Taking care of your skin

Have you been taking care of your skin?
I began this post with this question, because if you didn’t know, our skin speaks a lot about us and the care we have with it is visible.
Since there are many women who are not used to doing this, or simply don’t like to, we will learn the basics to skin care. Many of you even know how to do so, but are a bit lazy to take care of your skin, right? Lol
A very important tip is to know your skin, many women still don’t know what their skin type is, so it’s difficult to find the right products to use. I advise you to see a dermatologist because he/she will know what’s best and will give you expert advice.
The first step is to cleanse your skin: Clean your skin every day, always using a suitable product. Using only water is not enough.
If you are the type who doesn’t have much patience for skin care, choose products that are practical.
If you have oily and acne prone skin you need to exfoliate once a week.
If you have skin with sunspots, use a depigmentation cream, and an exfoliating scrub to help remove pigmented skin cells; it will help brighten your skin.
***It is very important to remove your make-up everyday before going to bed.
- Drink lots of water, your skin will thank you, because it will keep your skin hydrated.
- Eat fruits and vegetables, they are essential for healthy skin and slows down aging. Who does not want to look younger?
- Stimulate your skin to produce collagen, using creams containing retinol and alpha hydroxyl acids at night.
- Make homemade masks, they are great for the skin.
In fact, the list for skin care is immense, but I wanted to write about the basic daily skin care routines to maintain healthy skin.
Attention:
Factors that contribute to aging and skin fatigue: stress, for example, greatly harms our skin, the sun, unsuitable products, heavy make-up, and an exaggerated diet. Not to mention sadness, anguish, grief,
resentment, this kind of feelings lead the person to a heavy facial expression, so the best and utmost care that you should have is in your interior, and surely your inner well being will be visible through your skin.
Kisses and take care of yourself.

Thank you very much Mrs Carina for these awesome tips, its true that most people know the importance of taking care of their skin (particularly myself), but tend to take it lightly until a problem arises with their skins.
I need to start being practical with regards to this.

Wow these are useful tips. I never knew that drinking water keeps your skin hydrated and looking young. Now i really have a good reason to drink lots of water. But overall i learnt that, the state of my interior highly contributes to to my skin. Because if stress or become anxious or entertain a lot negative thoughts then this will become evident on my exterior and then my skin will be unhealthy.
Thanks for sharing xx
