Skin Care Products & Articles

Who doesn’t want healthy skin? Even men are now taking care of their skin, it is no longer the realm of just women. The idea of this writing is to give you some tips on keeping your skin healthy and looking great. There are 10 here, we could go on, but don’t want this to turn into a book!

* Perhaps the most important tip, hence the first one we offer, is that you should know your skin type. The reason being that not all skin care products are suitable for all skin types. You will find that most of them specify on the lable which skin type it is aimed at.

* ‘Drink a lot of water’. This will not keep your skin moist but will help in overall upkeep of your health (and in turn your skin). It might seem a bit awkward to some, however, this is an important skin care tip.

* Cleanse your skin regularly (1-2 times everyday). A very effective skin care tip that helps in getting rid of the dirt and other harsh elements from your skin. Cleansing is especially important when you have been out of your house (and hence exposed to pollutants, dust etc). This skin care tip also advocates the use of Luke warm water for cleansing (hot and cold water, both, cause damage to your skin)

*Be kind to your skin, and don’t be too harsh with it. Scrubbing and exfoliating can take its toll if overdone. Many people use too much product too. Use a quality product and you won’t need to use as much – it lasts longer too, so even if you pay a little more, they can work out just as cost effective as the cheaper brands in the long run.

* Keep your skin moist at all times. This is one of the most important skin care tip. Don’t let your skin get dry. Dryness causes the outer layer of your skin to break, leading to a rough and unattractive appearance. Use moisturisers/ emollients. Moisturisers work best when applied while the skin is still damp.

* Try to avoid using soap on your face. We know this sounds strange, but soap can be quite aggressive and drying to the skin. Cleansing will be sufficient to you’re your face clean, and you are free to use soap anywhere else!

* Use sunscreen to protect yourself from sun’s harmful UV radiations. You can use day-time moisturisers that have sunscreen built into them. Use them even when it’s cloudy. UV radiations are known to cause skin cancer, so follow this skin care tip without fail.

* Lack of sleep can cause wrinkles below the eyes, and lack of exercise may make your skin sag. You will notice that a lot of these skin care tips co-exist with being healthy, and this is another example. Exercise and proper sleep help your skin, but also your general well being.

* Keep an eye on your skin for any changes. They could just be down to age, or if you find sudden moles or discoloured patches something that is worth getting checked out at the doctors. It is unlikely to be serious, and anything is more easily treated if it is found early on.

* Beat the stress. The harmful effects of stress are known to everyone, however, sometimes stating the obvious is essential too (and hence this skin care tip found its place here). Yes, stress harms skin too. So, take a break or indulge in a warm bubble bath or just get good sleep.
