Skin care is a crucial factor for your own health as well as
prior to any make-up application. Some
may feel that make-up hides a lot, but keep in mind that it can only hide a lot
if you are wearing too much. Make-up application is not about looking like we
have too much on, but bringing out certain characteristics on our faces to
enhance them, and not by over-doing it.
This brings us back to our main topic of maintaining good skin
care. We hear about simple tips of how
we can achieve beautiful skin quite often, but tend to ignore or forget, that
being said, let’s refresh! ...
1. AVOID SKIN TANNING:
Depending on our various different skin pigments, some may
want to indulge in skin tanning. Yes, it
may add a bronze tone to your skin but at the same time you are sucking out the
hydration that the body creates and needs to help recover and keep the
elasticity of our skin. The more we
damage our skin with the sun, we have the tendency to have wrinkles earlier in
life. Keep in mind that temporary
tanning will give you years of problems and will take away years of life away from
your skin. Another thing we have always
heard about is skin cancer, Avoiding skin tanning will also decrease your
chances of getting skin cancer, so make you choice wisely.
2.
USE SUNSCREEN:
We always hear dermatologists mentioning to wear sunscreen,
even when it is not sunny or hot. Think
of it this way, if it protects against the suns harmful rays, it must also
protect us from losing moisture. The
reason why a surface can burn is usually when the moisture amount is very thin
or almost gone, hence why people get burnt in the sun after too much exposure
and mostly when they do not wear any skin protection.
3.
DRINK LOTS OF WATER:
This one is a very obvious one, we all know that we should
drink 8 glasses of water per day but tend to forget or not do it at all. Drinking enough water keeps our overall skin
hydrated, which aids with natural reconstruction of the skin. It also helps with our natural elasticity of
the skin. While your skin is dry our
skin’s elasticity is minimal, and that dryness also adds to more wrinkles at an
earlier age.
4.
AVOID HOT SHOWERS:
Hot showers tend to suck out our natural moisture
completely, and it usually takes a good while for it to recover. Before the natural hydration comes back into
our skin, we may face bad bacteria or dirt that can come in contact with our
skin’s surface, causing a variation of different skin problems either on the surface
of our skin or beneath the surface of the skin.
