Top Ten Skin Care Tips
1 - Good Sun Block - if you have to economize on anything, don’t economize on this! Don’t forget that hats and sunglasses are good for protecting your skin as well.
2 - Make sure you drink enough to keep your skin hydrated, water is your best friend, but any liquid will help. It will ensure you have better general health too.
3 - Always make sure you moisturize your skin, especially if you are going outdoors for any length of time. Older skin will need a little more help, this is where a good Wrinkle Skin Cream comes in.
4 - Get sufficient sleep, tired skin is dry and grey. Make sure your pillows support your head and face, and don’t cause too many nasty skin creases.
5 - Exercise is important to maintain skin quality, and some facial exercises won’t do any harm either.
6 - Cleansing is very important; make sure you do it properly at least once a day. Don’t use anything too harsh but do make sure that you clean off all the debris of the day so that the pore don’t blocked.
7 - Test your skin care products to make sure they don’t cause problems. Manufacturers often change formulations and sometimes the new version doesn’t suit you.
8 - A good healthy diet with lots of fruit and vegetables helps to maintain you and your skin in good health. Try having one day a week meat-free, you will feel really good and your skin will thank you.
9 - Try and have one or two days a week make-up free. It lets your skin breathe and have a rest from the stresses that make-up can cause.
10 - Start Young! You are never too young to start a good skin care routine. The more you do when you are younger, the less you will have to do when you are older.
So true. I know all ten steps are vital, but numbers 2, 5, 8 and 10 really stand out for me. I’m a guy who was a sun worshiper in his youth. Let me tell you — I pay for it now! If you are young — or you are parents of young children — now is the time to teach them about good skin care. Skin cancers are no fun! Melanomas are deadly. And if nothing else, wrinkly skin always makes you look a lot older than you truly are.
Take care of it while you’re young and you won’t have to pay tons of money to fix things later.
Peace …
