The skin on your face withstands a lot on the day to day. It is exposed constantly to the elements all around you, but you don't think much about it each day. All of these harsh elements can take a toll on your skin. The sun, wind, dirt and debris, makeup, and other things your skin has to go through can begin to show in the form of spots, darkening, wrinkles, acne, or other skin concerns. There are a number of things you should be doing to take care of your skin. Read on for some skincare tips.

Wash Your Face Daily

You should be washing your face daily to remove the grime and makeup your skin has endured. Don't sleep in your makeup, or in the grime from the day on your face, as it will sink into your pores and can cause issues such as clogged pores and acne. Not to mention it can sink into those fine lines and wrinkles and cause them to worsen rather than get better. Wash your face with a mild face wash that isn't too harsh and doesn't dry out your skin. You should wash your face every evening before you go to bed at night.

Apply Moisturizer Daily

Apply moisturizer to the sensitive skin on your face after you bathe and after you wash your face. Apply a thin layer of moisturizer to your skin to help prevent it from drying out and to help even out your skin texture. The moisturizer you use should be made for the skin on the face and you should use a moisturizer that is hypoallergenic and doesn't contain any fragrance, especially if you have extra-sensitive skin.

Wear Sunscreen Daily

You should wear sunscreen on your face daily with an SPF of 30 or more according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Applying SPF to your face can prevent those dark sunspots and can prevent other damage caused by the sun's rays. You can also prevent signs of premature signs of aging by using sunscreen on your face as well.

Your face has sensitive skin, but you expose it to the elements every day without a second thought. These harsh elements will begin to show on your skin in the form of wrinkles, such as spots and other marks. Take the time to care for your skin every day to prevent damage to your skin. Talk to your local dermatology clinic like Desert Dermatology & Skin Cancer Specialists about what other things you should do to care for your skin.
