Your skin is one of the first areas of your body to will show signs of aging. The best way to stay looking young and beautiful is to take good care of your skin! Good skin care habits are important no matter what your age or gender. You can care for your skin organically with these tips:

Use Gentle Cleansers

Cleaning your skin is an essential part of good skin care, especially the skin on your face. However, many of the skin care products on the market today actually have abrasive chemicals and dangerous ingredients in them that could harm your skin more than they help. Always look for certified organic cleansers as you build your skin care routine.

Avoid washing your face with soap.  It is the wrong pH for your skin, and may strip the oil from your skin. This may seem like a good idea, because too much oil can cause problems like acne or other blemishes, but your skin needs some oil to be healthy. Soap on the face can lead to dry skin problems.

You may also want to avoid products that have artificial perfumes or dyes in them. These can irritate sensitive skin and do not add any benefit to your skin. An all-natural certified organic cleanser will have a pleasant, natural scent, rather than an artificial one!

When you are done cleansing your skin, gently pat it dry. This keeps some of the moisture on the skin.

Don’t Forget the Moisturizer

Moisturizing is an important part of healthy skin. Once you are done cleansing, follow up with a certified organic moisturizer. This will lock moisture in, and keep your skin soft and supple.

Keep in mind, there are many different organic moisturizers out there. Choose one that a) is certified organic, and b) best matches your skin type. If you have particularly oily skin, for instance, a moisturizer with a lot of healthy oils will not help. On the other hand, very dry skin may need a more intense moisturizer.  MiEssence moisturizers are available in four different skin care profiles; for dry/mature, oily, combination or sensitive skin.

Always moisturize as soon as possible after cleansing. This locks in the water that is absorbed into your skin. You should moisturize your face daily - morning and evening.

Taking care of your skin is simple if you have the right products to use. Certified organic skin care will ensure your skin is only exposed to natural oils and cleaners that will help you stay looking young and healthy. If you are looking to buy a new skin care product, read the label first! If it is full of chemicals and names you cannot pronounce, think twice about putting it on your skin! Choose a certified organic product instead.
