Your skin is one of the first things that people will notice about you. In addition, it is a great indicator of your health. For example, when you are not feeling well or you're suffering from an illness, your skin can become pale and pasty looking. Your skin can appear dry and ashy if you are not properly hydrated and lack luster and wrinkled from too much sun exposure.
Therefore, proper skin care is very important to your skin's health and to your appearance. There are numerous skin care tips scattered about online and in countless book and magazines, but the tips below have been proven to be the best practices as well as the least expensive to implement into your daily beauty routine.
The best of the best - Skin care tips
These skin care tips will have your skin glowing and looking youthful again. Also, they will not put you in the poor house. These are quick and simple tips that will produce results right away.
Sun screen is a must.
If you do not wear something to protect your skin from the damaging UV rays from the sun, you will begin to notice fine lines and wrinkles as early as your 20's. Also, some people develop freckles and even sun spots, which are dark blotchy areas on the skin. But worst of all, unprotected skin is at risk of developing cancer.
Hydrate your skin every day.
Hydrating your skin is an essential part or the process. First, you need to drink plenty of water every day. I realize this sounds cliché, but it really does affect the quality of your skin. The minimum requirement is eight glasses of water. However, some in the beauty industry recommend trying to consume one gallon of pure filtered water a day. Second, you must use a high quality hydrating lotion and/or cream all over your body. This should be done every time you get out of the shower and are not completely dry. The lotion will help lock in extra moisture into the skin when you apply it while your skin is damp and your pores are still open.
Avoid tanning beds and long periods of sun exposure, even if you are using sun screen.
Sun tanning for extended periods and tanning beds are notorious for causing skin damage, especially if you have ever gotten burned. The more you expose your skin to UV rays, the higher your chances for developing skin cancer are. Plus, this exposure ages the skin extremely quick. Also remember that even darker skin tones should apply sunscreen.
Never start smoking or stop smoking abruptly.
This is one of the fastest ways to age your skin, especially on the face and around the mouth. Smokers usually develop the tell-tale deep lines around the mouth. Also, premature aging can develop in as little as a few years into being a smoker. The harmful chemicals and substances in cigarettes are the culprit behind this.
These are the best tips in keeping your skin looking bright and youthful. Although these may seem like common sense, many people tend to overlook them because they are so simple. It is like missing the forest for the trees kind of thing. If you follow just these four tips, you will begin to see a difference right away and the best part is, you don't have to spend an arm and a leg for results.
