HOW TO HAVE HEALTHY SKIN
With new
research, new products and new skin protection
advice popping up all the time, it is hard to
figure out the best things to do to improve and
protect your skin. A skin care program is the
combination of skin care products and a routine
that will be most beneficial to the skin. You
will first need to consider your diet and type of
life-style since these two factors play an
important role in the health of a person's skin.
These days we seem to be living in the fast-food
age and the condition of your skin is often
neglected. You still can't beat the old fruit and
vegetable diet when it comes to good health and a
good complexion.
Remember to feed and nourish your skin by eating
the proper foods. Give your skin a drink too.
Those eight glasses of water a day your mom
always told you to be sure to drink are essential
to maintaining your skin's elasticity and
suppleness, say experts. And don't count coffee
or any of the caffeinated sodas as part of the
eight glass§es because caffeine is dehydrating.
The water you choose can be sparkling water,
mineral or straight from the tap. Another
suggestion is that you keep a liter-size bottle
close at hand, or simply drink a glass or two
with your meals, and a few in between.
You need to give some thought and consideration
to the type of makeup you sue. And be sure to
clean your tools regularly. Things such as
cosmetic brushes get dirty and can carry bacteria
and germs and may cause skin irritations and
breaking out. One of the leading cosmetic
authorities suggests that cosmetic brushes be
thoroughly cleaned at least twice a month. A good
way is to soak brushes for about 10 minutes in a
dish of warm, soapy water using mild liquid
detergent or baby shampoo. Rinse and blot excess
moisture with a towel and stand the brushes,
handle end down, in a tall glass until they are
thoroughly dry.
Keep environmental pollutants from being absorbed
into the skin with a good moisturizer that also
acts as a skin barrier. Check the labels for
those with added Vitamin A, C and E, which help
block the penetration of pollutants.
A good exercise program such as aerobics can
activate and rejuvenate the skin and improve
circulation and blood flow. Also, body sweat
triggers production of sebum, which is the skin's
own natural moisturizer.
One skin care expert has come up with a
do-it-yourself version of a treatment you may
like to try. Stir the juice of half a lemon into
one cup of plain yogurt. Keep it in the
refrigerator and apply it as you would a cream
every night before bed. You can even apply a thin
coat of moisturizer over it is you like, after
waiting about five minutes for the yogurt mixture
to penetrate. With consistent use, you should see
more even pigmentation and smoother skin in three
to four weeks.
Get serious about stress reduction. Skin
conditions such as acne appear on many people who
are stressed out, and chronic skin conditions
then to get worse. Set aside quiet time to
meditate or daydream. Be sure to get enough
sleep. To avoid morning eye or facial puffiness,
sleep on your back so fluid doesn't collect
there. And, you can keep the oil from your hair
away from your face by wearing a head covering or
a soft headband when you go to bed. And keep in
mind that too much stress can affect your overall
health as well as your complexion. You'll look
and feel better when you get down to the
essential things.
