We often talk about skin problems and cures but some people have problem free skin. So today let’s talk about those of you who have no skin problems at all. One essential is a good skin care regime. As the adage goes, “Prevention is better than cure”, so its best to take care of your skin while it is problem freemay be lucky enough to have perfect, acne free, healthy and glowing skin but remember that it is constantly exposed to pollution, dust and the harmful rays of the sun. Here are some tips to keep your skin looking fabulous in the New Year.

1) Avoid using soap; invest in a good face wash and shower gel instead. The harmful chemicals in soap make your skin dry and itchy. You can also use a cleanser and toner to clean your skin. Always wash your face before going to bed.

2) Use a moisturizer – normal skin requires a mild one. Avoid extremely rich cream; use a serum or lotion instead. Use anti-ageing creams only when needed and not because the advertisement looked good or because your friend liked it.

3) Take special care of hands, feet and lipsby cleaning and moisturising them regularly.

4) Exfoliate your skin once a week. Scrubbing removes dead skin cells and gives you a healthy glow.

5) No skincare regime is complete without proper body care. Use a body lotion immediately after you shower. Regularly use a body scrub, paying special attention to elbows and kness so as to avoid dark patches on these areas.

6) Most people are under the impression that they need to use a sunscreen only when they are out in the sun. Unfortunately. the UVB rays penetrate clouds and glass. They remain at all places and all times and are equally the same in all seasons. It is important to use a sunscreen even when indoors.
