Visiting the skin care aisle at the drugstore can be as intimidating as ordering a complicated hot coffee at the local coffee shop, it seems. From blemish control to exfoliating to deep cleansers, products today offer an often dizzying array of ingredients and not to mention benefit claims.
How do I know what is right for my skin? Should I use drugstore products or do I have to pay for expensive products? Organic or not?
Sound familiar? The good news is that finding a targeted skin care solution that’s right for you doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact, with the right guidance, it can be a whole lot simpler than ordering at the coffee shop.
Celebrity makeup artist Tasha Reiko Brown shares some of her knowledge on how to best tackle common skin care concerns. Below, she offers answers to some common questions and some helpful tips for choosing the right products for your skin. No matter your age.
4 Tips For A Healthy Clear Complexion
Do I need to Exfoliate?
One of the best ways to cleanse your skin is by exfoliating. It stimulates the skin as you cleanse, giving your face a nice, radiant glow. Try cream-based cleansers with skin-smoothing microbeads that gently exfoliate to help reveal fresh, polished skin. For best results, make little circles with fingertips in a clockwise motion. Pay extra attention to the thicker, oily areas of your face to achieve an all-over glow. You only have to use it a few days week for beautiful, healthy skin.
Help! I Need a Quick and Easy Skin Care Regime
For the woman who doesn’t do a lot with her skin, yet still needs a deep clean and effective skin care solution, try the Noxzema Original Cleansing Cream. A tried-and-true classic, it dissolves oil while conditioning skin, without overdrying. It leaves the skin feeling clean, soft and smooth in one easy step. Best of all, you can feel its signature eucalyptus-infused formula working as it deep cleans. Plus, this invigorating beauty staple comes in Original and Plus Moisturizers.
Blemishes Are Still an Issue, Especially as I Age
The key to not only beating but also preventing blemishes is to use products that deep clean but are also gentle enough to use on a daily basis. Always look for products that contain salicylic acid, which is a proven ingredient to fight acne blemishes and breakouts. Salicylic acid can be found in toners, cleansers and cleansing pads, so you can pick and choose the best combination for your lifestyle.
Traveling Interrupts My Beauty Regimen
No matter how busy you are, never skimp out on facial cleansing in your daily beauty routine. Dirty skin looks dull and sallow, and it’s more prone to breakouts. Try products that are designed for the girl on the go or just a busy mom, such as premoistened cleansing cloths that will quickly remove dirt, oil and makeup for an efficient deep clean.
Using these simple tips to demystify your most common skin care problems, your perfect skin solution should become clear.
