Using excessive makeup can be bad for your skin. Any kind of makeup, including powder or foundation can clog pores. This may make irritate your skin, and make your existing condition worse. Make up can even cause an infection if you put it over acne. Try to go without any face makeup if you suffer from acne. Also, try not to use concealers or heavy toners to hide them.

Consuming watercress can do wonders for your skin. They can reduce pore size, inflammation and any puffiness on the face. Watercress will also help minimize pore size as well as many other positive health effects. To go along with all these positive effects it has on your skin, it is full of iron and antioxidants, as well, which help in other areas of the body.

Don't drink! It's okay to have one drink each day, but more than that makes pores larger and skin oilier. You can end up with clogged pores, acne breakouts, and other issues.

Pomegranate pills are a great way to protect your skin from the sun. These pills raise your resistance to the sun, and help you tan instead of getting sunburn. These pills are all natural and no side effects have been reported. But they will make your skin look better and healthier.

Always make sure that your lips are well protected. Winter air is dry and punishing. If you leave your lips without moisturizer during the winter, they could get very dry resulting in cracks, which are very painful.

If you wear sunglasses or regular glasses everyday, you should clean them weekly. There is a build up that develops on the glasses that can cause the bridge of the nose to have clogged pores and thus have acne develop. Scrubbing the bridge with some soap and water does the trick.

Use an exfoliation method three times each week for healthy skin. There are scrubs that are specifically made for facial skin. If you happen to have sensitive skin, a moisturizing exfoliant would be your best choice. Exfoliating the skin will clean pores and slough off dead skin. Exfoliate often, but make sure not to do so more than 3 times per week.

Use a sponge applicator to apply sunscreen all over your body before going outside in summer. This is preferable to applying sunscreen with your fingers. Your sunscreen will work more effectively because the sponge will increase the absorption into the top layers of your skin. It also helps prevent the greasy, stickiness that can occur if you apply too much sunscreen to your face.

You can mix your own sunscreen into liquid foundation, if it's not already in it. A lot of different make-up brands are already blended with SPF. If the one you use lacks protection, then mix your own. Add a couple drops of sunscreen, and then mix it well.

See your dermatologist any time you notice significant changes in your skin or persistent symptoms that do not clear up within a few days. Most people take skin issues lightly and end up causing a lot more damage to themselves by delaying medical care and using self diagnosed treatments.

Don't let poor skin care take over your skin, use the information you have obtained from this article and do whatever is necessary to make sure that you have properly cared for you skin at the end of every day. Happy skin leads to a happy mind and a happy body.
