How to Make Skin Tone Look Beautiful

Having beautiful skin tone can help you feel beautiful.

Flawless skin is desired by many, but it can be difficult to achieve. Mother nature may curse you with acne, dry skin, oily skin or other imperfections that take away from the beauty of your skin. Don't fret, though: There are ways to improve your skin from the inside out and the outside in. If you're willing to change your habits to be good to your body, you'll be rewarded with attractive, bright skin.

Instructions

1. Eat a good, healthy diet, drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol. Alcohol makes your skin dry and puffy, but water keeps your skin plump and healthy. Eating foods high in vitamins B and E improves skin strength and elasticity. Keeping your diet healthy with lots of good proteins, the right kind of fat and dark green vegetables can make your skin look younger and fresher.

2. Determine whether your skin is oily or dry, then use an appropriate cleanser to remove oil or add moisture. Wash your face in the morning and in the evening with your cleanser and warm water. You can even skip the washcloth and use the tips of your fingers to massage the cleanser into your face, then splash water on your skin to remove the cleanser.

3. Soak a cotton pad with a facial toner and dab it on your forehead, cheeks, chin and nose. Do not rub the toner into your skin when you're applying it. Just dab and dot. Allow it to dry.

4. Rub a moisturizer that contains retinol or alpha hydroxy acids. This can prevent aging, improving your skin tone, while keeping your skin moist and preventing the uncomfortable feeling of tightness or flaking.

5. Apply only natural makeup that is non-comedogenic, so that it won't clog your pores, which can lead to acne. Avoiding foundation and letting your skin breathe will increase the radiance of your skin.

6. Contact a licensed dermatologist or spa to get a chemical peel. These peels can remove dead layers of skin from your face, which lets new skin grow quickly. You may have to get these repeated from time to time, but results can last anywhere from six months to two years.
