You CAN Have Great Skin! Follow These Tips Skin is a big part of the first impression you make. That’s why you should keep your skin healthy and looking as good as possible. There are a lot of expensive products making grandiose claims about what they can do, but there are many cheaper, better-performing ways to make your skin look great. To help protect yourself, try to keep a lip balm on your lips at all times when you are outside in the sun. The lip balm helps protect the skin of your lips by providing a layer of protection against the burning and drying effects of the sun’s rays. TIP! A homemade mask is the key to glowing skin. Grind raw almonds along with milk and olive oil until it forms a semi-smooth paste.
A lot of people think tanned skin is a sign of health, but it can actually damage your skin. To tan safely, avoid going to tanning booths or sitting out in the sun and instead put on a self-tanning lotion. The ultraviolet light emitted by the sun and salon booths greatly increases your risk of skin cancer. Make a reduction in the amount of sugar you consume if you would like to improve your skin. Sugar breakdown within the body hurts collagen, which means your skin is less smooth or firm. Stick to carbohydrates that have naturally low levels of sugar to reduce the loss of your collagen. Whether the sun is shining or overcast, you need to protect your skin every day. Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure and choose a sunscreen that has broad spectrum UVB ray protection. Depending on the area you live in and how strong the sun is, choose an SPF as high as possible. This will stop your skin from burning and protect your face from lines, wrinkles, and skin cancer.
Skin Type To find out your skin type, you can use the tissue test. When you first wake up, press a tissue (make sure it is clean) over your face. Depending on how much oil is on the tissue you will know if you have oily, dry, normal or combination skin. Knowing your skin type is crucial to choosing the right products. You should reapply sunscreen on a regular basis. Pay attention to the instructions that are on the back of the bottle. If you prefer a quick and easy application, opt for a sunscreen in powder form, which can be applied with a brush. Powdered sunscreens come in space efficient compacts, making it easy to carry them in your purse. TIP! Here are a few great techniques to reduce the symptoms of eczema. Start by avoiding

For people with very dry, flaky skin, regular exfoliation can get pores unclogged and keep them clear of the debris that cause whitehead and blackhead pimples. During exfoliating sessions, you will lose accumulated dead skin which tends to reside on the exterior portions of your face and torso. This gives the new, hydrated skin cells a chance to come to the surface so you look fresh and are glowing. If your skin is highly sensitive, skip the exfoliating shower scrubs. Instead, you should use an organic cloth and lightly rub your body right after a hot bath. This removes dead skin cells and prevents irritation from abrasive scrubbing or harsh chemicals.
Dry Skin TIP! You can easily make your own, natural lip balm to deal with chapped lips. Combine grated cucumber, raw honey and a small dab of sour cream, then apply the mixture to your lips.
Avoid bar soap when you have issues with dry skin. Because many soaps dry skin out, it is better to wash yourself with a moisturizing body wash. When you bathe, avoid bubble baths since the foaming ingredients can irritate your skin. An oatmeal or oil based body wash followed by bath oil will moisturize your dry itchy skin. Apply moisturizer before showering to avoid the drying effects of water. Excessive exposure to sun can cause wrinkles and spots, but it can also threaten life in the form of cancer and other illnesses. Wearing sunscreen can help you avoid these risks. Gently exfoliate your sensitive skin with gentle, natural, hypo-allergenic products a few days before shaving. This helps slough away dead skin cells, and allows the razor to flow smoother on your skin. Unexfoliated skin is rough and can cause friction during a shave. Never wear damp gloves or socks. If you wear wet gloves or socks, they can make your skin irritated which can cause itching, cracking and even sometimes, eczema. Overuse of makeup can cause acne issues to worsen. Most types of makeup, including foundations and powders can cause your pores to become clogged. Clogged pores increase acne outbreaks and can worsen existing outbreaks. If you put makeup on over acne, it can cause an infection. Until your skin clears up, consider forgoing makeup entirely or only use it on rare occasions. Heavy liquid toners and concealers should not be used to cover up blemishes. Having healthy, clear skin without spending a lot on expensive soaps and creams seems impossible, but it isn’t. There are so many options out there, and it should be rather easy to find
