I want to start taking care of my body and skin now! Help?
Posted under body skin careI am female, 16 years old. I have combination and acne prone skin. I am planning to start working out and taking all my vegetarian frinedly vitamins, but what else can I do for my skin, body, specific facial care, etc? I rather start taking care of myself now than regretting it later! Thanks!
Girl, I had the same problem when I was your age.
1) Get some kind of acne medicine. If you have continuous acne, get something that’s strong. If it’s just frequent acne, get something that isn’t as strong.
Tip: If you tend to get acne on the side of your face, it may be your phone. So make sure you clean it.
2) MOISTURIZE! I can’t stress this enough. If you don’t moisturize then your face will get dry and will become irritated. If you have redness, it’s most likely irritated skin.
3) Try to use body wash that not only smells good, but has some kind of moisturizing effect on your skin. I recommend Dove Beauty Bars. They work amazingly and are hypo-allergenic. So it does not contain any harsh chemicals that could damage your skin.
4) Eating healthy makes your skin healthy. Ever heard the saying, "You are what you eat"? That is absolutely true. For example, if you eat greasy hamburgers all the time, not only are they bad for you, but they’re bad for your skin, because all that grease comes out in sweat. Once it comes out in sweat, it gets into your pores, causing acne.
