Many people have a hard time making the time for proper skin care. Their lives are already busy. They would much prefer to just not think about such superficial things. These same people don't see that neglecting your skin can not only cause a hit to your self-esteem, it can harm your overall health as well. It is important to be aware of all the things you can do to nurture your skin.

If you have sensitive skin, do not buy and use lotions that are scented. The products in scented lotion can irritate your skin and could even cause rashes. Try to stick with lotions that are unscented. Brands that provide unscented lotion will not irritate your skin, but will help with dryness.

If you have dry skin, it is important that you not use an astringent or toner as part of your skin care routine. Astringents can be very harsh on your skin and the alcohol content contained in them can dry out your face instead of providing any skin care benefits.

Make sure you get plenty of sleep every night. Getting enough sleep will help keep your skin looking healthy. It will reduce those heavy, dark circles that sometimes appear under your eyes. Plenty of sleep is even crucial in some metabolic functions that deliver all important nutrients to your skin.

Water down your lotion. Dry and flaky skin can be a problem when you have acne. While lotion can ease dryness, it can also clog pores and make your acne worse. To avoid this, add a little bit of water to the lotion. Mix a little in while it is still in your palm then apply it.

If you have dry skin, try applying a few drops of jojoba oil. This oil is very similar to the oil on your skin. It is easily absorbed, and it does not clog pores. Jojoba does not evaporate quickly like water-based moisturizers, so it will help your skin retain moisture all day. A little bit goes a long way.

Seek advice from a qualified dermatologist. There are so many at-home treatments out there that it can be a little overwhelming to find what works for you. To get the best results, contact a dermatologist who can work with you to develop a treatment plan that is specialized for your skin.

In the cold months you should use a humidifier, especially if you have central heat. Central heating systems push out hot, dry air through out the building. This air can damage and dry out your skin. Using a humidifier can add moisture in the air, help you breathe better, and keep your skin from drying out.

These tips should help you take care of your skin to stay younger looking longer. With a little time and effort, you can see improvements in a short while. Skin care doesn't need to be a mystery, just give these tips a chance to reveal a healthy and younger-looking you!
