Hey! Pay Attention To These Skin
Care Tips!
All the skin
care goop you can smear on, peel off or step into
cannot help you if you don’t do your part. There is
no instant solution for great skin – or even fairly
decent skin. Fortunately, these skin care tips will
not only help your skin look its best, but will help
every other part in your body, too. Think of it as
multitasking for your health! And if you do decide
to use any skin care product, they will work better
for you because you gave them a fighting chance.
Drink
Plenty Of Water
You need at
least six glasses of water a day. This is the least
expensive and most overlooked skin care tip out
there. Water does not equal liquid. Water,
flavored waters and herbal teas hydrate your body
and the skin. Other popular kinds of beverages do
not. Drinks like coffee, black tea, hot chocolate,
carbonated drinks, energy drinks and especially
alcohol dehydrate your body. They are okay only
occasionally.
Water not only
helps keep your skin soft, but helps to remove
toxins from your body. Drinking plenty of water has
other benefits besides skin care. Water helps keep
your urinary and digestive systems functioning
normally. Water helps keep all of the liquid parts
of your body flowing and helps give you energy.
Don’t Smoke
This is a
harsh but true skin care tip – if you smoke, your
skin is screwed. Smoking dehydrates your skin, as
well as making your more prone to wrinkles and skin
cancer. Smoking can also discolor the skin on many
parts of the body – not just in nicotine-stained
fingers. Smoking also leaves your skin smelling
like an old ash tray.
Learn
How To Handle Stress
Another tried
and true skin care tip that is often ignored is that
you need to learn how to handle your stress. Your
emotions not only show on your face, but they do a
number on your skin. Some aggravating skin
conditions like hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating),
psoriasis and eczema are aggravated when you are
stressed out. You need to learn how to prioritize
demands on your time and take time out for you.
Don’t turn to
chemicals or food in order to relax. That’s another
skin care tip that’s often ignored. Chemicals will
affect your skin. Use meditation, a walk in the
park, laughing with friends or petting your dog in
order to help you relax. Over time, these skin care
tips will leave you with a healthier body overall.
