Skin Care Tips
Wear a sunblock every day... The primary cause of premature
aging is exposure to the sun without adequate care and protection. Don't
wash your skin too often... Washing strips oil and moisture. Besides,
tap water contains chlorine which causes oxidative damage. Washing your face
twice a day is sufficient. Do not smoke... Smoking can cause
the skin to age prematurely, as well as take on an unflattering sallow tone.
Nicotine will reverse your anti aging routine quicker than anything else. Wear
sunglasses... This will protect the eyes as well as the skin care

around them. Take care in checking the products label and make sure they provide
UVA and UVB protection. Warm water over hot... When bathing
choose warm water over hot. It is not as drying and is more natural. Get
ample sleep... Most of the body's repair and rejuvenation occurs while
you sleep. Follow a nightly regimen... Apply products 1 hour
before bedtime to allow ample time to penetrate the skin. Exercise
regularly... It increases the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the
skin, which will give skin a natural, healthy glow. Choose products
carefully... Everyone's skin is different, so try several to see which
products work best for you and which produce an anti effect. Never
sleep with makeup... Sleeping with makeup is not natural for your
skin. It may also have an adverse effect with your anti aging routine.
bar soaps as they tend to dry out the skin. According to Rona Berg, in her
book, "Beauty," a French cosmetics executive once told her "soap should only
ever touch your skin from the neck down." We agree. skin care
According to Berg, most
cleansers contain oil, water and "surfactants." The oil dissolves oil on your
face, surfactants dissolve dirt and makeup and the water washes it all away.
The secret is finding the right mix of oil. (Makes sense to us). Too much on
your skin will clog pores, while too little will dry it out. This is why you
need to know your skin type.

Should you use a toner? Some people swear by toners, but many
beauty experts do not (I once read a skincare expert claim, 'toners are only
for copy machines'). Toners are meant to remove all remaining traces of oil,
makeup and dirt, but a good cleanser should do this. I firmly believe it's up
to you. If you like the way your skin feels with a toner. Buy it. Use it. Enjoy
it.
