It is important to take good care of your skin, starting from being a teenager as this is when the skin becomes likely to break out in acne and general spots due to fluctuating hormone levels.

whatever your age you will be able to find skin care products to suit your skin type. All chemists sell products specifically for skin prone to breakouts and acne.

If over the counter products fail to work, do not despair. Your doctor can recommend treatments such as the contraceptive pill for women or antibiotics for severe acne. There are also topical skin treatments they can prescribe. Buy acai berry skincare products for a more natural approach as these contain an extract of the acai berry which is renown for it’s healing properties.

A night cream that is medicated is another idea to try, you skin repairs whilst you rest so the results should be slightly better with that.

It is best to avoid products that contain a fragranced beauty perfume as these are more likely to irritate your skin causing its appearance to become more blemished in some cases.

If you do have a problem using perfumed creams, there is a lot of creams on the market which contain no perfume and are more suitable for use for sensitive skin.

When it comes to cleaning your face there are lots of options. Some people favour simple soap and water although be sure to use a special soap especially for the face otherwise it will be very drying. Others like face washes, or lotions and creams you use with cotton wool or cleansing pads to remove the dirt from your face.

Toners which are used between cleansing and moisturising used to be very popular a few years ago, but their popularity has waned in recent years, if you suffer from sensitive skin it can leave your face feeling tight and dry.

Moisturising is a vital part of any skincare routine, you need to find a cream to suit your skin type. For example use a light cream if you have greasy or oily skin and a richer cream if you have dry skin. You may find that you need to change your cream in the summer or the winter as your skin needs will change with the weather, tending to dry out in winter because of weather and central heating. Night creams are very beneficial in helping the skin heal itself.
