    How to Improve Skin Complexion

  1. Step 1

    Visit a dermatologist. If you have problem skin, a dermatologist can diagnose any skin disorders such as eczema, rashes, acne, dermatitis, skin cancers, and many other skin problems. Knowing what the problem is can help you treat it. Dermatologists will prescribe you medications, creams, or recommend lotions and other products for you to use to help improve the condition of your skin.

  2. Step 2

    Wash, exfoliate, and moisturize your skin daily. Washing helps to keep the skin clean while exfoliating removes dead skin cells. It’s important to keep your skin moisturized to prevent it from being too dry. Look for products made specifically for your skin type. There are body washes, lotions, soaps, shave gels, and face care products made for all skin types.

  3. Step 3

    Drink plenty of water and eat fruits and vegetables. Natural foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables contain vitamins and antioxidants that are good for our skin. Water keeps our system flushed out and moisturizes it from the inside.

  4. Step 4

    Be careful when using certain types of laundry detergents. This is especially important for people with any kind of eczema, dermatitis, or sensitive skin. Some detergents irritate the skin and can cause it to break out. Use hypoallergenic products whenever possible. Use mild soaps and cleaning products which are less likely to irritate your skin.

  5. Step 5

    Use sunscreen to protect against sunburn. Going out in the sun without protecting your skin from the UV rays from the sun can result in your skin being sunburned. Use sunscreen with SPF-15 or higher.
