Here are some clear smooth skin tips

• Keep your skin clean. Do not scrub your face. The face does not need scrubbing. And, neither does your back. In fact, the more you scrub on it, the more acne you can get and more trauma to your skin.
• Skin cream on the skin feels soft and smooth, but if you want your skin to benefit from that cream, you need to dampen your skin first then add the cream. The cream will help retain the moisture in the skin.
• Use a non-chemical soap to wash your face. Then dry your face by patting with a soft clean towel. You can actually not use soap on your face at all, especially if you have dry skin.
• Start walking and building up your muscle tone. Muscle tone will keep your skin from looking so saggy.
• Alpha Hydroxy Acids derived from fruit, milk and sugar cane and when used on the skin helps to remove the dead skin cells, which will give your face a much younger, fresher look.
