Healthy skin is really one of the most important
ingredients for beauty-enhancement. This article
on skin care tips is an effort to bring the 10
best skin care tips to you. The list of skin
care tips has been restricted to 10 because
anything more that that would not only be
difficult to remember, but also shadow the more
important skin care tips. So let’s see what
these top ten skin care tips are:
* Knowing your skin type is one of the most
important skin care tip. This is important
because not every skin care product suits
everyone. In fact, all the skin care products
specify the type of skin they cater too.
* ‘Drink a lot of water’. This will not keep
your skin moist but will help in overall upkeep
of your health (and in turn your skin). It might
seem a bit awkward to some, however, this is an
important skin care tip.
* Cleanse your skin regularly (1-2 times
everyday). A very effective skin care tip that
helps in getting rid of the dirt and other harsh
elements from your skin. Cleansing is especially
important when you have been out of your house
(and hence exposed to pollutants, dust etc).
This skin care tip also advocates the use of
Luke warm water for cleansing (hot and cold
water, both, cause damage to your skin)
* Be gentle, after all it’s your skin. Don’t
scrub/exfoliate too hard or too often.
Similarly, don’t apply too much or too many skin
care products. A must-to-follow skin care tip.
* Keep your skin moist at all times. This is one
of the most important skin care tip. Don’t let
your skin get dry. Dryness causes the outer
layer of your skin to break, leading to a rough
and unattractive appearance. Use moisturisers/
emollients. Moisturisers work best when applied
while the skin is still damp.
* Avoid the use of soap on your face. Soap
should only be used from below the neck. A small
but important skin care tip.
* Use sunscreen to protect yourself from sun’s
harmful UV radiations. You can use day-time
moisturisers that have sunscreen built into
them. Use them even when it’s cloudy. UV
radiations are known to cause skin cancer, so
follow this skin care tip without fail.
* A bit of exercise and good sleep are essential
too, not just for skin care but for your health
as a whole. Lack of sleep can lead to formation
of wrinkles below your eyes and lack of exercise
can cause your skin to slack. Moreover, exercise
and sleep also help in beating stress. So
besides being a skin care tip, this is also a
health care tip.
* Treat skin dilemmas with care. This skin care
tip is about not ignoring any skin dilemmas.
Consult your dermatologist before you go on to
use a skin care product (lest you do end up
harming your skin even more).
* Beat the stress. The harmful effects of stress
are known to everyone, however, sometimes
stating the obvious is essential too (and hence
this skin care tip found its place here). Yes,
stress harms skin too. So, take a break or
indulge in a warm bubble bath or just get good
sleep. |
