Skin Care Tips
There are a few little inexpensive things that you can change in your everyday life that will help your skin. All skin types will benefit from these simple tips!
1. Wear sunscreen! Even though it's winter right now UV rays are still out there. UV rays and sun damage are the #1 cause of aging skin.
2. Exfoliate! Or scrub the dead skin off. When dead skin accumulates on top of the skin it can cause premature aging, acne and blackheads. You can exfoliate by using a soft wash cloth, using AHA cleansers, receiving chemical peels or microdermabrasion, using an exfoliating brush, or using an exfoliating cleanser with microbeads. Depending on your skin type you will exfoliate less or more. If you have dry or sensiive skin you will only want to exfoliate once a week or less. If you are combination or oily you can exfoliate maybe a few times a week. If you have normal skin you will fall somewhere inbetween. Just remember, your skin should never be tender to the touch after exfloiating. If it is, use less force when rubbing and cut back on frequency.
3. Get your body regular! I know it's never fun to talk about but pooping is very important for every organ in your body. If your body is not properly disposing of waste in the bathroom, the wast will find somewhere else to escape, your skin. This causes acne. Eat a diet high in fiber and you won't have to worry. There are even supplements that help with regularity.
4. Drink water!!! This is the most important tip I can give! Water is your body's fule! Most people in the world are dehydrated. 8 glasses a day is not enough! Especially if you drink soda, coffee, alcohol, juice or anything that isn't water. How do you know if you are drinking enough? Divide your body weight by 2 Drink that number in ounces. I weigh 135 lbs. divided by 2 is 67.5. I need to drink 67.5 ounces of water a day. If I drink a 16 ounce coke I will need o then drink an extra 32 ounces of water to cancel out the Coke and rehydrate my body. Making the total amount of water intake 99.5 ounces of water. It is a lot but it is essential to being as healthy as you can be! And it's always ok to drink more!
I hope these 4 easy tips can make a difference in your skin and overall health!
