Skin care guidelines are almost everywhere. Open any magazine and you'll find lists of 'Do's' for your skin. Obviously, we all care about how our skin looks. It's the very first thing people observe, and it says a lot about our well being - both outer and inner. So it's no wonder we are bombarded with the hottest solutions, therapies and 'all new' revelations.
Now why don't most of us have impeccable skin? If all these tips and breakthrough products worked, you would expect everyone to be walking around glowing. The truth is, skin treatment is really quite uncomplicated and we don't actually need 7 step facial regimens to keep it looking it's best.
If there was a miracle product invented, we would all be using it and have no more need of anymore 'breakthroughs'. Revenue is the main aim of the skin care industry, so to continually come up with more products and different regimes is their lifeline. To make us believe in all their claims helps them more than it helps our skin.
What are some of the tips that actually work for skin? These are simple, straightforward and proven with results. They combine knowledge and common sense, and remember that skin can mainly take care of itself and simply needs a helping hand.
The top cause of most skin concerns is stress. This affects hormones, which in turn affect all the systems of our body. When these various systems aren't performing at their best, our skin can't look it's best. Think of a hang over. The day after a big night greets you with dehydrated, dull skin. This will continue into blemishes and uneven color over the next week if you neglect to reboot your body.
So it goes without mentioning that taking actions to manage stress is really important for overall health and clear skin.
An additional tip we continually see is to put on sunscreen conscientiously each day. Of course, a lot of sun is damaging to the skin's deeper layers, but there are good reasons to expose your skin to a little sun. You can see this after a holiday in the sun, your skin glows as if lit from within.
Exposing your skin to a few minutes of sun a day will increase the health of your skin by stimulating numerous processes and increasing levels of Vitamin D. It also makes you feel a lot better which can be a powerful anecdote to stress.
Most tips come with a product suggestion with ingredients that are impossible to announce, let alone be familiar with. What's worth it when it comes to skin care products? Active ingredients, listed high up on the label. Beneficial ones are Vitamins A C and E, which work to build up the structure of skin.
No need to buy expensive products either. Simple almond oil works wonders as a make up remover, moisturizer or even cleanser. Cheap store bought cleansers and moisturizers are also okay if they are gentle. Aim to keep your skin clean and hydrated and these might be all you need.
So what makes your best skin? Typically it comes down to experimentation. You know your own skin more than anyone, and so just incorporate a couple of these suggestions and see how it reacts. Keep in mind that skin looks after itself really well. The tips actually worth listening to are those with a good dose of practicality that don't require drastic measures.
