Tips For Healthy Skin
Tip 1.
Protect yourself from the sun
Tips For Healthy Skin
One of the most important ways to take care of your skin,
is
to protect it from the sun.
A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age
spots and other skin problems
- as well as increase the risk of cancer.
For the most complete sun protestation:
-Use sunscreen -
Use a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF
of at least 15.
Apply sunscreen generously, and reapply every two hours
- or
more often if you're swimming or perspiring.
-Seek Shade-
Avoid the sun between 10 a.m and 2 p.m,
when the
sun's rays are strongest.
-Wear protective clothing -
Cover your skin with tightly
woven long-sleeved shirts,
long pants and wide-brimmed hats.
Also consider
laundry additives,
which give clothing an additional layer of ultraviolet
protection
for a certain number of washings, or special sun-protective clothing
- which is specifically designed to block ultraviolet rays.
Tip 2. Treat your skin gently
Tips For Healthy Skin
Daily cleansing and shaving can take a toll on your skin.
To
keep it gentle:
-Limit bath time -
Hot water and long showers or baths
remove oils from your skin.
Limit your bath or shower time, and use warm rather
than hot - water.
-Avoid strong soaps -
Strong soaps and detergents can strip
oil from your skin,
instead choose mild cleansers.
-Shave carefully-
To protect and lubricate your skin, apply
shaving cream,
lotion or gel before shaving.
For a closest shave, use a clean,
sharp razor.
Shave in the direction the hair grows, not against it.
-Pat dry -
After washing or bathing, gently pat or blot your
skin dry with a towel so that some moisture remains on your skin.
- Moisturize dry skin -
If your skin is dry, use a
moisturizer that fits your skin type. For daily use, consider a moisturiser
that contains SPF.
Tip 3. Don't Smoke
Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to
wrinkles.
Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of
skin,
which decreases blood flow.
This depleted the skin of oxygen and
nutrients that are important to skin health.
Smoking also damages collagen and elastin
- the fibers that
give your skin strength and elasticity.
In addition, the repetitive facial
expressions you make when smoking
- such as pursing your lips when inhaling and
squinting your eyes to keep out smoke
- can contribute to wrinkles.
If you smoke,
the best way to protect your skin is to quit.
Ask your doctor for tips or treatments to help you stop smoking.
Tip 4. Manage Stress
Uncontrolled stress can make your skin more sensitive
and
trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems.
To encourage healthy skin - and
a healthy state of mind
- take steps to manage your stress.
Set reasonable
limits,
scale back your to-do list and make time to do the things you enjoy.
The results might be more dramatic than you expect.
Tip 5.
Eat a healthy diet
Tips For Healthy Skin
A healthy diet can help you look and feel your best.
Eat
plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins.
The association
between diet and acne isn't clear -
but some research suggests that a diet rich
in vitamin C
and low in unhealthy fats and processed or refined carbohydrates
might promote younger looking skin.
