Scar Spot Wrinkle

Scar Spot Wrinkle
How can I best take care of my skin properly? (13 year old btw)?

I want to start taking proper care of my skin because I don't want to have it ruined when I'm older.

I always have some spots now and it's left me with a few scars so one thing for me to ask is how to sensitively protect myself from getting anymore.

I also have back acne which is very annoying!

I don't wear makeup much, I don't wear fake tan at all, I have quite pale skin and I burn relatively easily on very sunny days.

I don't want to be overloaded with wrinkles when I'm older, I won't mind some wrinkles, but I don't want to prematurely age either

So how do I protect my skin from future damage?

Yes, I mean back acne and I also have blackheads

Hi Holly: I'm Debra with Mary Kay, to properly take care of your skin you need to have a skin care program that fits your budget and your skin type. First if you have dry skin which is characterized as small pores and a matte (dull) finish with little or no superficial oil or shine. You would need a cleanser that cleans your skin without overstripping, it should soften, lubricate, and restore needed moisture. Normal Skin is healthy looking skin with a smooth texture. It contains a balance of oil and moisture and has infrequent blemishes or clogged pores. You would use a cleanser that maintain moisture balance for a healthy, radiant glow. Combination Skin type is healthy-looking skin with a smooth texture and some oiliness in the T-zone areas (the area forming a "T" across the forehead and down the nose and chin) with some signs of dryness on the cheeks and outer edges of the face. When properly cared for, lines and wrinkles seldom form on this type of skin untill late in life. You would need a cleanser that control excess oil in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), your skin pores should appear smaller and hydrate dry areas. Oily Skin type results when the sebaceous glands produce too much oil, giving skin a shiny appearance. Sometimes a greasy or sticky feel remains for several hours after cleansing. It is also characterized by larger pores than other skiin types and is more prone to breakouts, clogged pores and blemishes. Oily Skin may tend to wrinkle less readily than drier skin types. The large amount of oil on the skin's surface helps the upper layers retain water and protects the skin from environmental causes of dryness. Cleanser for oily skin should control surface oiliness, leaving skin feeling smooth and looking radiant. Deep clean pore openings of impurities and oily buildup. This will also help with makeup to stay on fresher longer. You should never use the same wash cloth that you use for your body, always use another wash cloth this way you won't be adding any unseen inpurities to your face. You should use a skin lotion that has SPF 15 or higher to keep your skin safe from UVA/UVB rays which are harmful to your skin. I hope that I helped you on keeping your skin looking healthy. Good Luck

Will lemon juice work on African American skin.?

We were always told that we didn't have to use sunscreen, while that is true for cancers and wrinkles, now I am beginning to learn that from not putting on sunscreen we are prone to more hyperpigmentation and discoloration. I am seeing alot about lemon juice will that help fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation from scars along with the use of sunscreen.

Girl yes! Lemon juice does help to fade discolorations on the skin but I use African Black Soap by (Dudu Osun). This soap has lemon juice in it, Lime Juice, Shea Butter, Coco pod ashes and Palm fruit oil which are all excellent for our skin. It will help fade any dark spots you have. Also, this soap heals acne as well. I use it on face and body and my skin is flawless but it has not always been that way. I had suffered from post acne marks so I started using this soap and now all the dark marks are gone. Also, I use Shea butter to moisturize. Use the "unrefined" Shea butter though because it has wonderful healing properties for our skin like removing dark spots, skin rashes, skin infections, good for the hair and will give you a sexy natural glow. Using the "refined" Shea butter is not good because all of its healing properties are removed with chemicals. Like Hexane.....

I buy both the Shea Butter and Dudu Osun African Black Soap off of eBay.com

Good luck sista girl!
