Healthy skin is really one of the most important ingredients
for beauty-
improvement. This article on skin care tips is an effort to bring
the 10 best skin care tips to you. The
list of skin care tips has been restricted to 10 because anything more that
would not only be difficult to remember, but also shadow the more important
skin care tips. So let's see what these top ten skin care tips are:
1. Knowing your skin
type is one of the most important skin care tip. This is important because not
every skin care product suits everybody. In fact, all the skin care products
specify the type of skin they cater too.
2. ‘Drink a lot of
water’. This will not keep your skin moist but will help in overall upkeep of
your health (and in turn your skin). It might seem a bit awkward to some,
however, this is an important skin care tip.
3. Cleanse your skin daily
(1-2 times everyday). A very useful skin
care tip that helps in getting rid of the dirt and other harsh elements from
your skin. Cleansing is especially important when you have been out of your
house (and hence exposed to pollutants, dust etc). This skin care tip also
advocates the use of Luke warm water for cleansing (hot and cold water, both,
cause damage to your skin)
4. Be gentle, after
all it's your skin. Don't scrub too hard or too often. Similarly,
don't apply too much or too many skin care products.
5. Keep your skin
moist at all times. This is one of the most important skin care tip. Don't let your skin get dry. Dryness causes
the outer layer of your skin to break, leading to a rough and unattractive
appearance. Use moisturizers/ emollients. Moisturizers work best when applied
while the skin is still damp.
6. Avoid the use of
soap on your face. Soap should only be used from below the neck. A small but main
skin care tip.
7. Use sunscreen to
protect yourself from sun's harmful UV radiations. You can use day-time moisturizers
that have sunscreen built into them. Use them even when it's cloudy. UV
radiations are known to cause skin cancer, so follow this skin care tip without
fail.
8. A bit of exercise
and good sleep are essential too, not just for skin care but for your health as
a whole. Lack of sleep can lead to formation of wrinkles below your eyes and
lack of exercise can cause your skin to slack. Moreover, exercise and sleep
also help in beating stress. So besides
being a skin care tip, this is also a health care tip.
9. Treat skin
dilemmas with care. This skin care tip
is about not ignoring any skin dilemmas. Consult your dermatologist before you
go on to use a skin care product (lest you do end up harming your skin even
more).
10. Beat the stress.
The harmful effects of stress are known to everyone, however, sometimes stating
the obvious is essential too (and hence this skin care tip found its place
here). Yes, stress harms skin too. So, take a break or indulge in a warm bubble
bath or just get good sleep.
