Beautiful Skin Care Tips
The skin is the largest and one of the most intriguing organs of the
body, accounting for 16 per cent of body weight.
The skin is continually repairing and renewing itself. When you are
young, the main skin complaints are greasy skin and acne. But as you
grow older, the skin gets dry and the challenge is to counteract the
dryness of the skin. However, you can have beautiful skin no matter
what your age, race or color. The secret is to understand how your
skin functions, and to take care of it properly.
Winter Skin Care Tips
1. Use a humidifier. With the heat on and the windows closed, the
air inside can become very dry in the winter, making the dryness and
itching of eczema even worse. Use a humidifier to place moisture in
the air. If you don't want to invest in an expensive humidifying
system, smaller, relatively inexpensive humidifiers can be obtained
at a local drug store. Placing two or three of these around your
home will help to humidify the dry air. This can keep skin from
drying and becoming cracked and itchy.
2. Exfoliate
A good boy scrub and facial exfoliant can help remove dead skin
cells from your body. Add this to your cleansing routine once a
week. Not only will you feel fresh but your skin will be free from
all that old dry cells. Now you're ready to moisturize!
3. Oil bath
Now how does a jojoba oil or sweet almond bath sound to you?
Relaxing isn't it! You don't have to keep these for holidays.
Nourish you skin by adding a few drops of these oils into your every
day bath. It will do wonders for your skin.
4. Drink Water
Drink a glass of hot water with lemon. This Chinese herbal remedy is
a sure-fire method of energizing your body. It will de-tox your
entire system, including the liver and gall bladder. This means that
your body will be able to clean the blood faster to get rid of
toxins responsible for bad skin.
To protect the skin, keep baths and showers short and the water
temperature warm - not hot.
Beautiful Skin Care Tips
To make or keep your skin beautiful, it's best to work from the
inside. Eating the right kind of food can do you more good than any
medicine, and go a long way in helping your body's own healing
forces. Eat a balanced diet that includes raw foods, plenty of
yellow and orange vegetables (they contain beta carotene - a
precursor to vitamin A). Foods high in sulfur such as garlic,
onions, asparagus and eggs. Include fruits, seeds, grains and nuts.
Some Protective Measures
Healthy skin is young looking skin. There are preventative
techniques that can promote the best skin possible and keep it
looking its best longer.
Avoid over exposure to the sun. Sun damage leads to hyper
pigmentation (brown spots) which can develop into serious skin
disease. Excessive exposure can also exaggerate and thicken fine
lines. Use an SPF 15 or higher on all exposed skin, especially on
the face.
