Skin Care Reccomendations

Skin care recommendations from dermatologists and shower wash maker, Tree Hut.

Are you overwhelmed by all the choices in the skin care aisle of your local drugstore or supermarket?  From shower wash to micro-dermabrasion, there is a myriad of choices. How do you know what and how much you need? 

The Good News about Skin Care

The good news is skin care can be simple and, generally, good skin care involves just three steps.

• Cleanse -  Rids of all of the toxins and dirt that you are exposed to on a daily basis.
• Moisturize - Helps hydrate skin. Restores lost moisture.
• Protect - Use this to fight off aging, and skin cancer. Best form of protection for the skin.

Step 1: Find a cleanser that works for you.

Educate yourself concerning cleansing options:

• Bar soaps - The most irritating cleansers but the best to get rid of dirt and grime

• Liquid cleansers - Tree Hut offers an amazing line of shower washes that not only cleanse but moisturize the skin. Almond and Honey Shea moisturizing wash includes shea butter, which promotes skin health.

• Facial cleansers - The mildest cleanser but may not remove oil and dirt as well.

Step 2: Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!!

Moisturizing is essential to having healthy skin and should be part of your daily skin care routine.

• Replace the natural moisture you lost while washing your face.

• Tree Hut offers a line of products that incorporates shea butter, a moisturizer that helps improve skin tone and improve the elasticity of your skin.

• When fighting acne, remember "you may need more moisturizer, not less," warns dermatologist Amy Wechsler, M.D.

Step 3: Use Sunscreen EVERYDAY!

An A+  skin care regimen includes sunscreen, sadly it's the most forgotten. With the naked eye, a person can tell if they need to clean, moisturize or exfoliate their skin.

At times the majority of  damage to the skin from UV radiation is underneath the surface and happens so slowly that we don't realize how much damage is being done.  Even little bits of exposure add up over the years and can cause wrinkles, dark spots and skin cancer.

Create a healthy skin care regimen, and you will be fortunate enough to have amazing skin for years and years to come.
