Amongst the biggest health problems which people are concerned about are issues with their skin. And there are certainly a few common complaints which come up time and time again, like in yesterday’s post.
In this article, we are going to discuss just a few of the most common ones, as well as the solutions that you can put into practice. While many people think that expensive products and treatments are the only option, there are actually plenty of remedies which you can undertake yourself for little or no cost.
So, let’s get started in your journey to giving your skin its young, youthful glow back again.
Dry, Flaking Skin
Right at the top of the list of issues is skin which is dry and flaking. There are many different factors which can cause this problem including the weather. While you can’t battle Mother Nature, you can take some extra steps to care for your skin.
Believe it or not, washing it more can actually end up making the problem worse. Instead, you should limit yourself to cleansing your face once or twice a day. You should be gentle when you are doing so and avoid scrubbing too hard. Also, be sure to make moisturizing a part of your daily routine.
Eye Bags and Dark Circles
The skin under your eye is particularly thin and delicate. When it is overstimulated by factors like tiredness, makeup, and crying, the blood vessels become more visible, leading to unsightly eye bags and dark circles.
Products which contain caffeine tend to be the best when it comes to reducing the main effects. You will find more information about reducing eye bags in other ways through the link. It may take a bit of experimentation until you discover what works best for you.
Breakouts
Just when it seemed like your acne days were long behind you, this is when you end up having a skin breakout. There are a number of different causes out there including hormones, workouts, and over exfoliating the area.
Of course, there are plenty of over the counter solutions out there which you can try out. A simple one which many people find to be effective is just applying a little bit of toothpaste to the problem area to dry out the spots. If you are getting breakouts on a regular basis, it is worth consulting with a dermatologist to see what sort of treatment options that they can offer you.
Excessive Oil
Your skin can end up looking oily when you produce too much sebum if your hormones are in flux. Ultimately, you want to cleanse the area without stripping away any skin. But if you over cleanse the area, this can actually end up having the opposite effect to the one that you intended.
Using a cleansing brush can help when it comes to preventing clogs in your skin cells. And when you choose skincare products, you should go for the ones which are designed to absorb oil.
Redness
Skin which looks overly red is a common issue, but there are plenty of at-home DIY solutions which you can put into practice.
For example, cucumber masks are a remedy which have been around for hundreds of years. For an added cooling effect, you could use one straight out of the fridge.
Don’t forget, your eating habits play a vital role, as well. There are certain food and drink items which add to inflammation including alcohol, spicy food, and hot drinks such as coffee. Try and limit these as much as possible while adding in plenty of cooling foods such as cucumber, peach, papaya, and spinach.
Wrinkles
Though getting wrinkles is a natural part of the aging process, you can still react to them in the best way possible. Like so much of the rest of good skincare advice, it all comes back to finding a high-quality moisturizer and using it a couple of times a day to keep your skin looking youthful and fresh.
You should also make sure that you get enough sleep on a nightly basis. This is when your skin does a lot of its regenerative work, and if you are not giving it a chance to do this, wrinkles can end up forming.
In Summary
Skin issues are a problem that everyone has to deal with, but this doesn’t mean that there is nothing that you can do. Ultimately, everything depends on the specific issue and its severity. Hopefully, this blog post has provided you with some useful solutions which you can put into practice and enjoy an amazing and healthy summer!
