SKIN CARE

What do your notice first when meeting meeting someone for the first time? What catches your eyes or where does your eye skim to? Besides the dressing, style and conduct, obviously it is the face. When meeting that person again, the face is what identifies the individual.

For this reason skin care and the need to maintain a clean and healthy skin is important. It also helps very much to add to one's self confidence, personal pride, self esteem and even attitude. Now we see why men shave without fail every morning and women spend thousands to keep their faces looking good.

Making that FIRST IMPRESSION is so important. To get the skin looking healthier does not mean necessarily mean that one must submit the skin to torturous scrubbing and all kinds of costly cosmetic prescriptions.Modifying your daily routine a tiny bit and upholding disciplined cleansing habits can help maintain and retain flawless skin.

Natural Skin Care Tips for Healthier, Beautiful Skin

Eat healthier By avoiding foods that often make your face breakout, your skin will be less oily and more resistant to blemishes. Some problem foods that may cause pimples or breakouts include chocolate and other candy, French fries, fast food, pizza and soft drinks. To get your skin in better shape, you may not have to give up everything that has negative effects on your skin, but rather, eat those things in moderation. Have greasier foods as a special treat or on rare occasion when eating a healthy, balanced meal is out of the question.

Hydrate and exercise Drink the always recommended eight glasses of water per day. Also that would help are some forms of regular exercises – walking, running, bicycling and some simple sports. These should have a great impact on one’s complexion. Increased blood flow due to aerobic exercises will positively impact one’s complexion with a glowing look to replace dull skin. Not only will exercise and drinking water help skin tone and texture, but it will also make you feel more energized and great about yourself. By keeping your body in shape, you will feel less stressed and more capable of achieving those things you set out to do.

Monitor sun exposure By using a moderate strength sunscreen, you will be protecting your skin from sun damage, skin cancer, aging and premature wrinkles. Too much sun can blister one’s lips, leaving them red, sore and charred. Sun burnt skin will eventually peel most times, leaving skin areas blotchy and sensitive. The best approach to preventing sunburn and other sun-caused skin problems is to monitor how much time one spends in the sun and to avoid sun exposure by using sunscreen.

Practice a regular cleansing routine Cleanse, exfoliate, tone and moisturize. This daily routine should carry you on your way toward healthier skin. Select a gentle skin cleansing solution that works for your specific type of skin – dry, oily, normal. Using your selected product, cleanse face in a circular motion and rinse with lukewarm water, as hot water zaps skin’s moisture. Follow the cleansing stage with an exfoliant. A granular product is often especially effective in smoothing rough areas and releasing dead skin cells, allowing the face to be better moisturized. After the exfoliation process concludes, use a toner or an astringent to tighten skin and remove any makeup or cleanser residue. A nice alternative to a toner or astringent would be doing a facial masque at least once a week, which tackles clogged pores while also firming skin and leaving it soft and silky.

Finally, pat skin dry with a soft towel but do not dry up all the water. Apply a moisturizer (with or without sunscreen) to help protect skin from dryness. Those who have oily skin do not have to moisturize as often as those who have dry, normal or combination skin. By following the daily skin care routine along with drinking lots of water, exercising and protecting your skin from sun damage, you should soon notice positive results. Maintaining discipline and adhering to your goal to achieve healthier skin make the actual task at hand so much easier to accomplish.
