April 26th, 2010

Here are some tips to remember when going out for the day:

  • Try to keep out of the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when the sun’s rays are strongest. Tanning is overrated, anyway. But you do need some sun to process vitamin D, which helps keep skin smooth and moist.

Natural Skin Care Tips for Healthier, Beautiful Skin

March 1st, 2010

Getting healthier skin is not contingent upon high-cost prescription medications or obsessive skin care routines. Modifying your daily routine a tiny bit and upholding disciplined cleansing habits can help to add flawless skin to the list of your best qualities.

Eat healthier
By avoiding foods that often make your face breakout, your skin will be less oily and more resistant to blemishes. Some problem foods that may cause pimples or breakouts include chocolate and other candy, French fries, fast food, pizza and soft drinks.

To get your skin in better shape, you may not have to give up everything that has negative effects on your skin, but rather, eat those things in moderation. Have greasier foods as a special treat or on rare occasion when eating a healthy, balanced meal is out of the question.

Hydrate and exercise
Drinking the recommended eight glasses of water per day coupled with some regular exercise – walking, running, bicycling, engaging in sports – should have a great impact on one’s complexion. Increased blood flow due to aerobic exercise will positively impact one’s complexion with a glowing look to replace dull skin.

Not only will exercise and drinking water help skin tone and texture, but it will also make you feel more energized and great about yourself. By keeping your body in shape, you will feel less stressed and more capable of achieving those things you set out to do.

Monitor sun exposure
By using a moderate strength sunscreen, you will be protecting your skin from sun damage, skin cancer, aging and premature wrinkles. Too much sun can blister one’s lips, leaving them red, sore and charred. Sunburned skin will eventually peel most times, leaving skin areas blotchy and sensitive. The best approach to preventing sunburn and other sun-caused skin problems is to monitor how much time one spends in the sun and to avoid sun exposure by using sunscreen with SPF 15 or greater.

Practice a regular cleansing routine
Cleanse, exfoliate, tone and moisturize – this daily routine should carry you on your way toward healthier skin. Select a gentle skin cleansing solution that works for your specific type of skin – dry, oily, normal. Using your selected product, cleanse face in a circular motion and rinse with lukewarm water, as hot water zaps skin’s moisture.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Follow the cleansing stage with an exfoliant. A granular product is often especially effective in smoothing rough areas and releasing dead skin cells, allowing the face to be better moisturized. Perfect moisturizer

After the exfoliation process concludes, use a toner or an astringent to tighten skin and remove any makeup or cleanser residue. A nice alternative to a toner or astringent would be doing a facial masque at least once a week, which tackles clogged pores while also firming skin and leaving it soft and silky.

Finally, pat skin dry with a soft towel but do not dry up all the water. Apply a moisturizer (with or without sunscreen) to help protect skin from dryness. Those who have oily skin do not have to moisturize as often as those who have dry, normal or combination skin.

By following the daily skin care routine along with drinking lots of water, exercising and protecting your skin from sun damage, you should soon notice positive results. Maintaining discipline and adhering to your goal to achieve healthier skin make the actual task at hand so much easier to accomplish.

How to Decide What Lotion to Use and When

February 24th, 2010

All these types of skin care body lotion come in a variety of scents, healing abilities, and features. Also, it uses different essential oils to be more effective. It is quite easy to determine which type of lotion to buy but nonetheless, here are good tips to guide you:

Get a sunscreen lotion if you intend to stay under the sun for long

Sunscreen lotions are popularly used in beaches and uncovered pools. But it should also be used for other outdoor activities that require you to be under the sun for hours. Such activities include hiking, mountain climbing, and day camping. If you want to watch sports and games held in an open arena, better get a bottle as well.

Get lotions with AHA or alpha hydroxyl acids if your skin needs firming

AHA is a very popular lotion ingredient. It is an acid found in red wine, sour milk, and certain fruits. It is also effective in smoothing skin that is damaged by the sun’s harmful rays. Get it if you think your skin has lost its innate radiance.

Get scented lotions for a romantic effect

Your skin needs fragrance too. And to ensure that your body scent does not rely on your perfume alone, apply lotion that matches your favorite fragrance for that date tonight. Also, try to use a matching lotion lip balm with your lipstick. You don’t want your skin to dry out and ruin your perfect night, would you?

Get all-natural high moisturizing lotion for your everyday use

Just like perfumes, you have ones you use everyday and ones you use only for special occasions. It goes true for lotions as well. An all-effective lotion with a mild scent is perfect for an after bath lotion. And most of the time, these come cheaper than those colored and fragrant ones. Organic skin care products fall under this category.

Get a night lotion with a relaxing effect

Most moisturizes works well at night. This is because when you sleep the body is in total relaxation. During which time, the process of moisturizing works to its maximum. So to ensure yourself of a good night sleep and a beauty rest every time, get yourself a bottle of relaxing lotion with a mild scent of essential oils like chamomile, jasmine, and lavender.

Buying and using just any lotion is not exactly right. Always get a bath lotion for dry skin or a body lotion for oily skin, if your skin is like that. Milk bath skin lotion, on the other hand, is what you should use if you want to maintain your skin’s youthful glow. The proper care of your skin starts with the type of lotion you choose!
