How to take care of your skin
Skin is the biggest organ. It is also the most exposed and sometimes neglected organ we have. We need to take good care of this special organ. In this article we will review some interesting facts any skin owner should know.
First thing’s first: there are no bad skin types. Both dry and oily skin types have their positive and negative aspects. If you have dry skin, you will have a less shiny face and probably less blemishes. On the other hand if you have oily skin, you will see wrinkles later than someone with dry skin. That’s because the moisture gets locked under the layer of oil on the skin’s surface. However both skin types need to be taken care of. We will explore the skin care basics below.
Moisture is life
People that have oily skin should moisturize with humectants. Oily skin owners should use creams that contain as little natural oil as possible. People that have dry skin should also use moisturizers that have the appropriate pH levels for their skin type, often the moroccan oil products have the right Ph levels.
Hygiene is very important
3 hundred years ago dirty flesh was the norm. Fortunately we’re living in the present times, but why is hygiene so important? Dirty skin favours the development of pathogenic organisms. The foul smell from the surface of the skin is caused by bacteria that breed in the sweat. The skin can also become sensitive and get easily damaged. Risk of skin infections increases dramatically when the skin is dirty.
Go out and play in the sun, but not too much
Sunshine can be dangerous for your skin and hair. Don’t fall for the “safe tan” myth, because there’s no such thing. Every tanning session can damage your skin. Photo damage a.k.a sunburns can cause skin cancer and this is what makes them so dangerous. Hair is also at risk, excessive amounts of sun cause the hair to dry up which produces a sun bleaching effect. This doesn’t mean you have to go out in a space suit either. Your skin processes the sun to produce a very important vitamin. Moderate exposure to sunlight is pretty healthy.
Hopefully this article has provided you with some good advice. So next time you will remember to moisturize your skin, keep it clean and not over expose it.
