The Essentials of Skin Care

You're never too young or too old to start taking care of your skin.The harsh environment that we live in as well as the simple ageing process can degrade the condition of your skin. Common complaints include dry and itchy/sensitive skin, wrinkles, sagging, color changes, age spots and breakouts. Fortunately there are steps that you can take to keep your skin looking and feeling its best and dramatically slow the ageing process. DermaFix Cosmeceutical Skin care includes a full range of correctives to protect and prevent the skin from further damage.

The most important way to care for your skin is to protect it from the damaging rays of the sun. Ultraviolet radiation damages the skin and can lead to wrinkles, premature ageing, age spots, and even cancer. The sun is the main cause of skin damage and premature ageing, though this does not mean you need to lock yourself inside all day! Ensure that you incorporate the use of a broad spectrum sunscreen into your daily skin care routine.

Skin Types

There are four main skin types. Different skin types may need to follow different skincare protocols to achieve healthy skin. It is important to use the appropriate skin care tips for each skin type.

  • Normal skin has the proper balance between oil and moisture, so that it is not greasy or dry. It looks clear, supple and healthy. Normal skin still needs good skin care, but requires less treatment than other skin types.
  • Dry skin cannot retain moisture as well as normal skin. It may feel tight, itchy and often flake. This skin type requires specific skin care as it is susceptible to ageing, lines and wrinkles. Important skin care tips for dry skin include the regular use of a DermaFix anti-ageing corrective and a broad spectrum sunscreen.
  • Oily skin secretes excess sebum, due to overactive sebaceous (oil) glands. Oily skin often develops spots and pimples. Important skincare tips for oily skin include thorough cleansing without stripping the skin, mild exfoliation and prevention of bacterial growth, regulation of oil gland secretion and sun protection.
  • Combination skin is a combination of both oily and dry skin. The forehead, nose and chin may be oily, and the cheeks and other areas may be dry. Each area should be given the correct skin care.

Taking good care of your skin is always important no matter what your age, but it is particularly important when it is subjected to extreme climatic conditions. Winter skin care and summer skin care may need to be slightly different from the care you give your skin during milder months.
