5 Skin-Care Resolutions to Make This Year.

1. MOISTURIZE AFTER SHOWERING

We all know a warm shower strips skin of oils. Face creams and body lotions are excellent substitutes, as long as you apply them correctly. Keep body lotion right in the shower. Seeing it will remind you to apply it when your skin is damp, within ten minutes of turning off the water.

2. WEAR SUNSCREEN EVERY DAY

Doctors have long advised wearing sunscreen daily (at least SPF 30) and reapplying it often. The challenge is finding a cream that offers enough protection and doesn't feel like a lead blanket. Look for "nongreasy" or "sheer" on the label.

3. TAKE OFF YOUR MAKEUP AT NIGHT

After a long night out, we sometimes become too lazy to wipe off, and choose to sleep in our makeup. But we all have to get rid of this bad habit, and make sure we clean off our make up before we go to bed.

4. EXFOLIATE REGULARLY

By age 30, adults take a full 28 days to replenish. With all that extra time, skin cells have a chance to dry out and lose luster—unless you jump-start the renewal process by exfoliating.

5.KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF YOUR FACE

Yes, it's tempting to squeeze a pimple, but just the act of touching your face with your fingers brings pore-clogging oil and dirt to the skin.
