Your face is what you show to the world, and your skin has to look good or you won’t be at your best. It’s important to care for your skin to ensure that it has a healthy glow. Here are some tips about skin care that will keep you looking amazing!
To keep your skin healthy it is very important to drink plenty of water. Doing so can help your body flush out the toxins that can clog up your pores and cause skin imperfections and acne. Drinking the recommended amount of water (approximately 8 glasses a day) is sufficient for skin care.
To avoid acne, wash your hands before you touch your face. The oil and bacteria that you often have on your hands at any given moment during the day, can easily clog the pores on your face. Washing your hands is a free and simple solution to stopping bothersome acne!
A lemon juice wash has real benefits against acne, and it can help with enlarged pores or oily skin, too. Once or twice weekly, use the lemon juice to shrink enlarged pores and soak up excess oil.
Try not to overdo it with long hot baths and showers. The steamy, warm environment strips your skin of essential oils. This causes unattractive, flaky, dry skin that will have a hard time holding an moisture. Try to use warm instead of hot water and try bathing for shorter periods of time.
If your current day cream or lotion does not contain ingredients to protect your skin from the sun, consider mixing in a lightweight sunscreen. Ideally, your facial products should offer SPF of at least 15. Seek out skincare with sun-loving ingredients like vobenzone, Helioplex, or micronized zinc. These ingredients offer broad-spectrum coverage without affecting the appearance of the skin’s coloring.
The skin on your whole body needs to be cared for, so many of these tips can and should be used all over. Keep yourself feeling smooth and soft, and looking younger, to help your self-esteem. If you look great, and feel great, then you can do absolutely anything in life!
