      Understand your skin type. Is your skin dry or oily? If it has patches of both, that is called combination skin. Some products will work well on oily skin but further dry already dry skin, so you must understand your skin’s specific needs before buying products for it. If you have sensitive skin or any skin allergies, that is also something to be concerned about. You may want to visit a makeup counter and have a skin care consultant help you identify your skin type. Even if you don’t buy any products, this information will be invaluable as you put together a skin care routine.

To look good without makeup, you will have to learn to prevent and treat unsightly skin conditions, since you will not be able to cover them up.

      Cleanse your skin daily and exfoliate twice a week. If you have oily skin, use a foaming cleanser that will remove grease and oil and take away shine. If you have dry skin, use a creamier moisturizer. Exfoliation removes dead skin and polishes the surface of your skin, creating a more even tone and texture. It also helps your skin absorb skin care products, so it is a good idea to exfoliate at night before applying a night cream.

      Moisturize day and night. If you have oily skin, use a lighter serum. If you have dry skin, you can use a heavier moisturizer. Beginning in your mid-20s, you may want to look for products with anti-aging properties, such as retinol and collagen. Keeping your skin well-hydrated will keep it soft and luminous.

      Apply sunscreen when you leave the house. UV rays from the sun can damage your skin in a variety of ways. They can darken areas, leaving patchy skin. They can also darken acne scars, leaving reminders of past pimples for months or years. Use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, even on cloudy days.

      Take care of yourself. This includes getting the proper amount of rest, between seven to nine hours a night. Not getting enough sleep can cause bags or dark circles under your eyes. Eat well by making sure you eat enough calories and a varied, balanced diet. A poor diet can cause acne and sallow, dull skin. Drink lots of water. Getting at least 8 cups of water a day will keep your skin glowing and can improve skin tone.
