We all know the importance of a healthy skin if you want to look great. If you are not sure how to achieve this, follow my top ten tips and you will not go far wrong.
# Check your skin type. This is important because there are different skin care products for all the varying skin types.
# Keep your body hydrated. This means drinking plenty of water every day. Follow this simple tip and your skin will show a definite improvement.
# Wash twice a day. Regular cleansing in lukewarm water to remove dirt and dust that you have
encountered throughout the day.
# Take care. Avoid excessive scrubbing and try not to exfoliate too hard. Also take care not to overdo the creams and lotions.
# Keep your skin moist at all times. You do not want your skin to become dry because this will allow the outer layer to crack and become rough and unattractive.
# Stay out of the sun. # Keep away from strong sunlight. Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. This is when the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays are strongest.
# Always apply sunscreen. Make sure you use a product with the correct sun protection factor (SPF). Best advice is to use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher. Also choose products that offer broad spectrum protection and are water resistant.
# Dress to protect your skin. Protect yourself from the sun with a broad brimmed hat that shades your neck as well as your head. Protect your arms and legs with long sleeved shirts and pants. Make sure your sunglasses are the most effective variety.
# Keep away from artificial tanning. Tanning beds and sun lamps act on your skin in the same way as the sun with its harmful UV rays, so should be avoided. Tanning pills may appear to be harmless, but contain an additive that has not been approved by the FDA. Tanning makeup does not contain sunscreen so will provide no protection.
# Keep an eye on your skin. Keep an eye on any birthmarks, moles or spots and if you notice any changes in the size, shape or color consult your doctor. Fair-skinned people are advised to have an annual skin check.
