1. Swap to a lighter foundation

Now, I don’t mean that you need a lighter tone of foundation, after all, I can see you through the computer! Instead what I’m talking about here is swapping a to a lighter coverage foundation, one that isn’t so heavy and so does not clog up your pores as much.




Of course, the advantage of this is that it is much better at letting the skin breathe, and it’s always easier to wash off thoroughly at night. Something that means you are likely to get fewer blemishes, and problems, because this is the time when your skin replenishes and repairs itself.

2. Get it checked regularly
Next, it’s important to remember when caring from our skin that it’s not just the stuff on our face that need some TLC, but our entire bodies too. 
With that in mind, regularly checking any moles or blemishes you have to see if they have changed in size or shape is a worthwhile activity. 



Then if you do find any you are concerned with you can find a skin cancer clinic local to you and get a medical professional to assess them for you. After all, the sooner any problems with moles or other skin blemishes can be identified and treated the better the outcome is likely to be. 
3. Clean it well each night 
Another way you can take care of your skin is to ensure that you clean it as well as you can. Of course, you will need to tread a very fine line between cleaning it thoroughly, and over cleaning and exfoliating, which can leave your skin looking red, dry, and aged. 



To that end, creams and gels with exfoliant pieces should only be used once a week, and the same goes for facial brushes. Remember too that even wash clothes can be too harsh on their own, so combine them with a soap-free cleanser, and use the super soft bamboo versions where possible. 
4. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate 
Finally, when it comes to taking care of your skin, it is absolutely essential to stay as hydrated as possible. However, this doesn’t mean just sipping water throughout the day, but taking action to hydrate the skin directly. 

Happily, this is a task which is seldom tiresome, as there are a range of different products on the market designed to assist you with this. Look out for hydrating moisturizers, and other facial care products that focus on this benefit. You may even like to combine them for the best result, and skin that is well and truly taken care of.
