  • Mist before you moisturize. Skin care experts keep telling us to moisturize but why is it that when we moisturize we still have to put some more after a while? Whenever you moisturize, you should have a bit of water on your skin to lock in the moisture. You can also get a mister for your face. There are mists that contain vitamin E and emollients. These ingredients are great for the skin.
  • Condition your skin. Jasmine extract is one of the best skin conditioners around and since this soothing oil is rich in antioxidants, it is a good choice for those who lack antioxidants in their body. If you have an unhealthy lifestyle, chances are, you lack antioxidants.
  • Exfoliating longer. If you want to exfoliate your skin more effectively, do not do it harder, just exfoliate longer than you usually do for you to rid your skin of dead skin cells.
  • Don’t drink to much. Dermatologists say that drinking too much liquor increases oil production and will also cause your pores to enlarge.
  • Use hot compress on your pimples. Doing this several times before applying 1% hydrocortisone cream to deflate the bump.
