Re: Skin Care products?

Dear ShaneA655,

First let me be up front, I do have a site that promotes natural skin care products. But, there are some things you should do before spending your money on any skin care products. Look at your daily skin care routine.

How many times do you wash your skin a day? You should at least wash your skin twice a day. Pure water works fine for your body. You should use a moisturizing soap for your face, under arms and groin area. Don't use an antibacterial soap or cleanser - they will dry your skin.

Be sure you drink plenty of clean, filtered water. Healthy skin needs hydration from the inside as well as out. Right after coming out of the shower, before you completely dry your skin, apply a moisturizing cream or lotion to your skin. This helps to lock in moisture already on the skin.

Don't smoke, it causes wrinkles & dehydrates your skin.

Since you like to be in the sun and tan, you will continue to have problems with your brown spots. Like mutti said in the post, you need to use a sunblock that has an SPF rating of 15 or higher.

Some skin care companies have a moisturizer & sun block combined. Others keep them separate. Since you have sensitive skin, you might want to keep them separate. Many moisturizers contain antioxidants that help repair the skin and provide a little bit of natural sunblock.

If you limit your sun exposure, you should look for a whitening cream to help with the brown spots.

If you would like more detailed skin info, look at my bio for my site. Hope that helps you a little.
