{{IX}}Keep it clean.
No matter what skin type you have, to clean your face every day. Deep cleansing is important. It keeps pores clear, skin healthy and you looking good.

  • Cleansing products should be as chemical-free as possible.
  • A good scrub is essential for healthy clean skin. It will remove dead cells and smooth the surface of your face.
  • Moisturizing is a necessity. For an intensive moisture treatment use pure vitamin E, or aloe vera oil.
Skin Care tips by Ixchel MI Hair and Make-up Artist

Keep Your Skin Toned
Being outside and in the elements of weather and sun causes damage to your skin. As skin ages, it needs to work harder to maintain its elasticity.

  • Use astringents and toners with glycolic or alpha hydroxyl acids. Use a product that is not sensitive to light.

Treat Your Skin
No matter is you have oily, dry or a combination of both there are different products that treat and enhance your skin.

  • All types of skin need to be exfoliated. This is the removal of dead skin cells that form daily. This is an essential part of skin treatment.
  • After shaving, you need to moisturize with a product that has absolutely no alcohol in it. Avoid heavy fragrant after-shave products too, as they can irritate the skin.
  • Skin that is too shiny doesn't look healthy, just greasy. Blot the excess oils away.
  • Don't forget about your lips. Find a balm that has an SPF of at least 15 in it.{{/IX}}

Protect Your Skin
Healthy skin is young looking skin. Remember that your skin is a mirror of your overall body health.

  • Avoid over exposure to the sun.
    Sun damage leads to hyper pigmentation (brown spots) which can develop into serious skin disease. Excessive exposure can also exaggerate and thicken fine lines. Use an SPF 15 or higher on all exposed skin, especially on your face.
  • Stay in shape.
    Exercise promotes capillary functioning which can decrease premature aging. It also increases oxygen to the tissues which keeps skin looking young.
  • Eat right.
    Keep vitamins such as C and E in your diet regimen.
  • Everything in moderation.
    Too much of anything is never a good idea. Stay away from excessive alcohol, smoking, fatigue and stress. Not only can these factors lead to premature aging; they also decrease facial circulation making you look older.
