10 secrets for radiating skin: healthy inside and out!
WHY WASH YOUR FACE?
We do not want to sound like your mother scolding you after dawn with the eyes of a raccoon, but the reality, according to Dr. Pérez is that "during the day there is a production of fat on the skin of the face that favors the accumulation of particles in this. If they stay there, the pores become clogged and produce acne breakouts or blackheads " Eye: this applies to both men and women. In the specific case of women, the risk of particles remaining on your face increases thanks to makeup. So there's no excuse for not washing your face!
# 1 DETERMINE YOUR SKIN TYPE
Before choosing any type of product it is important that a specialist tell you what kind of skin you have.
- - Dry : your skin has a hard time staying hydrated, so you are prone to dryness, wrinkles and irritation.
- - Fat : your skin looks shiny and it is prone to outbreaks of acne all over the face.
- - Mixed : sebum production is concentrated in the T zone (forehead, nose and chin) and the rest is a little drier (usually concentrated in the cheeks and under the eyes).

# 2 REMOVE THE MAKEUP
If you have oily skin always choose a make-up remover based on water and if you have it dry, choose an oil-based make-up remover . The dermatologist says that the important thing is not to cover the pores with the products . Because it is such a sensitive area, your eyes should ALWAYS be cleansed with products that have a water base . Even when you die of fatigue you should definitely remove any trace of makeup in this area: "The eyes have very sensitive glands that are easily covered, causing the appearance of what is known as ' doggies '," he says.
# 3 CLEANS THE FACE
You already removed the makeup, now you have to clean the pores because it is likely that there are still very small accumulated particles. You can use neutral soap (for all skin types), soaps in foam or gel (oily skin) or an oily base soap (dry skin). Apply the product on your face and massage circular with your fingers, from the center to the outside. Rinse with plenty of cold water to close the pores.

AND THE OTHER PRODUCTS?

MAY DAY
The idea is that this cleaning routine will keep you free of pimples , but if there is still an invader on your face, the most advisable thing according to Dr. Pérez is DO NOT TOUCH IT! : "If you touch it exacerbates the problem. It lasts longer and is likely to infect the area around the outbreak . " Yes, we know you're dying to squeeze it, but the best solution is to cover it with makeup during the day and at night, remove it perfectly and apply on it a solution with acetylsalicylic acid.
