1. Follow This Great Advice For Getting Healthy Skin
Skin happens to be the bodies largest organ, and it’s what people first notice. Therefore, you
should follow a good skin care regimen that will keep you looking young, healthy, and fresh. The
tips found here will advance the health of your skin right now and for the future.
TIP! Avoid consuming too much sodium. Foods like diet soda, canned vegetables, and frozen dinners tend to be very high in sodium.
The use of olive oil to care for your skin is not a new idea. The use of olive oil for the skin dates
back to Cleopatra. This is an ingredient that is beneficial and tasty as well. Olive oil can aid in
the prevention and healing of dry skin and improve nail strength. Applying it to your hair will aid
in improving the shine as well as conditioning it.
A day or two before you shave exfoliate your skin with a product that is hypo-allergenic, natural
and most of all, gentle. This removes buildup of dead skin cells, which reduces friction and
allows for a smoother shave. Additionally, dead skin cells can cause shaven hairs to adhere to
your sensitive skin, and this can cause irritation.
TIP! Drinking enough water is critical for good skin care. Your skin’s cells need hydration, which is why you need to have 64 ounces of water
daily.
At home you can create a mask to give you glowing skin. You can make a somewhat smooth
paste out of ground raw almonds with olive oil and milk. Now add some ground up orange peels
to the mix. Apply the mask to your face and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Next, you would wash
this mixture off gently, then run an ice cube over your face.
You can keep your skin looking young and healthy by not smoking. Smoking makes the blood
vessels in the face smaller, decreasing blood flow. The facial movements that accompany
smoking may also lead to formation of wrinkles.
TIP! In addition to causing wrinkles and marred pigmentation of the skin, excessive sunlight is known to cause skin cancer and various
maladies. Cover yourself well when you will be in the sun, and use plenty of sunscreen with a high SPF rating.
Hangnails can be frustrating, but are easy to get rid of by simply keeping your hands and nail
beds moisturized. For the best results, use a lotion that contains shea butter or try olive oil. They
are both great moisturizers. You may also find that moisturizing before bed time, then donning
gloves, will help keep your hands super soft. Although it is tempting, picking at hangnails can
cause painful infections and flaky skin.

2. When skin is sensitive, use a sharp, new razor. If you use an old razor, or one of inferior quality,
it will irritate your skin by pulling on the hairs and scraping. This can lead to razor burn, chafing,
and painful bumps. A razor blade should go over your skin in a smooth and effortless manner.
TIP! You should reapply sunscreen on a regular basis. Pay attention to the instructions that are on the back of the bottle.
Sun is extremely dangerous to a baby’s skin, so for the first months of its life, be sure to keep it
away from sunlight at all costs. For future months, make sure you use ample amounts of
sunscreen and shade to keep your baby safe. If a sunburn does occur, use a cold cloth to
provide some relief for your baby. Immediately contact your pediatrician for other suggestions if
the sunburn concerns you.
Take care of your feet as well as your skin. Your feet are part of your overall skin health. Get a
lubricant such as Vaseline to keep your feet hydrated and healthy.
Your sensitive skin will respond better to more gentle products. To avoid harsh chemicals, look
for skincare products that are non-scented and hypoallergenic.
A tan certainly does look healthy, but it can have a seriously negative impact on your skin. For a
safe tan, avoid sunbathing and tanning booths, and opt for tanning lotions instead. The sun
produces UV rays which can cause melanoma cancer in the future.
TIP! Water is essential to life. Keeping yourself hydrated is necessary not only for your overall health, but to keep skin looking good.
Your lips also need to be protected too. Especially in the winter months, the air will be very dry.
If you leave your lips without moisturizer during the winter, they could get very dry resulting in
cracks, which are very painful.
Lip Balm
TIP! Wearing sunscreen with a high SPF factor is one of the best things you can do for your skin. This provides your skin with additional
protection from the sun.
Be sure to apply lip balm to your lips before you go outdoors, in order to protect the delicate lip
skin from the sun. The skin on your lips is very thin, making it more susceptible to the damaging
sun rays, so lip balm adds a little extra protection.
Loofah your skin regularly to remove dead skin cells and rejuvenate your skin. If you remove the
dead skin cells, your blemishes will appear lighter and your skin will look better. Having multiple
layers of skin that is dead has the ability to make you look older. You can revitalize your face by

To care for your skin properly, you should not smoke. Smoking ages you really quickly and
accelerates the appearance of wrinkles. Oxygen flow to your skin is cut when you smoke.
Finally, it can damage two important fibers, elastin and collagen. Smoking can cause the skin to
become wrinkled around the eyes and mouth.
Make sure you research the aesthetician that you plan to use to make sure he/she is licensed
and has plenty of happy customers. A majority of the training to be an aesthetician is focused
on selling rather than on the proper techniques to use. A medical spa has highly trained
professionals in charge of providing the spa’s services.
TIP! One of the most important ways to avoid damage to your skin is to stay away from tanning beds. Although they advertise as being safe,
this type of tanning can be dangerous.
