Ten Tips For A Healthy Skin
It is hardly surprising that a healthy skin is essential if you want to have a radiant complexion. If you are not sure how to achieve this, follow my top ten tips and you will not go far wrong.
# Know your skin type. Because there are different products for each skin type, it is important that you use the correct one.
# Keep your body hydrated. This means drinking plenty of water every day. Follow this simple tip and your skin will show a definite improvement.
# Regular cleansing. Use lukewarm water to wash your face twice a day to clean all the dirt and grime.
# Use gentle actions. Trying too hard by over enthusiastic scrubbing or exfoliating can be harmful. Likewise using too much moisturizer and other lotions will be counter productive.
# Keep your skin moist at all times. Do not let your skin become dry because dryness causes the outer layer of your skin to break, leading to a rough and unattractive appearance. Use a moisturizer daily.
# Avoid the sun. # Keep away from strong sunlight. Take special care during the five hours between 10am and 3pm when the ultraviolet rays are at their peak.
# Always apply sunscreen. Sunscreens are rated according to a sun protection factor (SPF), which ranges from 2 to 30 or higher. A higher number means longer, stronger protection. Buy products with an SPF of 15 or higher. Also look for products with a label that says: broad spectrum (protects against both UVA and UVB rays) and water resistant (stays on longer, even if you get wet or sweat). Reapply the lotion as needed.
# Wear appropriate clothes. Protect yourself from the sun with a broad brimmed hat that shades your neck as well as your head. Protect your arms and legs with long sleeved shirts and pants. Make sure your sunglasses are the most effective variety.
# Avoid artificial tanning. Tanning beds and sun lamps act on your skin in the same way as the sun with its harmful UV rays, so should be avoided. Tanning pills may appear to be harmless, but contain an additive that has not been approved by the FDA. Tanning makeup does not contain sunscreen so will provide no protection.
# Make regular checks of your skin. Because excessive exposure to the sun can
cause skin cancer, you need to be aware of any changes in
birthmarks, moles or spots. If you notice any alteration in size, color or shape you should seek medical advice.
So there you have it - my top ten skin care tips for a healthy skin.
