Also, keep your makeup clean by replacing sponges and brushes regularly. 5. Always keep your skin moisturized day and night to keep it from harmful elements, which damage it. Use skin care products that have high vitamin E, shea butter, squalene, and aloe vera contents. 6. Protect your skin everyday by always using sunscreen with a SPF of at least 15. It is also the one responsible for the appearance of brown spots, not only on the face but also on the shoulders and on the back. There is also of course the danger of developing skin cancer from direct rays of the sun. As uncommon as it may seem, tumors can actually develop on the face. This is why putting on sunscreen whether you plan to stay outside for long or not, whether it is summer or winter, is highly recommended. Highly concentrated products are also recommended. Remember that just because a product advertises Vitamin C on it front level, it does not mean that it contains the kind or the form (L-ascorbic acid) that your skin can use.

This is perhaps the mistake of most people who take care of their faces but largely ignore the legs or the abdomen. They only take care of the parts that are visible. This should not be the case as the entire skin needs taking care of. Every part of the skin ages. Of course, it is also right that you take extra care more on the parts that are visible as these are the parts that are often exposed to the sun but this does not mean that you will ignore the others.
