Prevent sun damage.
Sunscreen is the real fountain of youth. Get into the habit of applying sunscreen or a lotion with minimum SPF 15 to 30 protection daily. Remember that the sun's rays can still be damaging in winter months as it reflects off snow. If you don't like taking the time to put on both moisturizer and sunscreen, buy a moisturizer with sunscreen.

Cleanse your face gently.
Don't clean so much you dry it out.
3
Exfoliate.
Never use walnut shells as they will cause micro tears. Avoid plastic microbeads as they pollute the environment and bioaccumulate up the food chain to fish. Experiment to discover what works for you.

Live a healthy lifestyle.
Quit smoking. Few common items age the skin as effectively as tobacco. Eat a healthy diet which includes many fruits and vegetables. Reduce stress when possible.

Tips
-Lemon juice works well for reducing scars and making them lighter.
-Wash all cosmetics off as soon as you know you will not be going out again and avoid wearing cosmetics whenever possible to give your skin a rest.
-Clean your cellphone and any other device that may come in contact with your skin.
-Never pick at a blemish. Many poor results come of picking at breakouts, such as scarring, infection, or permanent enlargement of the pore. You are also more likely to get another breakout in the same place over time.
-Washing your face with a mixture of brown sugar and a few drops of milk (enough to form a mud-like consistency) washes away dirt and excess oil, leaving your skin feeling smooth and refreshed. This scrub can be left on your face for as long as you like.
-Change the applicators and clean the brushes you use to apply make-up on a consistent basis. Bacteria and oils can build up in these places and then be spread back on the skin each time make-up is applied.
-Make sure you drink a lot of water so your skin won't look dry.
-Avoid touching your skin with high force or avoid scratching your skin as much as possible.
-Vitamins are essential for healthy skin, especially vitamins A, B,and C. Vitamin E helps to improve the complexion when applied externally.
-You may be able to improve your skin by taking care of your body such as with good hygiene, nutrition and exercise. Practice good hygiene such as taking showers with mild soap to reduce microbe count on skin. Occasionally use a strong bar soap strong enough the get rid of most microbes and rinse off soap well. Use exercise such as walking to reduce cellulite and improve muscle tone.
-Never coat your entire face in foundation. Chances are, you only need a little bit in areas you are most self-conscious in.
-Avoid stretching or pulling on the delicate skin near your eyes when putting on creams or cosmetics. This delicate area shows age markings like wrinkles much sooner than it should when subjected to too much rough handling.
-Washing your face with mild soap during the day cleans your skin from the dirt that causes black heads and pimples, although washing a lot may cause dryness. Note that you should visit a dermatologist to check your face if mild soap can be applicable to your skin.
-Wash your pillowcase often and avoid wearing hair products to bed. The combination of hair products and facial oils on the pillowcase can cause blemishes.
-If you're sunburned, apply some plain yogurt mixed with aloe vera gel on your skin. That will smooth the irritated skin.
-If your skin gets a little stressed though e.g. due to plenty of sun, try Aloe Vera Gel with at least 90% pure aloe barbadensis leaf juice in it. Aloe vera is known for healing properties and can do wonders for the skin.
-Make sure to clean your face daily for oily skin. If after using facial cleanser and it feels tight, then you're using something too strong.
-Use homemade masks to moisturize your skin. They're easy to make, and they really work! For instance, a mixture of grapes, lemon and egg white is very helpful for oily skin and honey promotes the healing of ulcers and burns. Fresh herbs ground into a paste and applied to problem skin may also help reduce skin problems.
-Carefully choose your facial scrub to match your pore size. The type and size of the grains in the face scrub can actually make the difference between exfoliated and irritated skin. Larger grains are more abrasive while tinier beads are more gentle.
-If you have cystic acne, TOMS natural toothpaste is a great treatment. Apply on your cystic acne before you go to bed every night, and you will see a huge difference when you wake up. Keep using it.
-Oil blotting sheets can help absorb oil through the day so you are not tempted to re-apply powder or foundation, or over wash your face.
