Summer Skin Care Secrets
Take a long hard look at the people you consider attractive.
Blonde, brunette or redhead, exotic or girl next door,
sophisticated or down-to-earth – they all have one thing in
common… a clear, healthy looking complexion.
There are a few people out there who have simply been
blessed by the Dermatology Fairy, but just a few. Most of
the people who strike you as healthy-looking and, let’s face
it, lucky, are in fact dedicated to a good skin-care regime.
We’d all like to have blemish-free skin, and the truth is,
with a little commitment we all can. Even you!
So, how can you change your skin?
No, it won’t cost you a dime, all you need to do is change
your habits. People with truly beautiful skin dedicate time,
just a little, and the results are, well, the results are
beautiful.
Here’s How You Can Join the Ranks of Pimple Free People
* WASH using an oil-free cleanser and your bare hands
(washcloths and sponges damage your skin), in the morning,
after exercise and before bed no matter how tired you are.
* LAUNDER your sheets frequently – don’t lay that freshly
washed face on a less than fresh pillowcase!
* WATER is essential to clear skin. You’ve heard it before,
but here we go again: Drink at least eight glasses of water
a day.
* EAT HEALTHY FOODS. They are just as important to skin
health as they are to overall health. Fruits and vegetables
provide vitamins and minerals; fish are full of essential
oils; avoid junk foods. Research does not support the
common myth that chocolates cause break-outs, but too much
of any junk food is detrimental to your well-being, and is
therefore bad for your skin.
* SLEEP when you’re tired. Sleep, and its counterpart,
relaxation, are necessities, not luxuries. Physical
exhaustion and stress are enemies of a clear complexion.
* BABY your skin. Don’t pick at pimples. Avoid touching your
face unnecessarily – the oil on your fingertips belongs on
your fingertips, not on your face. Moisturize and use
sunscreen with at least a 15SPF every day all year long.
Make these habits your own and you will see a difference
in as little as a week. You may even find people looking
a little longer at your face. That look… it’ll be envy.
People will be wondering if the Dermatology Fairy has
blessed you.
Share your secrets with the envious masses. Imagine. A
world populated by happy, healthy faces.
