Your skin is your beauty, either you believe it or not you must care for it.
Good skin care — including sun protection and gentle cleansing — can keep your skin healthy and glowing for years to come.
Don’t have time for intensive skin care? Get started with these no-nonsense tips.
Treat your skin gently
Daily cleansing and shaving can take a toll on your skin. To keep it gentle:
• Limit bath time. Hot water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin. Limit your bath or shower time, and use warm — rather than hot — water.
• Avoid strong soaps. Strong soaps and detergents can strip oil from your skin. Instead, choose mild cleansers.
• Shave carefully. To protect and lubricate your skin, apply shaving cream, lotion or gel before shaving. For the closest shave, use a clean, sharp razor. Shave in the direction the hair grows, not against it.
• Pat dry. After washing or bathing, gently pat or blot your skin dry with a towel so that some moisture remains on your skin.
• Moisturize dry skin. If your skin is dry, use a moisturizer that fits your skin type.
Eat a healthy diet
A healthy diet can help you look and feel your best. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. The association between diet and acne isn’t clear — but some research suggests that a diet rich in vitamin C and low in unhealthy fats and processed or refined carbohydrates might promote younger looking skin.

This is actually the type of health tips I recommended for my uncle.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ggbenga.
Wow. Thank God I actually do some of these things. I stay away from harsh soaps and don't stay too long in the shower especially since I have dry skin. Nice tips!
