Take care of your skin, and it will take care of you.

Taking care of your skin is the last item on most individual’s daily agenda, especially men. It is ironic considering your skin is the largest organ in your body. Our daily lives are so hectic that even most women do not take care of their skin properly.
The incidents of skin cancer are rising at alarming rates. It is said that 1 out of every 5 Americans may contract a form of skin cancer. The number of people suffering each year is over 100,000. We hear so much about global warming but they fail to tell us about the increased risk of damage to our skin.

Skincare has become very complicated due to the massive amount money to be made in skincare products. We are bombarded with products that claim to eliminate wrinkles and make our skin healthier. In order to take care of your skin you first need to know what type of skin you have. There are three basic types of skin:

Oily Skin: If you have oily skin
there will be a shine to your complexion. This type of skin is very common. Teens hate oily skin because it is an acne magnet. Oily skin attracts and collects dirt and dust molecules. This is where the blackheads and acne come from. If you have oily skin you will want to wash and clean regularly. Do not use strong chemical cleansing bars. Find a product that cleanses without all the chemicals. Wash with warm water and rinse with cold. Make sure your cleansing bar is not moisturizing as this can actually make oily skin worse.

Dry Skin: You will know if you have dry skin. It often flakes and cracks and can an even become painful. Your skin often feels very tight. It tightens even more after you have washed. It is very important not to wash with hot water. Make sure your cleanser has moisturizers in it but not alcohol. Hot, dry or even extreme dry cold will make your dry skin worse.

Combination Skin: This is the type of skin that most of us have. You can have oily areas around your nose, eyes, and chin but your cheeks and hands will often be very dry. You need to find a neutral cleanser that works to help dry the oily areas and moisturize the dry. You should use a cleanser for the oily areas and lotion for the dry areas.

Understanding what type of skin you have is the first step in skincare. Your skin is an incredible organ and you should take care of it. Start by researching the products you are already using. Chances are they are not the right product for you. If you want to try something new that will moisturize dry areas, suck up oily areas, and add a new healthy glow to your skin, check out LUSH Cosmetics.

Finding the right products for your skin type is paramount. You should also remember to protect your skin from the damages of the environment. Find the correct sun screen product for your skin type and take the travel bottle with you at all times.

Take care of your skin and it will take care of you.
