With new research, new products and new skin protection
advice popping up all the time, it is hard to figure out the best things
to do to improve and protect your skin. A skin care program is the
combination of skin care products and a routine that will be most
beneficial to the skin. You will first need to consider your diet and type
of life-style since these two factors play an important role in the health
of a person's skin.
These days we seem to be living in the fast-food age and
the condition of your skin is often neglected. You still can't beat the
old fruit and vegetable diet when it comes to good health and a good
complexion.
Also, body
sweat triggers production of sebum, which is the skin's own natural
moisturizer.
Remember to feed and nourish your skin by eating the
proper foods. Give your skin a drink too. Those eight glasses of water a
day your mom always told you to be sure to drink are essential to
maintaining your skin's elasticity and suppleness, say experts. And don't
count coffee or any of the caffeinated sodas as part of the eight glasses
because caffeine is dehydrating. The water you choose can be sparkling
water, mineral or straight from the tap. Another suggestion is that you
keep a liter-size bottle close at hand, or simply drink a glass or two
with your meals, and a few in between.
You need to give some thought and consideration to the
type of makeup you sue. And be sure to clean your tools regularly. Things
such as cosmetic brushes get dirty and can carry bacteria and germs and
may cause skin irritations and breaking out. One of the leading cosmetic
authorities suggests that cosmetic brushes be thoroughly cleaned at least
twice a month. A good way is to soak brushes for about 10 minutes in a
dish of warm, soapy water using mild liquid detergent or baby shampoo.
Rinse and blot excess moisture with a towel and stand the brushes, handle
end down, in a tall glass until they are thoroughly dry.
Keep environmental pollutants from being absorbed into the
skin with a good moisturizer that also acts as a skin barrier. Check the
labels for those with added Vitamin A, C and E, which help block the
penetration of pollutants.
A good exercise program such as aerobics can activate and
rejuvenate the skin and improve circulation and blood flow.
One skin care expert has come up with a do-it-yourself
version of a treatment you may like to try. Stir the juice of half a lemon
into one cup of plain yogurt. Keep it in the refrigerator and apply it as
you would a cream every night before bed. You can even apply a thin coat
of moisturizer over it is you like, after waiting about five minutes for
the yogurt mixture to penetrate. With consistent use, you should see more
even pigmentation and smoother skin in three to four weeks.
Get serious about stress reduction. Skin conditions such
as acne appear on many people who are stressed out, and chronic skin
conditions then to get worse. Set aside quiet time to meditate or
daydream. Be sure to get enough sleep. To avoid morning eye or facial
puffiness, sleep on your back so fluid doesn't collect there. And, you can
keep the oil from your hair away from your face by wearing a head covering
or a soft headband when you go to bed. And keep in mind that too much
stress can affect your overall health as well as your complexion.

Puffiness
under Eyes
Common causes of
this puffiness are lack of sleep and drinking excessive alcohol.
To reduce the puffiness, you can apply a cold compress until the
area returns to it' original state. If alcohol is the culprit,
increase your intake of fluids to rehydrate the skin.

Diet and Oily Skin
Did you know that what
you eat affects the amount of oil in your skin?
Fill your diet with raw
fruits and vegetables as these foods are beneficial to those with
oily, blemished prone skin.
Avoid animal fats and
dairy products as they have a tendency to make the condition worse !

Dehydrated Skin
Winter months can often mean
centrally heated home containing little moisture.
To solve this problem, invest in
a humidifier or even place bowls of water around your home. It
doesn't take a lot to put moisture back into your environment, you
simply have to remember to do it. |

Dark Circles around Eyes
Perhaps
the main reason for this is lack of sleep, but for some people it is
an inherited condition. As you age, the skin becomes thinner in this
area and you can see the underlying blood vessels and veins.
Other causes may be a sluggish
liver, allergies, sinusitis, or illness.
So what you can you do?
Use a concealer, go to bed a little earlier than normal, try raising
your top of your bed (for sinus problems), cold compresses and
plenty of fibrous food in your diet. At last resort, lasers can help
take care of the pigmentation problem.

Blemished Skin and Makeup
Applying make-up over blemishes
can only make the condition worse.
Why? The pores can become clogged
more than they already are and the ingredients in the make-up can
cause irritation leading to even more blemishes.
Save the make-up for a very
special occasion and remove it as soon as possible.
