Six Essential Skin Care Tips Everybody wants to have a radiant, clear complexion, and now that high definition cameras are everywhere, the pressure to have perfect skin at all times is very high. This article contains six tips that will help you to care for your skin, so that you don't have to fear bright lights and zooming camera lens anymore. 1. Your skin reflects your body's overall health, so try your hardest to eat a healthy, balanced diet and take regular exercise. You don't have to completely eliminate junk food from your life, but try not to overindulge. You also don't have to spend hours and hours slaving away on mechanical exercise machines at your local gym, but you should try to incorporate a short walk into your daily routine. 2. Choose a cleanser that is designed for your skin type. If you have dry skin, you should use a moisturizing cleanser, whereas if you have oily skin, you should use a clarifying cleaner. Using a cleanser that is not designed for your skin type could damage your skin. People with dry skin, for example, should never use cleansers that contain potent chemicals designed to remove oil from the skin, as these chemicals will dry the skin out further and cause it to crack and potentially become infected. On the other hand, if a person who has oily skin uses a moisturizing cleanser, the synthetic oils in the cleanser will mix with the person's own natural oils and clog up the person's pores and lead to massive acne breakouts. 3. Keep all of your face cloths, sponges and towels clean. Washing your face with a dirty face cloth could cause blackhead and spots. Furthermore, you should never share face cloths or towels with other people because you could catch some nasty skin infections. 4. Exfoliate your skin at least once a week. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells from your face that could otherwise clog up your pores and cause whiteheads and blemishes. Exfoliating your skin can also improve circulation and help to stimulate new skin growth. 5. Be cautious when buying skin care products from eBay. Although most sellers are genuine, there are a few unscrupulous sellers who are trying to sell fake skin care products to unsuspecting buyers. While you might think you have just bought the latest Clinique moisturizer for an amazing price, the product could be a counterfeit. Counterfeit skin care products often contain toxic ingredients and are
