Natural Products for Your Skin and Hair
Your skin is the largest organ of your body. It is essential for wellness that you feed and care for your skin with the same awareness as you do with the food you consume. The ingredients that are used to create your skin care products are absorbed into your physical body and into your blood stream. If you have chemicals in the products you are using for your skin, nails and hair, these chemicals are going into you. Educating yourself is necessary as there are more.and more products with healthy ingredients coming to market all the time. Your skin will look younger if you follow a few basic steps to proper care of your skin:
1. Protect your skin from the sun
The most important way to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, freckles,age spots and rough dry skin. Sun exposure can also cause serious problems, such as skin cancer. For the most complete skin protection:
2. Don't smoke
Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of your skin, which decreases blood flow. This depletes the skin of oxygen and nutrients, such as vitamin A, that are important to skin health. Smoking also damages collagen and elastin, fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity.
3. Treat your skin gently
Daily cleansing and shaving can take a toll on your skin.
4. Eat Right
Eat plenty of organic, locally grown fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. The association between diet and acne isn't clear but research suggests that a diet rich in vitamin C and low in fats and carbohydrates may promote younger looking and healthier skin.
5. Manage stress
Uncontrolled stress can make your skin more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems. Set limits, scale back your To-Do List and make time to do things you enjoy. The results may be more dramatic than you expect.
