You only have one skin and the earlier in life you begin taking extra-special care of it, the longer you will have a smooth, glowing, youthful appearance. There are myriads of products on the market and the ones that are more natural are the best. You can even make your own skin and body care products. Do your research and learn the qualities of essential oils, lotions, tinctures and flower essences. It is fun to create your own products!
Here are a few recipes to get you started:
MIRACLE CLEANSING GRAINS FOR THE FACE

1/8 cup finely ground roses
3 drops lavender essential oil (use only pure oils)
2 drops peppermint essential oil
2 drops orange essential oil
Combine all ingredients in a glass bowl. Mix well. Store in a sterile pretty glass jar. Scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture when you want to exfoliate your facial skin. Always avoid the eye area. (Do a skin test to make sure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients before using it on your face.) Add a little honey or distilled water to the grains to make a paste for scrubbing or use the grains dry. Rinse well with warm water.
