*Article is contributed by Austin K

Skin problems have become the part and parcel of modern life for both men and women. Although there are countless ways one can counter the ill effects of modern life on their skin, the following will shed some light on a few easy-to-implement ways one can keep skin problems at bay – 

Always avoid creamy face wash

As per the opinion of a dermatologist associated with Therapie Clinic, people should use gel-based foaming face wash instead of crème-based face wash.

Why?

Well, gel-based foaming face wash is more efficient when it comes to removing dirt and impurities from your skin.It also restores the necessary oil balance in your skin thus keeping dryness and subsequent skin issues such as flaking at bay.

Sunscreen is your ally when it comes to keeping your skin healthy

You might think that you do not need to wear sunscreen when the sun is not even out.

Well, that would be a mistake as even on a cloudy day, the UV radiation from the sun penetrates the thick cloud cover and reaches the Earth’s surface.You know how harmful UV radiation is to your skin. It can not only increase your chances of suffering from early signs of ageing such as skin pigmentation and loss of natural glow but also increases your chances of getting diagnosed with skin cancer.

To keep all of the above instances at bay, irrespective of your gender, you should always wear sunscreen with SPF of 30++ formulation, every time you step out of your home.

Moisturise your skin

Using moisturisers made from natural ingredients is a great way to rehydrate your skin.Keeping your skin hydrated allows you to ensure that the oil balance in your skin is within recommended limits. Imbalances in oil content can not only increase your skin to become a hotspot for acne-causing bacteria but also can result in related skin problems like flaking and rashes.

Always treat areas in your skin that has dark patches

Dark patches tend to show up in the skin on your forehead, upper lips and cheeks especially when you live in a big city and you need to commute regularly for work.

On top of this, if you fail to take care of the aforementioned areas of your skin, the dark patches can soon become an irreversible condition.For the best results, you can use homemade face packs made using lemon and gram flour.Apply the pack in the aforementioned area, leave it on for an hour and then rinse thoroughly.

In case you do not want to go through all that hassle then you can readily head on over to a renowned skin clinic like Therapie Clinic and avail skin treatments like HydraFacial.

The skin around your eyes and on your nose could also be prone to issues like acne or dark spots. To keep these from happening, you should apply cooling packs to your eyes and face. You would not have to spend exorbitant amounts of money on artificial cooling packs for your face. You can always use a green tea bag, dip it in ice-cold water and use the same as a cooling pack for your face before hitting the bed for the night.
