Basic Skin Care Tips Everybody Must Follow

I have been writing a lot about some tips in taking care of our skin but I was not able to blog about the basic and most essential. That is the reason I came up with these basic skin care tips everyone must follow! This is before all the supplements and facial products so before buying anything for your skin, make sure to follow these simple steps.

PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT

Sunlight in the morning is healthy and a very good source of vitamin-e that is much needed by our skin but direct sunlight from 9 AM until 3 PM can cause skin irritation or worst, skin cancer.

So in order to fight back from the sun's harmful UV rays, make sure you always sunscreen with an SF of at least 15. Apply sunscreen on to your skin generously and do not forget to re-apply every after 2 hours of direct exposure to sunlight.

DO NOT SMOKE

Did you know that smoking can make your skin look old and can also cause wrinkles? If not, maybe this will help you change your mind. It damages collagen and elastin, essential susbstance naturally found in our body that makes our skin elastic.

TREAT YOUR SKIN GENTLY

In taking a bath, it is recommended to use warm water instead of a cold one. Taking a bath for a long period of time will remove natural oil in your body so make sure to limit bath time. Use soaps that are gentle to your skin and most importantly, moisturize after bathing.

EAT A HEALTHY DIET

Eat plenty of fruits, vegetable, whole grains and lean proteins. If you want younger looking skin, experts say that having a diet that is rich with vitamin C and low in unhealthy fats will you that look you are aiming for.
