General skin tips

To maintain healthy skin, skin experts recommend the following tips: 

• To protect skin from the sun, ageing, sunburn, and skin cancer, use sunscreen every day. Opt for water-resistant brands with an SPF of 30 or higher.
• Because they increase the risk of cancer, stay away from tanning devices and opt instead for natural tanning products.
• Keep your skincare routine simple and limit the number of products you use. Instead, focus on gentle cleansers, moisturizers and sunscreens, and adopt the right morning and night routine.
• Choose products that are suitable for your skin type.
• Avoid touching your skin with your hands because oils, bacteria, and other contaminants will transfer to your face.
• Regular dermatologist visits will help you maintain the health of your skin and address any issues that may arise before they worsen and spread in an unintended way.
