Skin Care Awareness

When you are aware of your skin care the right way, you can maintain a healthy and glowing skin all through your life.

You should be aware of the changes that occur in your skin, as well as the changes in the research and technology, so that you may evaluate, analyze, and change your skin care routines, these change should be based on the environmental conditions, your age, changes in your skin type, and advancement in technology and research.

As you grow older, your body natural skin maintenance mechanisms become weaker, and skin needs are changing, in the same time more and more facts are brought to light every day. You should be aware of the changing composition and nature of skin care products, so that your choice copes the supply to the needs the closest possible way.

Awareness also means knowing how to use your skin care products. Good practices include things like applying the moisturizers while the skin is damp(after cleansing), using upward strokes for better penetration of skin care products, removing the make up before going to bed, cleansing before moisturising or applying make up, using the correct amount of skin care products, etc. Thus, increasing the effectiveness of your skin care products is another focus area of serious skin care.

Awareness means being gentle with your skin. Things like over-exfoliation, use of low quality products, and application of strong-chemical based products, contact with detergents are all harmful to your skin. Some people have a wrong notion about serious skin care. For them serious skin care is - using large quantities of products as often as possible. However, this really is not serious skin care (and that's why awareness is so important).

Awareness is also about visiting your dermatologist for treatment of skin disorders. Ignoring the skin disorders can be fatal for your skin and might lead to permanent damage. So, if the things don't improve with over the counter medication, you should immediately visit a dermatologist. Self-surgery e.g. squeezing of acne/pimples is a big no (it can lead to permanent damage of your skin).

Awareness of skin care is more about precautions and preventive measures (than treatment). Awareness is about being proactive as well as reactive. In fact, we can say that 'awareness of skin care' is about being proactive about the needs of your skin so that the need for being reactive is reduced to a minimum.
