Consider product labels and ingredients. The skin care products you choose will depend on your skin type. If you have acne-prone skin, look for cleansers and moisturizers that are labeled “oil-free” or “non-comedogenic,” as they won’t clog your pores. If you have sensitive skin, use gentle “fragrance-free” products, as products with fragrance can irritate and dry the skin. However, watch out for products labeled “unscented,” as many of these contain masking fragrances that can still irritate the skin.

Wash your face every day and after exercise. Since regular soaps often contain harsh ingredients that can dry out your skin, wash your face with a gentle cleanser and warm (not hot) water.

Pay attention to your shaving technique. For some men, a multi-blade razor may work too well or shave too close to the skin. If you experience frequent razor bumps, razor burn, or ingrown hairs, switch to a single or dual blade razor and shave without straining your skin. Before shaving, moisten skin and hair to soften skin. Use a moisturizing shaving cream and shave in the direction of hair growth. Rinse your razor after every shave and replace your blades after five to seven shaves to minimize irritation.

Moisturize daily. Moisturizers work by locking moisture into the skin, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, leaving your skin looking brighter and more youthful. For best results, apply moisturizer to face and body immediately after bathing, showering, or shaving while skin is still damp.

Check your skin regularly. A new spot or mole that is itchy, bleeding, or discolored is often an early warning sign of skin cancer. If you notice any suspicious spots, make an appointment to see a dermatologist. Men over age 50 have a higher risk of developing melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, than the general population. However, skin cancer is curable if caught early.

Wear sunscreen whenever you are outdoors. To help prevent sun damage that can lead to wrinkles, age spots, and even skin cancer, apply sunscreen to all exposed skin areas, including the scalp, ears, neck, and lips, before heading outside. For best protection, use a broad-spectrum water-resistant sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming or sweating. If possible, you can also protect your skin by seeking shade and wearing sun-protective clothing, such as lightweight long-sleeved shirts, pants, wide-brimmed hats, and UV-blocking sunglasses. For more effective sun protection, choose clothing with an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) label.

Carry hand cream and sanitizer with you

By now, you’ve grown accustomed to spraying on sanitizer every time you touch a surface in public and washing your hands when you get home. While it’s smart to follow the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it can also put a lot of strain on your hands. In fact, the same winter symptoms, like dryness or irritation, can pop up with frequent cleaning and scrubbing, says Dr. Berson.

“Antibacterial cleansers are often drying, while sanitizing gels that contain alcohol strip our body’s natural moisturizing oils,” she explains. They may also exacerbate cracking, irritation and eczema. Also apply moisturizer every time you use a sanitizer or wash. This will help repair damage and keep the skin smooth. Using moisturizer after washing your hands doesn’t negate your washing efforts. Even if your hands are dry from frequent hand washing, continue to wash your hands to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Protect your hands from temperature changes

As the temperature drops, the heat in the room rises. This makes the air in and out of your home drier than other seasons, causing your hands to become chapped, red, itchy, and in some cases scaly. This can be uncomfortable for everyone, especially those with skin conditions like eczema. To protect your hands, Dr. Berson recommends purchasing a fragrance-free, dye-free hand cream or ointment. Look for products that contain lipids (such as ceramides), moisturizers (such as glycerin and hyaluronic acid), and occlusives (such as mineral oil or petroleum jelly). When these superstar ingredients work together, they ensure your skin is moisturized and hydrated, even on the coldest days of the year. Use products that come from a squeeze tube, as these are more effective than thin lotions that come from a bottle.

“Moisturizers should be used more often [in cold weather]especially after getting your hands wet,” adds Dr. Berson. Apply moisturizer when skin is still damp after showering or washing, or if it feels dry.

apply sunscreen

It seems obvious, but we forget that the sun’s UV radiation doesn’t discriminate where it lands, and any exposed skin is at risk. If you don’t protect your hands from these harmful rays, you can develop discolored spots (called freckles or age spots), roughness, wrinkling and dryness, says Dr. Berson. The hands are also prone to precancerous lesions called actinic keratoses (AKs), which can turn into squamous cell carcinoma, the second most common type of skin cancer.

To ward off these early signs of aging and protect your health, she recommends applying sunscreen on all uncovered skin, including your hands, year-round when you’re outside. “Some brands of sunscreen are for the body rather than the face, and are usually easy-to-apply lotions. But the most important thing is that your sunscreen is broad-spectrum, water-resistant, has an SPF of at least 30, and you apply sunscreen before going out in the sun. Spread evenly.”

Celebrity care for your hands at night

When you start a night of self-care that includes wearing comfy pants and a cozy drink, add a hand-care step to your routine. Dr. Berson recommends soaking hands in warm water or milk before applying creams or ointments to lock in moisture. Then, put on cotton gloves. Turn on your humidifier before tucking yourself in and let the cream work its magic overnight. Wake up in the morning with smooth, healthy hands ready for whatever happens today or in 2021.

clean your skin Before using skin care products and before going to bed. Gentle cleansers remove dirt, oil and debris and help prevent clogged pores and breakouts. To prevent irritation, limit washing to twice a day and after sweating.

Get the most out of your moisturizer Apply it to damp skin. Moisturizers lock in moisture in the skin, making it look brighter and more youthful. Remember to moisturize your face, body and lips even if you have oily skin.

use sunscreen Helps prevent wrinkles, age spots and skin cancer. Whether seeking shade, wearing sun-protective clothing or applying sunscreen, sun protection is an important part of your daily skin care routine. Apply sunscreen to all skin not covered by clothing.

Consider using a dual-function product, such as a moisturizer with sunscreen. Make sure your sunscreen is broad-spectrum with an SPF of 30 or higher, and remember to reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating.

read label。 Look for products that say “non-comedogenic” or “won’t clog pores” for your skin type.

Consider using petroleum jelly. This inexpensive product has a variety of uses, including moisturizing dry skin and nails, and treating minor injuries.

Wear sunscreen every day. Sunscreen is one of the most important things you can do for your skin. When used correctly, sunscreen protects your skin from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can cause sunburn, skin cancer, and premature skin aging such as wrinkles and age spots. For best protection, apply a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to all skin uncovered by clothing, and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating. To save time in your skincare routine, consider using a moisturizer with sun protection. However, while cosmetics containing sunscreen are convenient, remember to reapply them for optimal sun protection. Remember that since no sunscreen can block 100% of the sun’s UV rays, it is also important to seek shade and wear sun-protective clothing when outdoors, including a lightweight long-sleeved shirt, pants, wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses for UV protection, if possible if. For more effective sun protection, choose clothing with an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) label.

Stay away from sunbeds. Just like the sun, tanning beds emit harmful ultraviolet radiation, which can lead to skin cancer. In fact, even one session of indoor tanning can increase your risk of melanoma by 20 percent, squamous cell carcinoma by 67 percent and basal cell carcinoma by 29 percent. If you want that golden glow, switch to a self-tanning product. When applied correctly, faux tanners look natural and won’t leave you with orange skin, streaks, or spots.

Simplify your skincare routine. When it comes to skincare, less is more. Using too many products, especially multiple antiaging products, can irritate the skin. Instead, focus on the basics, like a gentle cleanser, sunscreen, and moisturizer. Establish a morning and evening skincare routine that works for your skin and stick to it.

Choose skin care products that are right for your skin type. Knowing your skin type will help you understand how to take care of your skin and choose the right skin care products for you. As mentioned above, here’s how to identify and understand your skin type:

Sensitive Skin: Product may sting or burn after use

Treat your lips. Because skin cancer can form on your lips, apply lip balm or lipstick with SPF 30 or higher before going outside. If your lips feel chapped or dry, apply petroleum jelly for added moisture.

Keep your hands off your face. Every time you touch your face, dirt, germs and oils from your hands are transferred to your face. Do your best to leave your skin undisturbed throughout the day. Avoid picking, popping or squeezing pimples as this can lead to scarring.

Check your skin regularly. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, affecting one in five Americans in their lifetime. Additionally, nearly 20 Americans die every day from melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. However, skin cancers, including melanoma, are highly treatable if caught early. In fact, people whose melanoma is detected and treated before it has spread to the lymph nodes have a 98 percent five-year survival rate. It’s important to check your skin regularly for new spots, spots that are different from other spots on your body, or moles that are itchy, bleeding, or discolored, as these are often early warning signs of skin cancer. If you notice any suspicious spots, make an appointment to see a board-certified dermatologist.

Shower to relieve dry skin. A few simple changes to your bath time can reduce (or lessen) dry, itchy skin and prevent dry, itchy skin from becoming a serious problem. You can do the following:

• Wash with a mild, fragrance-free, moisturizing soap, cleanser or body wash. Doing so helps soothe rather than dry the skin. Moisturizing ingredients that help reduce dryness include Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid and Lanolin.
• Use lukewarm water (not hot water). Hot water strips the skin of its natural oils, which can increase dryness.
• Clean skin with a soft cloth. Powder puffs or bath brushes can irritate your skin.
• Keep time in the bath or shower short. You may find that you don’t need to shower every day. Keep your bath time short. Take a 5 to 10 minute bath or shower.
• Gently pat water off skin after bathing, but leave a little water on skin. When you apply moisturizer (next step), leaving some water on your skin will help moisturize your skin.
• Use a creamy, fragrance-free moisturizer specially formulated for dry skin within 3 minutes of showering and throughout the day. Moisturizing helps relieve dryness and restore skin’s protective barrier. When your skin feels very dry, dermatologists recommend using ointments instead of creams. Ointments keep the skin hydrated better than creams.

skip bath oil

Moisturizing your skin with bath oils increases the risk of slipping, so it’s best to avoid them.

Use a humidifier when the air feels dry. Heating and air conditioning remove moisture from the air. Dry air can leave your skin feeling dry and itchy.

Keeping indoor humidity between 45% and 60% can reduce dry, itchy skin. You can easily measure the humidity in the air with a hydrometer, which you can buy at a hardware or home improvement store.

Wear gloves when doing housework and gardening. Working around your house and garden can expose your skin to harsh chemicals, sunlight, and other substances that can irritate and dry out your skin.

You also reduce the risk of injuring your skin when you wear gloves.

Protect your skin from the sun. If you’re seeing more wrinkles, age spots, bruising, and discolored skin spots, you may be wondering if you still need to protect your skin from the sun.

you do! At this stage of your life, sun protection still has many benefits. It helps prevent new age spots and blotchy skin. It reduces dry, thinned skin. It can also reduce the risk of skin cancer.

To protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays, dermatologists recommend that you:

• Seek shade when outdoors. Seek shade when appropriate and remember the sun’s rays are strongest between 10am and 2pm
• Wear clothing that protects your skin from the sun. Wear lightweight long-sleeved shirts, pants, wide-brimmed hats, and UV-blocking sunglasses whenever possible. For extra protection, choose clothing that has an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) on the label.
• Use a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. When you’re outside, you want to apply it to all the skin that your clothes won’t cover.

Fragrance free. Fragrances can irritate your skin. To help heal dry, itchy skin and prevent it from coming back, stop using perfume, cologne, and scented skin care products.

Fragrance-free products are labeled “fragrance-free” on the package.

Check your skin for signs of skin cancer. Around age 50, your risk of developing skin cancer and precancerous lesions increases. This risk increases as the years pass.

When skin cancer is caught early and removed, it’s often the only treatment you need. If the cancer has spread, treatment becomes more difficult.

wash your face. Use a mild cleanser and pat dry.

Applying medication or treatment. If you use medications or other treatments on your skin, you should do so immediately after cleansing. When applying any eye cream around the eyes, use your ring finger as it is the most delicate finger and will not tug on the delicate skin.

Apply moisturizer and/or sunscreen.

Apply makeup if desired.

Wet your hands with clean, warm water.

Lather up the soap and rub your hands together to create a lather. The lather should work all over your hands and between your fingers.

Continue rubbing for about 20 seconds. To help younger children count the time, you can have them sing “Happy Birthday” to you twice.

Rinse with warm water.

Dry your hands with a clean towel.

Keep baby clean. Bathe your baby gently 2 to 3 times a week.start from sponge bath Once your baby’s cord stump has fallen off and healed, before switching to a traditional bath. When bathing your baby, use warm water and a mild, unscented baby soap and shampoo. Apply soap only to the neck and creases of the diaper area and rinse off after cleansing.

Change soiled diapers as soon as possible – even if they’re just wet – to prevent diaper rash. If diaper rash occurs, be gentle when cleaning the diaper area and apply zinc oxide diaper cream.

Trim your baby’s nails. Trim your baby’s nails whenever they get sharp to prevent scratching. Use a nail file or emery board to create rounded rather than jagged shapes. Make sure there is plenty of light when pruning.

Wash baby blankets, sheets and clothes Before and after using a fragrance-free detergent.

Protect your baby from the sun. The shade is the best way to protect your baby from the sun. If you can’t find shade, make your own using the hood of an umbrella, awning, or stroller. Dress your baby in sun-protective clothing, including a lightweight long-sleeved shirt, pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.

For extra protection, choose clothing that has an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) on the label. Minimize the use of sunscreen for children under 6 months of age. However, if shade and adequate clothing are not available, parents and caregivers can apply a minimal amount of sunscreen to all skin not covered by clothing. Choose a sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection, water resistance, and an SPF of 30 or higher. Sunscreens that contain titanium dioxide or zinc oxide are less likely to irritate your baby’s sensitive skin. Remember to reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming, as there is no such thing as a “waterproof” sunscreen.
