Like most people’s skin my skin gets tighter because of the cold air in winter. I live in the UK, so it rains a lot too. What is a good skin care routine to keep nice skin over winter and when should I start it?
Change your moisturizer to a thick and more hydrating one.
Also, I like to use a moisture mask about 1-3 times per week in the winter.
Hope this helps you guys, it was requested SOOO much!!
sorry bout the choppy editing, but i wanted it to be a small video.

Have you heard about “Man Skin Care?” If this sounds strange to some men, it probably sounded even stranger decades back. But not so now. The emerging boom in the market of skin care products for men sugggests that more and more men have gotten around to appreciate the value of skin care.
What is “man skin care?” Despite marked differences between the male and female hide, there are ways of skin care for men that follow the same steps or precedures applied by women when they attend to the upkeep of their own skin. An example is cleansing. As with women, cleansing aims to get rid of various kinds of dirt from the skin and prevent pores from being clogged. Unlike women, however, men are covered with oilier skin due to larger pores and bouncier sebaceous glands. Disabled skin pores trap oily compounds beneath them, causing skin irritations and infections. Thus cleansing becomes doubly important for men, and should be done as often as possible. Water soluble cleansers, rather than soap, have been proven to be more effective especially for facial cleansing.
Man skin care also shares with products used by women. Both sexes are better off with skin care products that draw on natural ingredients, such as aloe vera, sea salt and substances derived from coconut. Antiseptics made from natural oils like lavender, tea tree, etc. are highly effective for man skin care as they are for women’s needs.
Another example is the need for protection against skin cancer. Due to a more resistant nature of their skin against ultra-violet radiation, males maybe less prone to such type of afflictions compared to females. But where thorough skin care programming is concerned, men need protective measures just like women do. In this respect sunscreen products and moisurisers are helpful components of man skin care.
But beyond the parallelism between gender insofar as skin care is concerned, a lot of man skin care actually has something to do with shaving. Man’s facial hair often makes shaving a compulsory task. And it is one necessity where proper use of equipment and the right application of varius skin care products become indispensable parts of the routine. You may start with choosing your razors carefully. The swivel-headed types have been proven to minimize causes of accidental cuts; see it for yourself if they suit your needs too. Avoid scratching your skin with the razor by loosening up a bit on your grip of the handle. Slide your hand freely and gently with each stroke.
The skin care products you need for shaving should include either foam, gel or cream and aftershave lotions. Again be judicious in selecting the kind of products that serve you best. Many skin care products for men differ in their composition and suitability to varying types of skin. Your choice, therefore, must be guided by the type of skin you have or the degree of its oiliness.
Shaving takes away moisture from your skin. Although the relatively thicker and oilier male skin mitigates it, the loss should be compensated by using moisturising gels or creams. With upward massage-like strokes, apply them gently over your face after every shave. Shaving foams or gels with built-in moisturisers are also helpful. Avoid alcohol-based aftershaves.
Man skin care is not as hard and complicated as you, like many men, probably think. The ritual does not demand so much of your time. Its reward is a clean and healthy skin you can happily wear for as long as you want.

Vitamin C is gaining recognition in the skin care world. Known to promote production of protein–called collagen–in the skin, Vitamin C works effectively against wrinkles and slows down aging. Collagen makes the skin more elastic and firm. Vitamin C is also known to control the common elements that harm the skin.
The growing reputation of Vitamin C as an effective anti-aging and skin care compound has also led to its increasing blend as ingredient in so many skin care products. This unfortunately has created complications in many skin care or anti-aging products because Vitamin C reacts relatively quickly to oxidation. Thus the shelf life or effectiveness of Vitamin C-laced skin care or anti-aging products quickly diminishes when exposed to oxidizing elements like air. When Vitamic C in skin care products gets oxidised, the product’s color turns yellowish-brown.
The challenge therefore for skin care products enhanced with Vitamin C is to be careful with their storage. Always keep them from being exposed to oxidizing elements. Also, these products require a particular range of storage temperature, which normally forms part of product information and can be read from the product label itself. When a product starts showing discoloration, it is time to discard it.
Manufacturers of Vitamin C skin care products have stepped up research on how to deal effectively with the problem of Vitamin C oxidation. They have already tried raising the concentration levels of Vitamin C in these products. The reformulation might have slowed down the reaction process, but unfortunately it hardly addressed the underlying cause of the problem and is therefore unlikely to totally resolve it. Moreover, the increased concentration of Vitamin C in skin care products means higher costs and makes them more expensive.
Another option has been to apply Vitamin C derivatives like magnesium ascorbyl phospate and ascorbyl palmitate in Vitamin C skin care products. Although they are not as effective as pure Vitamin C, they bring to the products some advantages that make them more desirable. Some consumers say that these derivatives are in fact more stable against oxidation. They help skin care products become less irritating than those enhanced with pure Vitamin C. They are also less expensive. Vitmain C derivative skin care products thus look promising and are attractive alternatives to Vitamin C skin care products.
It is important, however, to keep in mind that skin care treatment using Vitamin C or its derivatives has no uniform effect on everyone. If none of them are showing positive effects on you after their regular use, then you may decide that Vitamin C is not suited for you. It is useless to stick to a skin care regimen just because it is popular and everyone else seems to swear by it. The bottom line is Vitamin C enhancements continue to be refined and that there are many ways to beautiful skin. The way to yours may or may not be Vitamin C skin care treatment.

I am currently using the clinique 3 step and i think it is pretty good but the moisturizer is a bit iffy. so i am looking for another skin care routine to replace what i have now.
i have combination skin, with breakouts on my forehead mostly. the clinique has minimized my breakouts but not eliminated them.
i have tried aveeno products and they don’t work that well.
Also, i am 16 so is it reasonable to be using higher end skin care items?
there was a point where i broakout all over my face and neck. inorder to get rid of it (including blackheads) i used cream with the little scrub balls apply scrub with hot water then after scrub with cold, and during the day i would just wipe my face with clean&clear oil absorbing sheets. those take away all the extra oil on the face.
