Daily Skin Care Tips

Skin is our Body’s most Beautiful Organ. Like we are concerned about our other vital Organs, we need to be as concerned about our Skin too.

Here are some basic Tips to get a Beautiful, Younger & glowing Skin:

a) Protection from the Sun: We all are aware about the harmful Ultra-violet (UV) Rays coming from the Sun and what effects it can have on our Skin. Prolonged exposure to UV Rays is not only harmful but can cause extreme Ailments like Skin Cancer!!! This has been most experienced in Countries like Australia where many cases of Skin Cancer occur due to exposure to Sun.

Besides Cancer, some other Skin Problems which are common are Tanning, Wrinkles, Aging, Breakouts etc.

For Protection,

• Wear a minimum SPF 15 Sunscreen every Two Hours. If you are Swimming or Perspiring, use the Cream a little more often.     

• The Sun’s Rays are strongest between 1000 hrs to 1600 hrs. Avoid them during this Time as much as possible.

• Wear protective Clothing, especially if Riding or Walking on a Sunny Day. Wear Sun-protection Gloves for Hands. Cover your Face properly. Always Walk under an Umbrella during Afternoons.

b) Smoking – a complete no-no: Besides having well-known Negative Health effects, Smoking also contributes to Wrinkles and makes the Skin look Older. It narrows the Tiny Blood Vessels in the outermost Layers of the Skin, which decrease Blood Flow. This depletes the Skin of Oxygen and other Nutrients which are vital for its Health.

  

The best protection from this is Quit Smoking. Have a will-power for the same or take the help of a Doctor if you are unable to do it on your own.

Remember, SMOKING IS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH.

c) Gentle Care:

• Limit your Bath Time and use warm Water instead of Hot.

• Don’t use strong Soaps. Instead use mild Cleansers. Using strong Soaps & Hot Water removes essential Oils from the Skin.

• Gently pat Dry your Skin so that Moisture remains inside.

• Use a Moisturizer after Bath, according to your Skin type. If you are staying in a Hot Climate like North India, then this process is not required in Summers as the Skin is naturally moisturized through Perspiration.

Apart from the above, maintain your Skin Hygiene. Wash your Face with a good Face Wash (as per your Skin Type) twice a Day. Whenever you come home from Pollution, take out 5 Minutes to Cleanse your Skin with a good Cleanser, Wash the Face and Moisturize. Always remember to take out Make-up and Cleaning your Skin before going to Sleep no matter how tired you are.

d) Healthy Diet:  This is the Best Mantra. Eat plenty of Fruits, Green Vegetables, whole Grains etc. Drink lots of Water as it flushes out Toxins from the Body. A Diet Rich in Vitamin C helps in getting a younger looking Skin.

e) Don’t take stress: More than we can imagine, Stress does take a toll on our Skin. Although its quite difficult in the present day World, but try to take steps to handle Stress. Set reasonable limits for yourself and don’t stretch your Physical and Mental limits. Do what you Enjoy and take out Time with your Family or whatever you Love. This will surely have a surprising effect on your Skin.

The above Steps are Simple but give wondrous Results when applied.  Make them a part of your Daily Routine and you will be amazed with the Results which your Skin will offer.
