The
do`s and don'ts of perfect skin
- Do
exercise. People who are physically fit look
good and feel good. Exercise brings more oxygen
and nutrients to the skin so that it is firmer
and better nourished. It is also thought that
exercise slows down aging. A regular exercise
program will help to lengthen your life, improve
your appearance, build your self-confidence
and reshape your figure. Exercise also benefits
the skin by helping to maintain a clear circulation,
calming the nerves and promoting a deeper, more
revitalizing sleep. So move more, be younger,
look better!
- Do
use products. You should cleanse your face every
day using three different products. Cleanser,
toner and moisturiser. Use products only for
your skin type i.e.. Oily, dry etc..
- Do
drink water. Water is essential for the hydration
of the skin to keep it moist, soft, supple and
clear. Loss of moisture from the skin is one
main cause of wrinkles. You should drink at
least 8 glasses of water a day.
- Do
rest. We don`t get enough rest or sleep and
are often tired. The average amount of sleep
we need is 8 hours a night but less than half
of us only have 5 to 6 hours. Not resting or
sleeping properly will start to show as you
age. Not only does lack of sleep make your eyes
puffy but will make your skin look dry and dull.
- Do
eat properly. It is very important that you
maintain a proper diet. You should eat at least
five portions of fruit or vegetables a day to
keep your vitamin levels up. Take multivitamin
if you don`t think you are getting enough. Try
to avoid fatty foods as they cause spots and
will make your skin greasy.
- Don`t
smoke. Cigarette smoking robs the skin of its
vitality and potential for being smooth and
attractive. Smoking also restricts blood flow
and toxin to and from the skin. People who smoke
have a depleted, pallid complexion and skin
that wrinkles prematurely.
- Don`t
over do the booze. Alcohol can dehydrate the
skin and impede circulation, thus robbing the
skin of precious moisture and depletes the body
of vitamins and minerals needed for a healthy
complexion.
- Don`t
stress out. Not only is stress bad for your
physically as well as mentally but it is also
bad for your skin. Your face can break out with
spots, inflammation and make it sensitive and
dull looking. So chill out!
- Don`t
fry. Avoid rays when they are strongest always
use a high factor sunscreen (SP15 or higher).
Don`t over do sun beds. Sunbeds also damage
your skin and can cause dryness as well as skin
cancer. The safest way to get a sun tan is to
FAKE IT.
