Discover Simple Yet Effective Skin Care Tips

By Wendy Racklave

Skin is the first barrier against daily aggressions caused by environmental factors and pollution. For this reason, it's crucial to pay attention to any change that may affect your skin. I know that you heard about many types of skin care products, but do you know what your skin really needs?

Dry skin, unaesthetic cleavage, wrinkles- these are the nightmares of any woman who knows that a beautiful skin denotes health. A sexy outfit loses its charm on a dry skin, exposed excessively to dust, pollution and ultraviolet rays. Hydration is a must. If you don't drink enough water, having a poor diet and insufficient sleep, the skin loses its elasticity, and firmness, developing wrinkles.

During the winter, it is rather difficult to protect ourselves from the cold weather. The skin requires a special care; we must use soaps or lotions with acid or neutral PH to be hydrated. The cream must necessarily be hydrating, preferably with fruit acids. Also, even if it's cold, don't forget about SPF creams.

Cleaning the skin is the first essential step when it comes about daily skin care. Cleaning the face two or three times per day is recommended for normal skin. If your skin is greasy, then clean it 4-5 times per day. If you have dry skin it is better to avoid washing your skin too often; also, you will need to use a special lotion for dry skin.

There are several alternatives to face soaps, which are milder with your skin. You may choose between creams, body lotions, tonic lotions, gels and liquids. They are all made from a mixture of oils, wax and water, conceived especially to match certain types of skin. A swab of cotton soaked in milk has great effects.

I'm sure you heard about face masks. Well, almost all have a cleaning effect. Face masks contain different ingredients depending on your needs. Clay is one of the most popular ingredients, because it helps you to remove the excess of sebum and dead skin.

When we are 20 years old and the skin is young, the collagen fibers provide elasticity and flexibility to our skin. As the years pass, we should care more about our body, in order to have a fresh skin; therefore, it's good to know which the main factors responsible for aging are.

Unprotected exposure to sun and tobacco will harm your skin irreversibly. It's recommended to use skin care products that contain antioxidant substances: vitamins A, C, E, or extract of green/ white tea.

At the age of 30, a woman's skin reaches the maximum beauty. Skin care at this age consists in maintaining the beauty. The dermatologists warn that the first signs of skin aging are not the wrinkles or the loss of elasticity, but a change in skin color, which becomes opaque. It is mandatory that, once a week, to exfoliate the dead cells accumulated on the skin surface.

Eight hours of rest per night make miracles for your skin, which will look more fresh and bright. All the ladies know that one of the most simple and important things they can do to maintain their health is to sleep well at night. A nap of at least eight hours is needed to rebuild and maintain your body youth, to manage stress properly and to balance your weight.
