REMEMBER -
USE SUN
BLOCK!
It is
important to mention sun block.
All types of skin need to be treated. There is a tendency for
people with darker skin to mistakenly believe that they are
protected from the harmful rays of the sun. While it might be
true that they get less skin cancer, there is still a
significant percentage that do. With more sun damage and
exposure, the risk multiplies. Of course, their increased
pigmentation does not offer any protection for the accelerated
aging effect the sun has on their skin.
To make the point, check out the two
pictures below:
 
The left picture is a 58 year old
American Indian female who spent practically all of her time
outdoors. The right picture is a 72 year old Tibetian monk
who spent practically all of his time indoors away from the sun.
I believe the pictures say it all!
Sun block is an essential part of
an effective skin care products regimen.
Don't forget about your lips. Wearing sunglasses also protects
your eyes. Both areas should not be forgotten.

Don’t Apply Bacteria to Your Face!
Did you know that bacteria are already present in
makeup even before you buy it? And, according to the
Food and Drug Administration, each time you use a
product’s applicator or makeup brush with unclean hands,
you are adding more bacteria to both the product and
your face! Even if you’re rigorous about cleansing your
hands and your makeup utensils before use, cosmetics
that have been sitting around for a while still lose
their ability over time to kill bacteria (Cohen 2002).
To protect your skin from bacteria, experts recommend
that you keep track of how long you’ve been using a
product. “The risk of infection can be reduced if you
change [products] every three to four months,”
recommends Dr. Ashinoff, chief of dermatologic and laser
surgery at New York University. How do you know it’s
time to toss out a product? Any noticeable change in
texture, color, or smell is a clear indication that it’s
time to replace the cosmetic. (Cohen 2002).
And while you are updating your products, why not
upgrade them? With scientific breakthroughs
occurring regularly, be sure that the product you are
using to moisturize your face contains superb hydrating
agents and the latest cutting-edge antioxidants that
protect against cell destructors (including sun
exposure. |

DON'T FORGET ABOUT NUTRITION
Keeping the skin in proper working order requires a balanced
diet rich in vitamins like C, A, and E as well as those in the B-complex group.
Each of these vitamins helps maintain skin function in a different way:
Vitamin C helps the body create collagen.
Vitamin A is required by skin cells for maintenance and repair.
Vitamin E improves circulation, aids in repairing tissue and
reduces scarring in some wounds.
Vitamin B3 is particularly helpful in the formation of healthy
new skin cells.
Niacin improves blood flow to the skin's surface.
The antioxidant vitamins (C, A and E) may also assist in
scavenging mutant cells known as free radicals. (Free radicals are created
either as a by-product of the immune system's battle against infection or by
environmental toxins.) Minerals like chromium and zinc are also necessary.
Chromium aids in reducing infections to the skin, while zinc helps heal tissue
and prevent scarring.
don't forget the importance
of stress management
It's true — our emotions show on our faces. (And not just in the
form of furrowed brows and frown lines.) When we are under stress, our bodies
react with varying hormonal fluctuations, release of toxins, constriction of
blood vessels and depletion of hydration. Stress lowers our resistance to
infection and interrupts normal sleep patterns. Guess what? These
reactions directly affect the skin's ability to perform at an optimal level.
get your beauty sleep
Proper rest and relaxation help your skin - as well as the rest
of your body — to operate at peak performance. How much rest is enough?
Individuals vary. Some find that eight hours a night is not enough.
Others thrive on five hours or less. It's important to find the amount of
sleep that is best for you and make time for it. Not only will you feel
better... you'll look better, too!
exercise is also great for
your skin
Taking step-aerobics classes does more than just tone your
quadriceps. When you exercise, you increase your oxygen intake, improve
your circulation, lower your blood pressure, promote more restful sleep, induce
perspiration (and the excretion of toxins) as well as release endorphins — a
group of naturally-occurring proteins that help lift spirits as well as zap
pain. It has been shown that people who exercise live longer and more
often describe their lives as happier and less stressful than those who are
sedentary.
