Your skin protects your organs, bones, muscles, ligaments and everything that is on the inside. It is the largest organ that protects your system, and it serves your body to control temperature. If you want to know how someone takes care of themselves, one gander at their skin can give you a look at their lifestyle choices. So skincare is about the outside and inside of your body- take care of it!

The three steps of skincare for your face
1) Cleanser
This will be the most important part of your skincare regime. If you do nothing else, wash your face! Not just with a regular bar of soap, because this will frequently do more damage than good. Get a gel, foam or even a Neutrogena bar to wash off excess grease, dirt, etc so that you don’t clog your pores. If you want to get more specific you can get a cleaner that is based on your skin type (oily, normal or dry).
2) Exfoliate
Your skin goes through a natural process where it sheds off dead skin. Sometimes it will do this too slow, and you’ll end up with excess patches of skin on your face/body. Feel over your skin, if there are rough patches there is a chance it is time to exfoliate. A good exfoliation product will get rid of excess skin, and scrub away debris that may be lodged deep down in your pores. This step is usually only needed 1-2 a week. Even doing it once a month will dramatically increase the appearance of your complexion. Dead skin can make your complexion look very dull, and even cause breakouts.
3) Moisturize
If you want to avoid wrinkles, the best way to do it is using a moisturizer. Skin that is moisturized will stay more firm and less saggy then skin that is dried out. Also, if you want to avoid the anti-aging process and protect your health even more, consider a moisturizer with SPF protection. The sun will cause your skin to be damaged, die, wrinkles, and even can lead to skin cancer.
4) Lip balm
Use a chap stick to help protect your lips from the sun and keep them moisturized. Eventually not doing so can lead to cold sores (which sort of look like herpes) that is NOT attractive to the ladies at all. In fact, it is a repellent. There are plenty of neutral flavored and colored balms to choose from out there.

I have very oily skin and scalp. My dermatologist told me I should be glad because those with dry skin tend to have more wrinkles. Due to the excess oil & the shiny appearance it creates, I blot my face with a damp paper towel throughout the day.
At night I faithfully use an $8 bar of soap called Maximum Strength PanOxyl 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Cleansing Bar for face, chest, and back. Then I gently rub in prescription Retin A rubbing the excess on the out part of my hands to keep them from wrinkling.
In the morning I use a cotton round with rubbing alcohol to get the dirt off just from sleeping. My face is always so soft afterwards. Every so often I use an Apricot Scrub to exfoliate.
Also, those with oily skin tend to get blocked pores under the skin that really hurt. Once you feel it coming on, make a paste out of baking soda and water applying it to the spot. Also, go to bed with the paste on. By the next morning the bump will be gone as long as you apply the paste ASAP. If not, keep applying until the bump is gone. I no longer get ugly big bumps that also hurt and are hard to resist squeezing.
For my hair, I use Aussie Shampoo for oily hair. These all work great for me, so I thought I would share because it took me many years to resolve these issues. Best wishes!
