How to Have a Healthy and Young Skin

 

The objective of this page is to present health information in a manner that  is fascinating for an average reader who seeks information about health related issues. Today i am writing on tips for a healthy and young looking blemish skin that is capable of tickling a fancy.

Steps Include:

1. Protect yourself from scorching UV rays from the sun, this can be achieved by avoiding the sun during high intensity hours, wearing of protective clothing, and  by the use of sun screens.

2. Avoid smoking, research has shown that skin wrinkles and shrink and gradually degrades with age and smoking has been found to accelerate the process.

3.  Clean your skin thoroughly by using warm water and mild soap, do not excessively bath with hot water to prevent strip of oil on your skin. Apply moisturizers regularly to prevent drying up of skin. If your face is naturally dry avoid alcohol based products while  if your face is naturally oily avoid oil based products like petroleum jelly.


4.  Sleep is essential for healthy skin. Not enough quality sleep will make your skin look tired and older, especially with bags under your eyes. Poor quality sleep can become a vicious cycle because lack of sleep makes you irritable, anxious and depressed, and that makes it harder to get good sleep.
Make sure you have plenty of physical exercise as this reduces stress and creates a healthy tiredness that helps sleep. Yoga and swimming are also good ways to improve sleep.
Aerobic exercise increases the oxygen circulating in your body which helps the skin stay vibrant and healthy.

Here are some more tips for getting a good night's sleep

• Try to keep to a regular routine at bedtime.
• Have a warm bath to relax you.
• Learn how to put aside the "worry list" that is in your head: write it down, keep a pencil and pad of paper by your bed.
• Get a relaxation tape: don't watch TV late at night or in bed as this can stimulate rather than relax you.
• Avoid eating a heavy meal late at night. Try to eat your last food for the day 2 to 3 hours before bedtime.
• Drink plenty of water during the day rather than toward bedtime.
• If you wake in the night get up and do something distracting until you are sleepy again rather than toss and turn and worry in bed.
• Keep your bedroom cool, dark and quiet. It should be a haven of peace and not a den of noise and stimulation.
• Keep an eye mask and ear plugs handy.
• Avoid stimulants like caffeine and nicotine in the evenings: drink camomile tea rather than cocoa to induce sleep at bedtime (but not too much or you will be up in the night for the toilet).

 5.  People shave to make their skin smooth and hairless, but this can irritate the skin, especially if it is thin, dry and sensitive.
For a smooth shave the Mayo Clinic experts advise that you shave after a warm bath or shower (or press a warm wet cloth on your skin) to soften the hair, don't shave dry skin, use a clean, sharp razor, and shave in the direction of hair growth.
Make sure you rinse well afterwards with warm water to remove soap and dead cells.
If your skin is irritated after shaving don't use an alcohol based lotion even if it feels cool, it will make the irritation worse because it dries the skin out.
