A good skin care regimen doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. But it should leave your skin clean and full of moisture. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends:
Health Tips
* Regularly cleanse, treat and protect your skin.
* Use sunscreen daily, at least every 12 hours.
* Use a body moisturiser daily. During winter, apply it as soon as you get out of the shower, when skin is damp.
* Stick to one or two product lines to save money and storage space.
* A more expensive product isn’t necessarily better for your skin. Look for products that contain alpha hydroxy acid and vitamin A.
* Choose combination products, such as lip balm that also includes sunscreen.
