Wear sunscreen
We all know this but we don't often stick to it. Especially in the warmer months. Wearing sunscreen is so important to keep your skin looking radiant and youthful. It protects you from premature ageing, sun spots, redness and so much more. If you want a tan-fake it. There are some great fake tans now available on the market which look like the real thing, without the long term damage caused to your skin.


Eat good food and drink Water
We all know that what we put into our bodies, shows on the outside. Our skin is no exception. Certain foods such as foods high in saturated fat can often lead to break outs and pimples. Foods high in antioxidants are helpful to the skin and help it to look youthful and retain elasticity. Any beautician will tell you that no matter what products you use on your skin, maintaining a healthy balanced diet is just as important.

Similarly, drinking the right amounts of water is also important. Water keeps the body and the skin hydrated which is important for it to keep healthy and clear from blemishes.

Find a skin care regime that suits your needs
Firstly, you need to find a suitable skin care regime that is suited to your skin type and fits in to your lifestyle. Take a little time to go online and fill in an online survey to establish what skin type you are if you are not quite sure. There are plenty to choose from, and the best thing about researching online is you can do it in your own time,at home, when it suits you.

Make sure you research the appropriate skin products to use for your skin type. Your regime should include a basic routine of cleanse, tone and moisturise. You should also have a suitable scrub (to exfoliate) to use a few times a week. Skin care brands such as Dermalogica have a wonderful range of products suitable for a variety of different skin types.

Once you have done the research, found the right products and put the regime in place you'll soon notice the difference that quality, targeted skin products can make to the look and feel of your skin. Others will notice it too.

Don't skimp on quality
Your skin is so important and caring for it through the different stages of our lives is imperative. So when you are searching for the right skin care regime don't opt for a lower price over quality. If you are going to invest in something, it should be your skin.

Caring for your skin is one of the first steps to looking and feeling great. By following the steps we've listed above you'll be on your way to healthy, beautiful skin in no time.
