Don't forget about getting a beautiful tan at Suvara
You can't have enough tips for good skin; not all suggestions are proper for each person, and it's important to keep experimenting until you find what works. Before we dive in to talk about more great skin tips, we want to remind you that Fall is upon us and your skin is most likely becoming dry, flaky and pasty. Remember that Suvara's all natural formula nourishes, moisturizes and protects your skin with antioxidants, organic aloe vera and COq10; not to mention the fact that it gives you a gorgeous glow that's perfect for your skin type! Come see us and keep glowing throughout the winter.
Now, onto the tips for perfect skin.

1. Keep your routine. Last time we spoke about good skin habits, we addressed the importance of staying with the same products to avoid over-drying and truly seeing the real effects of a product on your skin. This tip has to do with your daily routine. Make sure you wash your face around the same time everyday, morning and night. This not helps to regulate your skin, but it helps you to monitor whether or not your cleansers are too harsh. For instance, if you wash everyday at 8:30 a.m and by 9am your skin feels oily, chances are your cleanser is drying out your skin and it's overcompensating by pumping out oil. On the flip side, this tip helps you to see if your skin is drying out shortly after cleansing, in which case you should see about changing your product or adding on a moisturizer.

2. Keep your hair and hands off your face. We don't realize it, but there are tons of harmless germs on our hands at all times...harmless of course, unless you consider the effect they have on your skin. Impurities transferred from the hands to the face an result in break-outs, excess oil and clogged pores. Our facial skin is very fragile and sensitive and reacts differently than other parts of our bodies. Use applicators, not your hands to put makeup on your face.

3. Temperature matters. Hot water opens pores, cold water closes them. When first washing your face, use water water, then to finish, splash your face with cold water. Your pores will appear smaller because they shrink with the cold water, giving your skin a smoother, more even tone and texture. Extra tip: This also works on hair, and seals your locks so they retain moisture.

4. Don't pick, squeeze, coax or pull at your break-outs or pores. We know it's tempting to take those little buggers into your own hands, but believe us, it only spreads oil, germs and causes scarring. Apply a topical ointment with a cotton ball or Q-tip and leave it alone.

Toner might not be the best option
5. Ditch the toner. Toner was developed before pH-balanced cleansers, so if you are using one now, there'sno use for it. Toner easily dries out the skin and makes it flaky and cracked if used with the wrong cleanser. Love your toner? Make sure your using the product lines corresponding facial cleanser; if the product line is any good, they will compliment each other and keep your skin healthy, clean and balanced.
