Let’s face it, great looking skin is a vital part of what makes you look your best. To have great skin, you need to keep a good skincare routine. Fortunately, the skincare professionals at Foothill Cosmetic Surgery Center can help you look your best.

A good skincare routine doesn’t have to take a lot of time. In fact, it only takes a few minutes, but it can take years off of your face. The first rule is to never go to bed with makeup left on your face. Makeup can clog your pores, causing inflammation and blemishes.
Your skincare routine needs to include:
- Cleaning your skin at least once each day. Only use mild cleansing products including foams or gels. Avoid using soap because it is very drying to skin.
- Pat your skin, don’t rub. Make sure you leave a small amount of moisture on the surface of your skin.
- Use an alcohol-free toner to rebalance the pH of your skin. Toners without alcohol don’t dry your skin.
- Apply moisturizer to your clean, moist skin. Moisturizers with an SPF of at least 15 should be used to give you adequate protection from sun damage.
- Use a sunscreen of at least SPF 30 if you are going to be out in the sun for an extended period of time.
You should also take steps to prevent sun damage because sun exposure can age your skin, and potentially cause skin cancer. In the summer, remember to:
- Use a sunscreen of at least SPF 30.
- Avoid being in the sun from 10AM to 4PM when damaging UV rays are the highest.
- Drink plenty of water to keep you and your skin hydrated.
- Wear a hat, sunglasses, and other protective clothing.
The winter months can also be damaging to your skin because of the cold, wind, and bright sunlight. You can protect your skin if you:
- Use a heavy moisturizing cream or lotion at least once each day.
- Avoid staying in a hot shower or bath for a long time, because it can dry your skin.
- Remember to apply lip balm to keep lips from chapping
