Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. When you are outdoors , reapply sunscreen every two hours - or more often if you are swimming or sweating . Seek shade . Avoid the sun 10:00 to 04:00 , when the sun's rays are strongest. Wear protective clothing . Cover your skin with tightly woven long-sleeved shirts , long pants and wide-brimmed hats . Also consider laundry additives , which give clothing an extra layer of UV protection for a number of washes , sun protective clothing or special - that is specifically designed to block ultraviolet rays .
2. Treat your skin gently Daily cleansing and shaving can take a toll on your skin. To keep it fresh : Limit your bath time . Hot water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin . Limit your bath or shower time , and use warm - rather than hot - water. Avoid strong soaps . Strong soaps and detergents can remove the oil from your skin. Instead, choose mild cleansers . Shave with care. To protect and lubricate your skin, apply shaving cream , lotion or gel before shaving . For the closest shave , use a clean, sharp as a razor. Shave in the direction of hair growth , not against it . Dry. After washing or bathing , gently pat or blot the skin with a towel so that some ' moisture remains on the skin. Moisturize dry skin. If your skin is dry, use a moisturizer that suits your skin type. For daily use , consider a moisturizer that contains SPF .

4. manage stress. Uncontrolled stress can make your skin more sensitive and trigger acne and other skin problems. To encourage healthy skin - and a healthy state of mind - take steps to manage stress. Set reasonable limits , scale down your to-do list and make time to do the things that you like. The results may be more dramatic than you expect.
5. Read the labels. Many products and ingredients that we use every day could actually be the culprit for causing congestion and acne cosmetics ( small bumps on the skin). If you are getting control congestion that is not caused by products such as silicon -based heavy make up and make up primer , heavily pigmented or dark lipstick , blush and bronzing powders , colored moisturizing , spray tans , heavy oil or petroleum-based products such as baby oil , serums and hair sprays. Switching to a natural mineral makeup and using a exfoliating cleanser congestion will be gone in no time.

If you think your skin is constantly dry - ask for an appointment with a skin specialist to make sure that your skin routine is suitable for your skin . Of course , it is important to keep yourself hydrated through water also , to have happy, healthy skin .
7. Keep it simple . Overzealous cleansing and exfoliating can rob your skin of its natural oils and moisture that lead to dry, irritated and break prone skin . Avoid scrub corrosive course , products based on astringent and ingredients of acne , such as benzoyl peroxide , triclosan and toner alcohol for long term use . These should never be used only in the short term for the treatment of acne flare -up, the long-term use can do more harm than good
