skin don’t!
— choose a light, hypoallergenic, preservative free,
all-purpose, water-based moisturizer after washing.
YOUR SKIN IS OILY IF IT:
• Has enlarged pores or blackheads
• Appears shiny and feels greasy
Facial skin care for oily skin:
Regular bath soap, morning and night, is fine for
cleansing — your skin actually benefits from the
drying effect of strongly alkaline bath soaps. If
necessary, use an astringent pad at midday. Because
your skin is naturally oily, you may not need a
moisturizer. But if you do, choose one that’s
noncomedogenic (won’t cause acne) and either
oil-free or water-based — Neutrogena or Aveeno, for
example.
YOUR SKIN IS COMBINATION IF IT:
• Is oily on your forehead, nose or chin
• Is dry on your cheeks and around your eyes
Facial skin care for combination skin:
Dermatologists recommend one of two cleansing routines
for women with combination skin. You can wash with a
gentle facial cleanser in the morning and use an
alcohol-free astringent on oily areas later in the
day. Or wash with a soap-free cleanser on dry areas
and with regular bath soap on oily areas. Treat dry
patches as dry skin, then apply a water-based or
oil-free noncomedogenic moisturizer to your entire
face.
Skin care tips for every type of skin:
No matter how oily, dry or sensitive your skin, always
clean gently. Use warm (not hot) water and your
fingertips (not a wash cloth). Rinse well. Then use a
towel to pat (not rub) your face dry. Wash your face
no more than once or twice a day. After patting skin
dry, apply moisturizer to skin while it’s still damp
to ensure that it is absorbed. Unless your moisturizer
provides protection from damaging sun rays, consider
applying a light sunscreen as well.
