As we age our skin naturally starts to sag, crease, wrinkle, and dry out. Your skin changes just as your body does, and each year it could be a puzzle wondering what your skin is going to do next. Stop the guess work, and start taking action to help prevent your skin from common ailments, and start getting healthier skin today. Here are some tips to help you bring the youth back to your skin without paying hundreds of dollars on products that may make your skin appear healthy, but who knows if they're actually healthy for you.
Invest in a good skin care regime. Stop trying several products, each varying depending on the day, and find a solid regime. The constant change of products on your skin could be aiding in the damage being done. Instead, find a regime that works well for you and stick with it. This could involve something as simple as just washing your face each day and applying a good moisturizer.
Avoid chemicals. Before you spend $200 on that bottle of lotion that promises to be a miracle cure for your wrinkles, research it. Many miracle products have harsh chemicals and other products mixed into their item, none of which can be very healthy for you. If any product you use states that it can be harmful for whatever reason, it may be a good idea to find out why. It's better to be informed on products you're putting on your skin before it's too late. Look for products made from soy for a great alternative, such as soy candles. Soy candles are a great option to use in place of lotion. Just be sure you purchase a soy candle that doesn't have added chemicals, harsh scents, and is safe to use on skin.
Invest in a good soap. This may sound silly, but soaps are often the biggest offender when it comes to your skin. Some soaps dry your skin out, others may leave behind residue, and some may even cause an allergic reaction. Invest in an organic, or local product. These items clearly list the ingredients in their products, and typically these items are much more beneficial to your skin than many big name items. Goat's milk soap, and sugar scrubs can be found in many local stores, or organic markets, and are great products to use for sensitive skin, dry skin, and everything in between. Check out your local farmers market for handmade soaps made by local residents.
Take a look at your surroundings. Sometimes the environment can cause havoc on your skin, and this can mean even the environment in your own home. Many homes, especially older homes, have poor circulation, or are influenced by the outside weather. If you live in a dry humid climate, it may be a good idea to invest in a humidifier to help regulate your home. Same for those that live in a wet muggy climate, find a way to regulate the climate within your home.
By following these tips, you'll be on your way to healthier, gorgeous skin in no time!
