Skin care is one of those problems that is easier to prevent that to repair, so take the time to take care of your pores daily with cleansing agents and moisturizers. The best way to accomplish this is with all-natural oils for that dry skin, and more mild solutions for skin with more of an oily composition.

Keep your skin well moisturized by applying lotion liberally every time you get out of the shower or bath. The moisture that seeps into your skin during baths and showers is lost quickly if not sealed in with a good moisturizer. A good rule of thumb is to put on lotion within 5 minutes of drying off.

During the spring and summer, try to get out of the house to get fresh air and sun as often as possible. This will give your skin the ability to take in clean oxygen and vitamin D that the sun produces. These will both do wonders for your skin and reduce the irritation that you feel from acne.

If you have excessively dry skin, you must apply your moisturizer many times throughout the day. It is especially important to apply moisturizer after washing your hands; many people find that it is easier to remember to moisturize when they have a separate bottle in their desk, nightstand, or vehicle. Reapplying moisturizer allows the skin to fully absorb and use the nutrients in the product.

Mix sunscreen into your favorite lotion to ensure you stay protected from the sun. If your lotion of choice does not have a sunscreen in it, you can mix a little bit of sunscreen in. This makes it easier, and therefore more likely, that you remember to reapply sunscreen throughout the day. Remember to look for an unscented sunscreen so that it does not clash with your lotion's scent.

Now that you know how to make inexpensive, all- natural masks for home use, you can pamper yourself and your friends with luxurious day-spa treatments any time you like. Natural masks made with fresh, wholesome ingredients will give you glowing skin without dangerous exposure to harsh chemicals. You are sure to see the difference in your skin and feel the difference in your pocketbook!
