Skin Care Tips
- 1). Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. If you aren't eating healthfully, it will show in your skin's condition. Avoid junk foods, caffeine and excess sugar. Instead, eat a diet rich in nutrients and try to consume fresh, natural foods whenever possible.
- 2). Hydrate. Water consumption is essential to healthy skin. Carry a water bottle around with you and sip it throughout your day. In addition to maintaining skin's moisture balance, water consumption also helps to plump up fine lines and wrinkles, helping skin to look younger.
- 3). Participate in cardiovascular exercise for at least 20 minutes three times a week. Exercise increases circulation, meaning that blood and nutrients flow throughout your body with more ease. Your skin will receive these vital nutrients more readily, making it appear fresher.
- 4). Remove makeup, excess oil and sweat from your skin by cleansing it each night. You should never sleep with makeup on your face as it can clog pores, leading to premature aging and breakouts. Choose a cleanser that is appropriate for your particular skin type.
- 5). Apply a moisturizer to your skin daily. If your skin's moisture balance is off, you may experience a plethora of skin issues ranging from dry, flaky patches to acne. Moisturizers are available for every skin type so pick one that is right for you.
- 6). Use a night cream on your face every evening. Your skin can handle a richer moisturizing treatment at night than it can during the day so night creams tend to richer and more nourishing than standard moisturizers. Many night creams also possess anti-aging properties to keep skin looking vibrant and young.
- 7). Make sun protection a priority. Apply sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays to your skin every day. The sun's rays are responsible for wrinkles, skin damage and premature aging. Your skin will look fresher and healthier if you avoid sun exposure.
