Skin care tips
Your skin is the most essential part in the outlook of your whole well being. People will notice when you’re at the prime of your health or not, as your skin reflects what’s happening inside your body.
There are a lot of factors which can damage your skin. Illnesses, pollution, sun exposure, lack of proper hygiene, vitamins and unbalanced diet are just some of the agents that can do great harm to it.
Get to know more about your skin and how to protect it by following these health facts.
01. Taking in Vitamins for good skin health
Studies reveal that certain vitamins and minerals can help improve not only your skin’s appearance and beauty but your overall health. Ample sources of vitamins and minerals are healthy meals consisting of select meats, fruits and vegetables or you can orally take multivitamin capsules or tablets.
Your skin needs the following vitamins for it to be protected and function well.
Vitamin AImproves blood circulation in the skin tissues and metabolism. Vitamin B is important in the production of antibodies and the functioning of the immune system.
This vitamin is vital for healthy skin tone and in the relief of anxiety and stress.
Vitamin CAn antioxidant, Vitamin C is very important in healing wounds and is very essential to maintain good looks and the prevention of broken blood vessels.
When topically applied, Vitamin C can also help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and lessen the severity of sunburns.
Vitamin EThis vitamin is another antioxidant that also has anti- inflammatory effects on the skin. When applied topically, Vitamin E promotes moisturization, softness and smoothness of the skin while protecting it from the harmful effects of the sun and other environmental factors.
02. Sunscreen Protection- a must for the outdoors
Grave exposure to the sun can lead to moisture loss, dark patches and premature aging. You need to use sunscreen to protect your skin against harmful ultra violet rays (UV) which could often pose a serious threat to your health.
Select a good sunscreen product to provide you the best protection possible. Product should protect you from both UVA and UVB rays. Read and select the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) label. If you happened to have sensitive skin, choose a sunscreen with SPF 20 or higher.
Apply the sunscreen 20 minutes or more before basking in the sun. This will give ample time for the skin to absorb the product.
Don’t forget to always take your sunscreen with you and re-apply when you deem it necessary. Whether you’re basking by the beach or on the hills, always remember that reflective surfaces as water actually increases the effects of UV radiation.
03. Protect your skin from air pollutants
Like it or not, your skin is frequently exposed to pollutants. You come home from work, school, or just about any outdoor activity; you’re exposing your body to air pollutants.
Follow these simple measures to protect yourself:
- a. Always wash your face after returning home with a good facial wash or soap to remove dirt and other elements from your skin’s surface.
- b. Use a mild cleanser regularly, if you feel you will be exposed outdoors for a very long time.
- c. Use a moisturizer or foundation, to provide an optimal layer of protection against pollutants.
