Healthy skin is one of the most important elements of self-esteem. It requires care and attention to maintain a healthy glow and to remain soft and supple. Because our faces are most visible and are most exposed to the elements year-round, they require even more special consideration. Often, the first thing people notice when they meet you is your face and your skin’s complexion. As a result, keeping your skin clean and presentable is the easiest way to avoid being self-conscious when meeting new people.

COMPLEXION SPARKLERS

Put back a glowy shine on your face.

Combine together equal quantities of salt and baby oil. Rub gently to slough away rough, dull skin.

Splash face with icy cold water to which powdered nutmeg has been added.

Components of Good Skin

Good skin begins with good skin care. Cleansing, toning and moisturizing are all crucial elements of a good skin care routine.

Dermatologists recommend cleaning your skin twice daily, once in the morning after you wake and again in the evening before you go to bed. This schedule effectively removes dirt and oil, helping prevent oily skin and the formation of pimples. Another benefit of cleansing twice a day is that it is an effective way for women to remove their makeup.

Drink plenty of water and eat fruits and vegetables. Natural foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables contain vitamins and antioxidants that are good for our skin. Water keeps our system flushed out and moisturizes it from the inside.

Be careful when using certain types of laundry detergents. This is especially important for people with any kind of eczema, dermatitis, or sensitive skin. Some detergents irritate the skin and can cause it to break out. Use hypoallergenic products whenever possible. Use mild soaps and cleaning products which are less likely to irritate your skin.

Use sunscreen to protect against sunburn. Going out in the sun without protecting your skin from the UV rays from the sun can result in your skin being sunburned. Use sunscreen with SPF-15 or higher.

Facials and clean-ups only once every 2 months: Do not fall into the trap of frequent beauty treatments. Steaming and applying packs etc on your face too often will tire and disturb the natural balance of your skin.

Moisturize at night: It’s protection during the day and prevention at night. Your skin repairs itself while you sleep. So a light night cream, after removing all make-up will gently assist your skin’s rejuvenation process.
