Skin problems often tend to occur over and over again around the same area of your face. This is primarily because they are the 'problem areas' of your face and in order to take charge of the situation,
you would need to follow an effective skin care regimen.
Here are some problem areas and effective skin care tips.
Forehead
The forehead is generally prone to dehydration. Therefore fine lines are a common occurrence. In addition, many people tend to breakout along the hairline and across the forehead as well.
Skin Care:
In order to prevent this, make sure you drink lots of water throughout the day in order to prevent the fine lines caused by dehydration.
Also, you may consider using hydrating skin products that help to hydrate the skin intensely and eliminate fine lines.
Avoid cosmetics and shampoos that contain comedogenic ingredients like mineral oil, artificial fragrances, Isopropyl Mysirtate and S.D. Alcohol. These ingredients irritate the skin and lead to breakouts along the hairline.
Yet another important thing that you should do is cleanse your skin regularly to ensure that your skin is free of all impurities and make up residues.
Between Eyebrows
The appearance of vertical lines is a common concern in the area between your eyebrows. The reason being that people tend to frown a lot more in that area. Moreover, since women regularly tweeze or thread their eyebrows, this region becomes very prone to redness and flakiness.
Skin Care:
While threading or tweezing your eyebrows make sure all the equipments are clean and sanitized. Avoid too much touching with the fingertips as it will lead to increased oil production. Also, make sure you wash your hands before starting the process.
Because this area is prone to excessive oiliness, consider applying a mask or oil control skin care products.
Eyes
The skin around your eye contours is especially thin and fragile. That is why it is the first place that displays the signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines. Moreover, the eye contours have to face a variety of other problems like puffiness, under eye dark circles, milia and so on.
Skin Care:
Drink plenty of water. This ensures that your body is properly hydrated and reduces puffiness.
Use eye creams that contain beneficial ingredients that help heal specific skin problems around the eyes.
Use a special eye make-up remover to remove all the particles of eye make-up. Since eye cosmetics contain more stubborn particles, regular cleansers and make-up removers would not be able to remove them efficiently.
Product Suggestions:
Obagi ELASTIderm Day Eye Gel
uses a bi-mineral complex to crosslink elastin fibers and boost collagen production to regain a youthful appearance to your eye contours.
Obagi Nu-Derm Eye Cream
is especially formulated to prevent dryness around the fragile and sensitive skin around the eyes. It is recommended for daily use so that the sensitive area around the eyes can be supplemented with adequate moisture and soothe the skin altogether.
Cheeks
The skin on the cheeks tend to become sensitized in due course of the day. And if you don't take good care of your face, then your cheeks often have breakouts and broken capillaries.
Skin Care:
Make sure that your cosmetics and make-up products do not contain comedogenic ingredients.
One of the most common reasons of acne breakouts is keeping the phone or mobiles too close to the face. This leads to transfer of bacteria to your face that further leads to breakouts. So make sure, your mobile is clean and wash your face regularly.
Nose & Chin
The forehead and the nose together form the T-zone of your face. So both areas have more or less the same problems. The nose region also suffers from ugly blackheads and whiteheads.
Skin Care:
If you are extracting blackheads at home, be very careful because if you don't do it efficiently, you might end up damaging the skin tissues and cause broken capillaries.
Use only non-comedogenic make-up and cosmetics
If your skin feels extremely oily, then consider using a strong cleanser or astringent.
Avoid resting your hands on the chin area.
