10 Tips To Having A Perfect Skin by culhealthcom(f): 9:48am On Aug 26, 2013 |
1. feed on healthy diet rich in minerals and vitamins your body needs, ranging from vitamin B,C,E,A and K. Vitamin B forms the basis of skin, nails and hair. You can find this vitamin in foods like oatmeal, eggs, rice, and bananas Vitamin C protects your skin from sun exposure, keeping you away from skin cancer. Vitamin C pops up in citrus foods such as lemons, limes, oranges, bell peppers,grape juice, and leafy greens. Vitamin E also helps protect your skin against sun exposure, and can be found in foods such as olives, spinach, nuts, seeds and vegetable oils. Vitamin A is essential for repair of the skin tissue-without it your skin will look dry and flaky. Vitamin A is found in fruits and veggies. Vitamin K helps reduce dark circles under eyes, as well as bruises. Vitamin K is hidden away in leafy green vegetables, dairy products, and meats such as liver. 2.Loads of fruits and veggies, nuts, rice and eggs will help your skin. Don't forget to drink lots of water to make your skin glow! 3.Always wear sun screen, sunglasses and a hat when you go out in the sun. 4.Find out what skin type you have: oily, dry, sensitive, or combination skin 5.Buy an appropriate soap/cleanser and moisturizer for your skin. It is not an essential to use a toner. Make sure you avoid harsh chemicals, and chemicals that aren't good for your skin type. 6.Wash your skin 2-3 times a day, with a dollop of cleanser/soap. Don't slather on moisturizer or put on a tiny amount-use an amount which you feel moisturizes your skin without making it too oily. 7.It might seem ineffective, but water is a great cleanser, particularly for young and oily skin. Hot water is good for oily skin; warm and lukewarm are good for other skin types. Moisturize afterwards. Wash your face in the morning and night, and if you want to, in the afternoon or after school. Make sure you wash your hands before washing your face, or you'll just spread bacteria and dirt. Find a good cleanser and moisturizer make sure it is organic, chemical and yummy smelling cleansers don't do the trick. Choose carefully, and be aware of your skin type. 8.Treat your skin. Once a week you can give your skin a treat, such as applying a face mask or steaming your skin. But make sure what you treat your skin with suits your skin type, or you might make things worse. Instead of harshly exfoliating for acne, try using tea tree oil-it really works. Dab a small amount of tea tree oil on the spot, or steam your face with it. For oily or sensitive skin, you might want to skip the fancy products and simply apply yogurt to your face. It also helps acne. Yogurt clears the skin and is gentle. This will work for dry skin too.Wash and moisturize after steaming, exfoliating or applying a face mask. 9.Exfoliate twice a week. It is also very good to exfoliate dead skin off your face. Dead flakes trap the oil and bacteria growing inside that cause acne. Exfoliate with a peel or scrub. Do not do it too often or harshly; that will make it worse. 10.Always stick to organic food. And remember to drink lots of water. Water flushes out the dirt and bad stuff that can cause bad skin. when you abide by these simple rules, you'll surely get a perfect skin. cheers 1 Like |
