Unfortunately, there is no such skin care product on the market that can stop the natural progression of aging. Certain products can help to give your skin the appearance of having slowed the aging process, but there is no stopping it. Many skincare products are expensive and require too much time and effort to apply. You can keep it simple save yourself some money, and get results as good as you would get from using expensive over-the-counter skin care products, by following these 10 tips.
1. Know your skin type: Do you have dry skin or oily skin? Knowing your skin type is important in order to know which skin care products or skincare routines are right for you. Nowadays, many skin care products are designed specifically for the type of skin they cater too because not everyone reacts to the same product the same way.
2. Drink an adequate amount of water every day: Water not only help keep your skin moist and your body properly hydrated, it is also necessary to your overall health.
3. Cleanse your skin at least once a day: Cleansing is especially important when you have been out of your house and your skin have been exposed to pollutants and dust. Wash you skin with lukewarm water – not too hot and not too cold. Be gentle and don’t scrub too hard or too often. Pat – don’t rub – your skin dry with a clean towel.
4. Keep your skin moist at all times: Don’t let your skin get dry. Use a moisturizer every day. Moisturizers work best when applied while the skin is still damp.
5. Avoid the use of harsh soap on your face: Wash your face at least twice a day and don’t use soap. Reserve soap for the rest of your body below your neck.
6. Use sunscreen to protect exposed skin: Put on sunscreen on any exposed skin surface whenever you go outdoor in the sun – even in winter and when it’s cloudy. Wear a hat to shade your head and face; and wear long sleeve shirt to cover your arms. The sun’s harmful UV rays will speed up your skin aging process and are known to cause skin cancer.
7. Exercise regularly: Exercise promotes circulation and for healthy mind and body.
8. Get enough sleep: Lack of sleep can lead to sacking skin, especially under your eyes. Sleep also is vital for lowering stress and the overall state of your health.
9. Manage stress: Stress not only affect you state of mind and your health, it also has a negative effect on your skin. Take time out from even a busy schedule to would down and refresh, either through exercise, sleep or bubble baths.
10. Healthy diet: The skin is the largest organ of your body. You skin is often a reflection of the general health of your inner body. Eating healthy and having healthy eating habits is important to maintain your body and your skin.
