Fortunately, there are three easy steps you can take to give your face the care it needs.<\/p>\n<p>The most fundamental step of skin care is <span style=\"font-weight: 900;\">gently cleansing any excess dirt or oil from your face.<\/span> If you have oily skin, go for a lighter foam wash. If your skin is drier, use a heavier wash in a cream or lotion format. Micellar water is an excellent option as well for most skin types. You can also try exfoliating cleansers for a little stronger clean that will remove dead skin cells. Just make sure to stay away from harsh exfoliators made from nut shells, and don\u2019t overdo it \u2013 once a week is plenty.<\/p>\n<p>Next, use a <span style=\"font-weight: 900;\">moisturizer or face lotion<\/span> after you\u2019ve washed and dried your face. Moisturizing helps your skin retain water, which keeps it hydrated and healthy-looking. Your skin type matters for picking out the best product here too. A moisturizing gel is ideal for oily skin types, most facial lotions work for combination skin, and dry skin is best served by a heavier lotion or even a cream.<\/p>\n<p>Before you leave the house, apply <span style=\"font-weight: 900;\">sunscreen<\/span> to your face. The UV rays from sunlight harm your skin, and dermatologists recommend applying a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. This quick daily step can help prevent the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as certain types of skin cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Skin care doesn\u2019t have to be confusing or expensive. Adding these three quick steps to your daily routine can help keep your skin fresh, moisturized, and safe from the sun.<\/p>\n<h3>RESOURCES:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/guides\/tmagazine\/skincare-routine\">How to Build a Skin Care Routine &#8211; T Magazine Guides &#8211; The New York Times (nytimes.com)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.self.com\/story\/guide-to-skin-care#:~:text=The%20three%20basic%20steps%20of,moisturize%20every%20morning%20and%20night.&amp;text=Serums%2C%20toners%2C%20exfoliants%2C%20and,after%20cleansing%20but%20before%20moisturizing.\">Everything You Need to Know About Starting a Skin-Care Routine | SELF<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aad.org\/public\/everyday-care\/skin-care-basics\/care\/skin-care-budget\">Skin care on a budget (aad.org)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Skin care is a booming industry, full of different creams and washes and serums that all promise you healthier, younger-looking skin.
