Staying healthy and having radiant skin is important at any age, and with just a little bit of effort, you
can achieve it without a lot of work if you get into a routine, and stick with it.
These Are The Steps to Healthy Skin At Every Age
1. Keep It Clean. This is a must as a start for
healthy skin. The products chosen to do this are
just as important as the cleaning itself. Most of us
grew up using bar soap, but that type can cause
dryness, making it feel tight. A better choice is a
cleansing cream, one that cleans as well as helps
keep the natural moisture in.
2. Drink Lots of Water. Drinking water is a good
habit to get into at any age and keeps the body
hydrated. When the body craves more water,
premature wrinkling can occur and give the person
an appearance of being older than they actually
are. Just adding water to the diet is a simple solution.
3. Eat A Healthy Diet. An abundance of fruits, vegetables and grains will add to a person’s overall
health. There are so many health benefits to a good remaining on a healthy diet, including protection
from certain diseases.
4. Moisturize. Every part of the body ages, so take a little care to keep an overall healthy look. A
good moisturizer will add to an healthy appearance if done on a regular basis.
5. Don’t Tan Indoors. Going to the tanning salon is tempting, but it is a known fact that indoor

3. tanning contributes to skin cancer.
6. Get A Tan Outdoors. Most health professionals agree that tanning is dangerous. It is a major
source of cancer and irritation to the skin from sunburn. A product with a high SPF is good preventative
care for the skin.
7. Don’t Over Scrub The Face. Using too much pressure to clean the face can cause tiny tears,
which may not be noticeable. Cleaning the face can be done gently, there is no reason to scrub
harshly.
8. Exercise. A regular exercise routine can help the body stay in overall good health, and with other
benefits as well. An ongoing exercise schedule can keep wrinkling at bay.
Most of the time, taking care of the skin is common
sense. Be careful when switching products
because that action alone can cause and
unexpected reaction, in the form of a rash,
formation of pimples, etc. Skin is sensitive and it
needs to be treated that way. Think twice about
what is put on it and if the product itself may be too
harsh.
Visit the dermatologist as preventive
maintenance. The doctor can examine a patient to
see if there are any problems the patient may not
be aware of. In addition, the doctor can examine
areas, such as the back, where an individual may
have a growth that they are not aware of.
Keeping the entire body clean is optimum for maintaining its good condition, but periodic visits to the
dermatologist can be of great value, too.
