If you think that you are in your early 20’s or 30’s and you don’t need to worry about your skin then you are highly mistaken. The condition and texture of your skin depends on the way you have treated your skin and age has nothing to do with it. So if your lifestyle includes exposure to the sun, consuming junk food, caffeine and stress then your skin may not have a youthful radiant glow even though you are in your early 20’s.

A few basic rules and lifestyle changes can work wonders for your skin. Start of by eliminating all that is negative in your life. Do away with stressful situations and keep people who cause stress at bay. Stop smoking if you are addicted to nicotine. If you are a passive smoker try and avoid areas where you would be exposed to smoke.

Exfoliate your skin regularly not regularly. Use a scrub that suits your skin type. Massage your face for 10 minutes and then wash off with warm water followed by cold water. While paying keen attention to your face do not forget your neck and chest. These parts are exposed as well and tend to look dull if not care for.

Rub sour lime rinds onto your elbows and knees in order to take care of any discoloration. This part of your body as many manifolds and need to be exfoliated once a week as dirt and grime tends to stick on these parts more than others.

Every woman must swear by the CTM (Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing) routine. Wash your face 2 or 3 times a day if you have normal skin and about twice as many times if you have oily skin or an oily T zone. You do not need to wash your face with just water and soap but can use various combinations like face washes, lotions, creams or with milk. Remember that your skin is a part of you so do not wash it like you were trying to get a stain off a white shirt. Be gentle with your skin, pamper it and treat it with care. Use one of the toners available in the market or simple use rose water dipped in ice cold water all over your face and neck. Moisturize your skin. Remember that creams have the most impact when used on moist skin.
