The first step to taking care of your skin
is preventing damage.
Sun, wind, pollutants, and simply aging can degrade the condition
of your skin. Common complaints include dry and itchy skin,
wrinkles, sagging, color changes, and age spots.
There are steps that you can take to keep you skin looking
and feeling its best.
Exercise, rest, and good nutrition lay the foundation for
beautiful, healthy skin, inside and out.

A proper diet is not only good for your overall health, it also
helps to ensure that your skin will receive all of the vitamins,
minerals, and nutrients that it needs to maintain and repair cells.
Drinking purified water is another good way to keep your skin healthy.
Water helps to hydrate the skin and move waste and nutrients through
the system. It is very effective mixing a teaspoon or capful of
Organic Apple Cider Vinegar in with your water. Do not drink Tap
Water.
The most important
way to care for your skin is to protect it from the damaging
rays of the sun. Ultraviolet radiation damages the skin and
can lead to wrinkles, premature aging, age spots, and cancer.
Take extra precautions to make sure your skin is not exposed
to the sun’s rays. Use a natural sunscreen, or a moisturizer
that contains sunscreen (at least SPF 15) everyday.
Your skin does need some sunlight – 10-15 minutes of
direct exposure daily.
Dry skin is very common, especially with age. Older skin
has fewer sweat and oil glands than younger skin.

Dry skin may be caused by frequent baths, certain cosmetics or
medications. But whatever the cause, there are ways to alleviate
the itchiness associated with it. Avoid using harsh soaps when bathing,
and if possible, cut back on the number of baths or showers each
week. A sponge bath with warm water may help to clean and revive
skin without stripping the skin of its valuable moisturizers.
When you do use soap, try using a natural very mild soap that does
not contain any dyes, parabens or perfumes. Follow up the bath with
a moisturizing lotion like Parfait Visage, concentrating on problem
dry areas. A good all natural moisturizer is one of the foundations
for a healthy skin care regimen. Continue moisturizing throughout
the day to keep skin healthy. Your hands and face are particularly
susceptible to daily damage, and may need to be moisturized several
times.
