All Over Skin Care- Part 3

Are you ready for part 3 in this 4 part series on skin care? Today the focus is on your chest, back and shoulders.
Like your face, theses areas have a high amount of sebaceous (oil) glands. When too much oil is produced- especially during exercise- it can clog pores, causing the skin to erupt with blemishes. The solution? When you work out avoid tight, spandex-type clothing, which holds in moisture. Instead, wear loose-fitting, cotton clothing. Also, shower as soon as possible after your work out to remove accumulated oil and sweat. If you do have a break-out, apply the same acne treatment you use on facial blemishes. Try AVON's Clearskin Professional Invisible Blemish Treatment with zinc peptide, wheat germ extract and salicylic acid for instant reduction in pimple redness, swelling and size. Only $7.99 through Nov. 17th.

All Over Skin Care- Part 2

Here is Part 2 in a 4 part series on general skin care tips. Last Wednesday I posted tips on hand and foot skin care. This week the focus is on Knees and Elbows.

Because the skin is so thick on these parts, it exfoliates less often than thinner-skinned areas. So it tends to get rough. The solution? Regularly exfoliate these areas by using a body scrub when you shower. AVON makes a wonderful one: Planet Spa African Shea Butter Brown Sugar Body Scrub. Follow up after your shower with the Whipped Body Balm from this same line and you will not only feel great but smell wonderful too. On sale now 2 for $6.99 through Nov. 17th.
