Your skin is the largest organ of your body. It’s also the most visible. As we age, deal with stress, and live with various environmental factors, we have to work harder to keep our skin looking healthy and younger. Just like a nutrition and workout plan would help your muscles and shape of your body, a strategy for your skin is best to help you protect your skin and maintain how it looks. Here are a few tips to help you create your own skin care plan.
Avoid Too Much Sun Exposure
You should do your best to protect your skin from excessive sun exposure. Being exposed too much can lead to burning as well as premature wrinkles. Too much exposure over the long term can leave the skin vulnerable to skin cancer. Wear loose clothing and hats when you’re going to be out in the sun. If you’re in a bathing suit or swimming trunks, use a sunscreen with a strong SPF for extra protection.
Remove Your Makeup
Wearing makeup longer than necessary is also bad for your skin. Make sure you take your makeup off as soon as you can clean the skin to help keep it clear and healthy. Don’t even wait until you go to bed.
Eat Well and Stay Hydrated
You may already be eating healthy and drinking plenty of water every day anyway. If so, keep doing so and your skin will thank you. If not, then you should consider doing so for the sake of your skin. Any produce or nuts are great choices of foods to keep in your diet. Fatty fish like salmon or mackerel can be beneficial as well.
As for water, eight glasses a day can help the body remove toxins from the skin. There are many people who believe that their skin has a better glow to it when they drink water more often.
Use Skin Care Products
Quality medical grade skin care products can be a game changer for anyone concerned with skin health. Products like those made by SkinMedica can help users change the appearance of their skin and correct signs of issues like aging as well as photo damage, acne, dry skin, and oily skin. Having a regular regimen that you follow every day can lead to a transformation of your skin that you will see sooner rather than later.
