How to Stick to a Skincare Regimen

Skincare is important, especially as you get older. Stick to a regimen that cleans, exfoliates, and moisturizes your face.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Cleanser
• Exfoliator(scrub)
• Moisturizer
• Water
• mask
• good diet

1. Get a facial cleanser conducive to your skin type. If your skin is oily, get a cleanser that controls oil. If it's dry, get a creamy cleanser with oil. Then get a good moistuzizer also conducive to your skin type.

2. Twice a week, use an exfoliating scrub. This just means a cleanser with small beads in it to slough away dirt and pore-clogging oils. You can make some yourself too. Mix 1/4 cup of brown sugar with a couple teaspoons of milk and massage it into your face.

3. Once a week use a firming clay mask. I suggest mineral clay, which is blue and smells minty. Let it dry thoroughly, so your face is very tight, then rinse off with lukewarm water. A green colored mask will deep clean your skin, but won't firm your skin like the mineral clay.

4. Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. This will flush debris from your body giving you glowy skin all over!

5. Eat beta-carotene, found in all vegetables orange. It will give your skin a nice, smooth texture. Also, try brown rice.
   
   Don't drink or eat so much sugar, or simple carbs.

6. Always relax and try not to stress. Stress is bad. It ages you faster.

Tips & Warnings

• A good exfoliating scrub is Origins Never a Dull Moment($25, origins.com), and St. Ives Apricot scrub($7-12, drugstores).
• A good mask is St. Ives Mineral Clay Swiss mask($7-12 drugstores)
• Do a cleanser/moisturizer ritual every night with warm water.
• You don't need to do your regimen every morning; chances are your skin is still clean from the night before.
