subject: Great, glowing skin is possible! [print this page] With a few exceptions, most people are not born with great skin and have to work at
keeping their skin healthy and clear. Some people are fortunate to have naturally
problem-free skin while others may suffer years of breakouts of even acne Calgary with
devastating consequences. Great skin comes from a routine of proper care and
maintenance, as well as healthy lifestyle choices. Great skin tips are essential to acquiring
healthy, beautiful skin and getting the best possible results.
Develop a Good Skin Regimen
1. Know your skin type - oily, dry or combination
Understand your skin type to make proper choices in skin products. If you have oily skin
stay away from lotions, moisturizers and foundations that contain oils and can clog pores.
Dry skin needs moisture, but not in the form of oils. Water-based products or natural
products that provide moisture are a better bet for your skin.
2. Cleanse and moisturize your skin
Practice a daily regular routine of cleansing, toning, exfoliating and moisturizing. Find
products that match your skin type and don't cause irritation.
3. Always remove your makeup before bed
Go to bed with clean skin. Makeup can clog your pores if you leave it on overnight. The
body, including the skin, rejuvenates during sleep promoting new cell growth and repair.
4. Use facial masques
Once a week try a facial mud, cucumber or pomegranate masque to soak up oils on the
skin's surface, soften skin and repair damage.
5. Don't bother blemishes.
Leave blemishes alone to heal on their own. After cleansing the face, apply a benzyl
peroxide product to blemishes, but picking them will only make them worse.
If you have problem skin with blemishes, acne or more serious problems, see a dermatologist. There are treatments like chemical peels or facials and excellent products that Dr Arlette may suggest to be your personal best. The Total Skin Care Centre in Calgary can
help with all types of skin problems.

you put into your body determine appearance, energy, mental stability and overall health
of skin, hair, nails and tissue. Remember things are best in moderation.
