Skin Imperfections and how to deal with special skin conditions

Let's face it slynkey girls (mind the pun) very few women have perfectly flawless skin. Even the most beautiful models and actresses in the world need a little help too. I'll be looking at special skin conditions and will tell all of you slynkey girls how to use the perfect combination of product and technique so that you can get fabulous flawless skin that is the envy of women everywhere.

Acne

Unfortunately, acne doesn't stop after puberty, however if breakouts are frequent then it is a good idea to speak to your dermatologist who may be able to prescribe to you some medications or creams to help with the problem. If you suffer from occasional blemishes then the right skin care regime and using an oil-free moisturiser may be all that you need to fix the problem. Avoid heavy make up if you have acne prone skin instead use a tinted moisturiser to even out skin tone and apply a concealer where needed. It is very important that you let your skin breathe.  

  • Avoid touching your face with your hands because it will only exacerbate the problem.  
  • Don't squeeze your pimples it will make it much worse and scar your skin as well.
  • It's not fatty foods and chocolate that cause your skin to break out but alcohol, tobacco and caffeine. Avoid these things when you can.
Blemishes

To even out skin tone apply foundation first and then choose a concealer that matches your skin exactly. Using a concealer that is a shade or two lighter than your face is a bad idea and will only make your blemishes look larger. For best results use a concealer brush apply product to the blemish. Apply powder to lock the foundation and concealer in place. 

Dry Skin

If you have really dry skin you should be wearing a rich moisturiser as well as wearing a moisturizing foundation this increases the water content in the outer layer of your skin. Avoid wearing powder as well as this dries your skin out. 

Freckles

Many people that have freckles want to conceal them by wearing lots of heavy foundation, instead show them off, they are a thing of beauty. Use a tinted moisturiser that even outs skin tone and apply a bronzer/blusher (depending on your colouring).    

Scars

It is sometimes difficult to conceal scars because a scar is a raised area of skin that has no pores and therefore nothing to attach to. To hide a scar apply a dry textured concealer. If you don't have a dry textured concealer you can apply moisturiser and a little loose powder to the scarred area then apply your normal concealer.   

Wrinkles

To have smooth skin sans wrinkles you need to make sure that your skin is well hydrated. Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA's) are a great weapon when you wish to combat wrinkles. On top of using an Alpha-hydroxy acid cream, you should also be wearing a hydrating moisturiser and a moisturising foundation. Take care of your skin now and avoid wrinkles slynkey girls by staying out of the sun and making sure that you drink plenty of water to keep your skin well hydrated.
