Skin Care Tips
Your skin is the largest organ of your body and
it's the first thing people notice about you.
Whatever the sins you've committed against it in the
past, it's never too late to start taking care of it
and repair some damage.
You don't need to run out and buy every skin care
and beauty product on the shelves -- you can keep it
glowing, radiant and young-looking with healthy,
natural and basic skin care you can do at home.
These tips are simple and practical.
Basic Skin Care
- Avoid laying on your face. Try getting used to
sleeping on your back.
- Drink eight glasses of water every day to
hydrate your skin.
- Use an alcohol-free toner to clean out pores.
- Don't tug and pull the skin around your eyes.
Be Gentle.
- Don't take steaming hot baths or showers
because it has an immediate drying affect. Keep it
short.
- After bathing, pat dry your skin and apply a
body lotion to seal in the moisture.
- Save heavier moisturizers for nighttime. Use
light ones under make-up.
- If your skin is sensitive, it's best to look
for products & cosmetics that prevent irritation.
- Use a humidifier in the Winter and
dehumidifier in the Summer.
- Exercise will increase your circulation and
give your skin a healthy glow.
- Never pick a mole. If one looks suspicious or
is bothersome, your dermatologist can remove it
with a very simple procedure and run a biopsy.
- For bags underneath your eyes, throw a couple
of spoons in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
Relax and apply to your eyes to reduce swelling.

neck.
- Rinse your face in cool water to close your
pores. This will help reduce their size.
- After showering, apply lotion to your elbows,
knees and feet.
- A simple home remedy for blemishes is
antibacterial soap.
- Lemon juice doubles as a facial mask and
pore-reducer.
- Beauty rest is no myth. Your skin will be
rejuvenated with a good night's sleep.
