Your skin is the largest organ in your body, protects inner tissues and organs from the outside environment. It’s important to take good care of your skin so it will continue to protect your insides and stay healthy as you age. Aside from time, the most damaging factor to your skin is the sun. Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by wearing sunscreen and protective clothing (long-sleeved shirts, etc.).
Other causes of skin damage and premature aging include smoke and junk food. Not only do the chemicals in smoke dry and damage your skin, but wrinkles will form on your face from pursing your lips around cigarettes and squinting to keep smoke out of your eyes. Dieting affects the skin because losing and gaining weight causes the skin to stretch and lose elasticity, making it more vulnerable to wrinkling and sagging under the force of gravity.
Moisturizing is important for healthy skin, but be sure to choose a moisturizer that won’t cause irritation. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and use moisture masks. Wash your face with look-warm water and use a facecloth and mild soap to wash off dead skin cells. Choose a soap that’s suited for your skin type (oily, normal, or dry). People with oily skin may need to wash their faces two or three times a day.
Don’t wash your body with harsh soaps that will dry and irritate the skin. Pat yourself dry with a towel, rather than rubbing, and apply moisturizer immediately.
For men when shaving, soften your beard area with a warm washcloth and then cover the area with shaving cream. Use a sharp blade and pass the razor over your skin only once in the direction of hair growth. Shaving in the other direction may cause irritation.
