1. Wash face in the morning, as well as at night. It is important to have a skin regimen because in order to get clean skin you have to work at it daily, as well as in order to keep clean skin. Your face encounters environmental pollutants in the air, weathering, as well as makeup and other cosmetics that you apply to your skin daily, that can cause clogged pores and break-outs.
2. Drink plenty of water so skin can stay hydrated and cells can regenerate, allowing for new, healthy cells to replace dead, and old ones. 8-10 tall glasses of water are highly recommended.
3. Use moisturizer after cleansing your face, because it restores natural oils that you washed away and helps skin to stay smooth and hydrated. Vitamin E-enriched moisturizers also aid in healthier skin, and helps replenish healthy skin cells.
4. As stated in tip #3, lotioning your body is also important after a shower or bath. Wherever there is skin, moisturize! Also, avoid using water on the skin that is too hot-it causes the skin to become drier (a tip I learned from my dermatologist). Use your judgment as to whether the water is comfortably warm or unbearably hot.
5. Take vitamins. They not only aid in cell regeneration (new cells replacing old cells, healing wounds quickly and effectively) and offer the skin essential nutrients, but they also give a burst of extra energy throughout the day to help one be more effective at work, school, gym, etc.
