Skin Care Basics for Natural Beauty
We naturally beautiful women love our skin to be soft and supple. We can do this simply if we follow a few basic rules every day. I repeat – every day! We wear our skin every day, and if we neglect it, it will start to look old and dry and not be a sign of our natural health and beauty.
Just like your bodies need to eat good food and drink plenty of water every day, so does your skin. It doesn’t surprise me that there are some many thousands of skin care products on the market these days. But we can take care of skin (right now I’m talking about the skin on your face!) in a frugal, sensible and healthy way using common sense and some inexpensive products.
Here are some easy rules to follow:
1. Clean your skin every day. The most important part of skin care is to keep it clean. Cleansing is most important at night — yes, just when you may feel the most exhausted — but it’s a must to remove old makeup and the grime of the day. Dry and sensitive skin need cleansing just once or twice a day, but even oily and acne prone skin will benefit from gentle skin care — Too much washing, especially with harsh products, can be irritating and damage the skin.
2. Always wear sunscreen when outdoors, winter and summer. The sun’s rays can burn you even if you’re not feeling hot. Don’t let your skin be exposed to the sun for more than 15 minutes. Don’t forget to use sunscreen on your face and the back of your hands because these are constantly exposed to the sun’s rays.
