Healthy Skin Starts at Home

Facials are an amazing way to bring out your skin’s radiance and youthful vigor. But to jumpstart the process, start at home with a natural, healthy beauty regimen. Consider the common sense strategies your mother or even, your grandmother told you when you were young. We’ll give you a reality check on some of the best ways to have that vital, happy skin that you deserve.

Protect Yourself During Fun in the Sun

No matter which side of the argument you fall on concerning climate change; it’s a fact that the sun may not always be your friend. Exposure to damaging ultraviolet rays can wreak havoc on your skin. One of the best forms of skin protection involves wearing a sunscreen SPF 15 or higher, rain or shine.

Seek refuge in the shade during the harshest times for sun exposure, from late morning to early afternoon. If you have a deck or patio, choose to buy a covering that blocks UV rays. Most importantly, you can give yourself an advantage if you simply wear a hat and long-sleeved shirts during your fun in the sun.

Smoking is a Big No-No

Not only is smoking potentially cancerous according to overwhelming evidence; it can also age you. Pursing your lips together when you smoke creates unsightly wrinkles around your mouth and eyes. Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles.

If that weren’t bad enough, smoking weakens the important collagen in your skin that gives your face and skin its structure. Smoking can rob your skin of precious blood flow that distributes important nutrients and oxygen. The result? You can often identify smokers by their older, drier-looking skin.

Keep Your Personal Hygiene Rituals Simple and Gentle

What you use on your delicate skin matters so treat it accordingly. As good as it feels, lingering under a stream of hot water in the shower hurts the natural oils of your skin. Don’t use dishwashing liquid or harsh soap during your bath or shower. Instead, go for gentle, moisturizing soaps. After your bath or shower; moisturize to replenish your skin’s vital nutrients.
