Serious skin care

By Jessica Page


Keeping your skin looking positively glowing and healthy all the time defines 'serious skin care'. Undergoing through the normal process of aging, your skin's defense mechanism is lessened through the years. 'Serious skin care' would mean accommodating to these changes. Your skin care regimens should be analyzed, evaluated and changed all the time. The changes should be made considering your age, skin condition changes and the situation of your environment.

'Serious skin care' is also about awareness. With the technological advancements and research, more and more facts are being brought to light everyday. Also, the composition and nature of skin care products seems to be changing with time. So trying out the new products is also a part of serious skin care. However, 'serious skin care' advises using a new product over a small patch of skin (not facial skin) first, just to see how your skin reacts to it.

Being aware that these skin care products exist is simply useless in 'serious skin care'. Proper usage of these items is also needed to achieve best results on your skin. Applying the products in upward portion, using moisturizers on a damp skin after cleansers, getting only the amount of skin item that your body needs and complete make up removal at night are just few techniques to achieve this.

Some precautions, like avoiding contact with detergents, are also part of serious skin care. 'Serious skin care' means being gentle with your skin. Things like over-exfoliation, use of low quality products, and application of strong-chemical based products, 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 isn't serious skin care (and that's why awareness is so important).

'Serious skin care' 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).

Lastly, 'serious skin care' does not give complete treatment to any sickness that you might be experiencing on your skin. It simply prevents them from happening to you. The words 'proactive' and 'reactive' are also found in the 'serious skin care' dictionary. This method is really all about precaution to lessen the need to take actual and expensive medications for your skin.
