Give your skin a happy and clean new year

Cleanliness is vital for skin care.

This article Skin Deep-New Year’s resolutions – New York Times gives you some great advice on skin care for 2008.

Some of the tips are simple – wash your face: “Doctors say that skin picks up environmental debris during the day. Washing off minute dirt particles, along with makeup, every evening gives the skin a rest from exposure to possible irritants.

‘As a general hygiene principle, it’s good to wash your face at night,’ Dr. Sundaram said. ‘But if you apply a greasy night cream after that, it is just going to clog your pores.’”

Another great tip is to discard old, used beauty products. Bacteria grows in opened jars, so throw out jars you’ve had for a year, and haven’t finished.
