Taking good care of your skin is important since it will not only make you feel good about yourself but it will also be appealing to those we interact with us. Keeping your skin clean is a big part of keeping it healthy and looking good. Here are a few tips:
-
A good bath once or twice a day is essential for personal cleanliness and good grooming. It is recommended to take a bath after any kind of strenuous physical activity such as cycling, running or any outdoor activity.
-
Use a mild soap and warm water to clean your body. You don't need to use a germicidal or antiseptic soap unless you have a medical or "smelliness" problem.
-
Exfoliate to keep your skin clean and free of all the dirt and "bad oils" that can creep into your pores. A healthier, cheaper, and more earth friendly way by using salts and sands instead of products that use chemicals and non-biodegradable containers. Epsom, kosher, and sea salts are excellent to add into home-made scrubs for your skin to get rid of the dead layers, to rejuvenate and cleanse your skin each time you use it. Be gentle with salt and sand exfoliation, it's so powerful you only need to do this once every two days or so.
-
Bath brushes, bath sponges, and mildly abrasive scrubbers are recommended. These mainly help to get rid of the dead skin cells that accumulate on your skin. You do not need to scrub violently. Your body produces its own moisturizer, an oil called sebum, which forms a protective layer over your skin. If you wash too much of this off, your skin is likely to feel dry and itchy.
-
Protect your skin against the sun- Always wear a sunscreen to prevent your skin from the harmful rays of the sun.
-
Drink a lot of water and eat healthy including all the essential vitamins and minerals in your diet.
-
Use cleansers, toners and moisturizers. Soap and water works well as an alternative to cleansers for many people. Cleaning your skin removes dead cells and extra oil. Toners remove oils from the skin's surface and make your skin feel tight and clean. Using moisturizers during the day will make your skin feel smooth and soft, because they make a smooth layer over the dead skin cells on the surface of your skin.
-
Exercise to keep your skin looking radiant, youthful, and natural. Simple exercises like walking everyday can keep your blood circulating properly, your skin won’t be as blotchy and you will notice a healthy glow to your cheeks.
-
Get the required amount of sleep daily to keep your skin healthy. You can tell by the color, texture, and tone of your skin if you've got the recommended 8 hours of sleep or not. Sleep is one of the best gifts you can give your skin!
