Women want healthy skin, but they also want an easy skin care routine that doesn't require a lot of time or expensive products. You may already have on hand many of the products you'll need for an easy skin care routine. Use comparison shopping and preventive measures to develop an easy skin care routine that works for you.

Exfoliate
1. Exfoliating involves using a hydroxy acid, such as salicylic acid or glycolic acid, to remove dead skin cells from the outer layer of skin. If you have too many of these cells, your skin may feel rough, and have a yellowish tint. Wash the dead skin cells away to expose the newer skin beneath.

Purchase a moisturizer that contains alpha hydroxy acids to keep your skin soft and smooth.
Cleansers/Moisturizers
2. Daily use of a mild cleanser and moisturizer can help prevent dry skin, which may cause wrinkles and cracks that make your skin painful and itchy.

If you suffer from dry skin, use warm water--never hot--to bathe or shower, and use a mild, beauty bar soap. Keep showers or baths short to minimize water contact, and use moisturizer after gently patting your skin dry.

An effective moisturizer uses oil to keep water in the skin, which keeps the skin hydrated. Purchase moisturizers that contain lanolin, mineral oil, petroleum jelly or dimethicone.

Makeup
3. Because the make-up can stay on your face for a long time, buying makeup that does not match will cause an allergic reaction on your skin or stop your pores, causing acne. Look for makeup that contains sunscreen. Moisturize before applying makeup.

Sunscreen
4. Add sunscreen to your skin care routine. Unprotected sun exposure can cause your skin to feel rough and dry, and can cause age spots and wrinkles as well as skin cancer. If you're going to be in the sun, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least 30 SPF, a half hour before sun exposure. "Broad-spectrum sunscreens block both ultra violet A, and ultra violet B rays, which can cause sun damage to your skin," according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Reapply sunscreen every two hours.

Stop Smoking
5. "One of the best ways to to take care of your skin is to stop smoking," according to the Mayo Clinic. Smoking causes skin fibers to lose strength: Your skin may become loose and lose its shape. Wrinkles may result from repeatedly puckering your lips to inhale smoke, or partially closing your eyes to keep smoke out. Consult your doctor about treatments that will help you to quit smoking.
