From Dry To Soft, Smooth And Young Skin
Every day, our skin is exposed to lots of situations that can make it dry and unhealthy – and that also make it look older. The free radicals in polluted air, cigarette smoke, high and low temperatures, UV rays and even your diet can dry out the skin and cause it to lose its youthful glow. This is neither healthy nor particularly appealing. You want to keep looking healthy and fresh. Fortunately, the beauty and health industry today has given us many opportunities to care for and moisturize our skin so that you get a soft, smooth and young skin.
If you are one of those who suffer from dry skin, you know that your skin needs constant care and protection. Here in the article, we show you some steps you can take to protect and regenerate your skin so that it always looks fresh and smooth.
Tips for smooth and young skin
- If you are happy to start or end your day with a hot bath, then you should keep in mind that while it is a great way to relax, it can actually have a negative effect on the health of your skin. Long periods under hot water remove the skin’s natural oils. Cold water is best for your skin, but a shower or tub of lukewarm water can also help preserve the skin.
- When it’s time for a shower, treat your skin well and choose your bath products carefully. Choose products that are made for dry or sensitive skin and use them with a gentle hand or with a sponge made for the purpose. Use only antiperspirant and deodorant in the areas for which they are designed; if you use them elsewhere on your body, it can totally dry out your skin. One of the most important bathing habits is that after your bath you dry yourself by gently dabbing the skin instead of scrubbing it hard.
- Remember to moisturize your skin after each bath. We recommend products that contain lanolin, mineral oils, petroleum jelly or hyaluronic acid – all of which are known to help treat dry skin . The best method is to moisturize with essential oils or a moisturizing cream.
- We recommend that you make exfoliation of the skin a regular part of your weekly routine. Avoid products that contain chemicals, as these chemicals can dry out the skin. You can also make your own homemade scrub. The best kind is the one that contains natural moisturizing ingredients, protects the skin and removes dead skin cells.
- Your diet should include a healthy combination of foods, including foods rich in antioxidants that fight the effects of free radicals. Always include fruits and vegetables and healthy fats like Omega-3 in your daily diet.
- You should drink at least two liters of water a day. This helps keep the body naturally hydrated and gives your skin a healthy glow.
