Limiting the amount of stress you're under can go a long way toward having healthy radiant skin. Stress is one of the most common causes of early wrinkles. Not only that, but being under a lot of stress can increase the amount of oils your skin puts out, making your face look oily. The increased level of oils on your skin will also increase the amount of acne you have.

 

One important part of skin care is to recognize your skin's lifestage, and treat it accordingly. Do you have very young skin? It will be much oilier and more elastic, responding to oil-free treatments. If your skin is over 40, you need to take a gentler approach. If you recognize that you need to deal with both oiliness and dryness, use a combination of gentle soaps and moisturizer.

 

When you want to optimize the look of your skin, don't ignore scars from past injuries or blemishes. These can be treated with either a dedicated scar treatment product or with something more natural and simple, such as vitamin E cream or tea tree oil. Reducing the appearance of scars can help make your skin look years younger.

 

In order to have clearer, cleaner skin, you should exfoliate once every other day. This washes away the top layer of dead skin, making it look younger, tighter, and healthier. Do not exfoliate too much, though, because the top layer, or "horny layer" of skin helps keep your skin clean and healthy too. If you constantly remove the top layer of skin, it will become prone for blemishes, acne, and blackhead.

 

After you've gone to the gym, try taking a shower to get rid of sweat. A simple towel will not rid the bacteria that is lodged deep down inside. It will also help to use water that's warm.

 

If you would like to reduce the size of your pores and facial inflammation, eat plenty of watercress. You can get glowing skin on top of many other health benefits from snacking on watercress often. Watercress is as good for your whole body as it is for your skin.

 

Prolonged use of oral steroids may cause capillaries under the skin's surface to dilate, which leads to noticeable redness and flushing. Care for your skin during therapy, by adding oatmeal to a warm bath and applying nourishing lotions and creams to your skin that contain chamomile, vitamin K or extract of licorice or lavender.
