1. Avoid Long Steamy Showers
Instead, opt for shorter,
cooler sprays. Long, hot showers strip the skin of its moisture and wash
away its protective oils. So limit your showers to 10 minutes and keep
the water cool.
2. Apply Aloe Vera Gel Daily
Smooth some aloe vera gel
over extra dry skin everyday. The acids in aloe eat away at dead skin
cells and speed up the healing process. Buy a pre-prepared product or
cut the end off of an aloe leaf, split it open and spread the gel on the
dry area.
3. Cook With Garlic Every Day
A 1996 Danish study found
that skin cells grown in a culture dish and treated with garlic had
seven times the lifespan of cells grown in standard culture. They also
tended to look healthier and more youthful than untreated cells. Plus,
garlic extract dramatically inhibited the growth of cancerous skin
cells.
4. Drink Plenty of Orange Juice
Orange juice is rich in
vitamin C, essential for the manufacture of collagen, which helps to
keep the skin smooth and youthful. Other foods rich in vitamin C include
guava, kiwi fruit and red peppers.
5.
Exfoliate Every Day
Use a loofah every day to
keep ingrown hairs and scaly skin under control. While you’re in the
shower, gently scrub bumpy or scaly skin with a circular motion to
remove dead skin cells.
6.
Take Multivitamins Daily
Many nutrients are vital to
healthy skin, including vitamins C, A and B. The most reliable way to
get them all is to eat healthily, as well as taking a daily supplement.
7.
Keep Your Hands off Your Face
Because your hands touch so
many surfaces, they are a magnet for dirt and germs. Rub your eyes,
stroke your chin, cup your cheek, and you’ve transferred everything on
your hands to your face. As an extension of this, use headphones or a
headset when talking on the phone.
8.
Change Your Moisturizer Every Season
Every time the seasons
change, replace your moisturizer. Your skin needs more moisture than in
summer. So when it’s time to wear a heavy coat, it’s time to buy a
heavier moisturizer. When you swap your coats for t-shirts, switch to a
lighter one.
9.
Get Rid of Excess Oil
De-shine your face by
periodically dabbing on loose powder to blot excess oil. Don’t use
pressed powder, which actually contains oil as an ingredient.
10.
Choose Cosmetics Carefully
Keep your beauty products
simple, particularly if you have sensitive skin. Stay away from anything
with colour or fragrance, or anything that produces bubbles or has
'antibacterial’ on the label.
