If you start to take care of your skin when you are young then you stand a good chance of having less wrinkles and a good complexion when older. When you are in your teens hormones can make skin spot prone and difficult to look after.

To help to alleviate acne or individual spots try one of the medicated products for sale that are in most pharmacies, they contain ingredients which have been shown to help get rid of the spots.

If that fails then your doctor would be able to recommend different treatments till you can find one that works for you. One treatment worth trying is acai berry skin care creams. The acai berry is known as a super food and provides lots of vital antioxidants. In skin care cream form it has been shown to slow the ageing process of the skin and to help reduce acne. You can buy acai berry from pharmacies.

There are also various night cream products that are worth trying. The skin heals itself and regenerates whilst you are asleep so it makes sense that a topical lotion applied prior to going to bed would be of some benefit to your skin.

A beauty perfume is usually put into creams to make them smell good, and whilst this is fine for a lot of people, in some people with sensitive or spot prone skin, it can make the problem worse.

Whilst creams and ointments that do not contain perfume do not smell as good they are much better for acne break outs and won’t cause any drying of the skin.

For general skin care the best thing to do is to cleanse tone and moisturise morning and evening. There are many options for cleansing. You can use special cloths that exfoliate gently whilst cleansing, or use a cream or lotion wiped off with cotton wool, facial wipes that come in a packet or foaming cream washes.

Toners which are used between cleansing and moisturising used to be very popular a few years ago, but their popularity has waned in recent years, if you suffer from sensitive skin it can leave your face feeling tight and dry.

One of the main ways to keep skin looking good is to always use a moisturiser day and night. As with cleansers use one for your skin type and be aware that skin will become drier in the winter months and so a thicker cream may be needed then. Night creams are worth using in the night and you will see a significant improvement in the appearance of your skin after just a nights use of one.
