10 Steps to Take for Healthy Skin
Beautiful, healthy skin requires daily care. After your daily shower, on vacation, in winter, a few golden rules will make your skin softer, more elastic, and radiant!
Rule 1: I protect my skin from the sun
To keep your skin healthy, do not go out in the sun unprotected. Apply a sunscreen suitable for your skin type. Reapply occasionally. Don't forget to avoid the sun during the hottest hours of the day.
Rule 2: I use only mild soap for my skin
Does your skin get dry after showering? It is important to use mild, low-chemical products for your daily skin cleansing. If you use too harsh products, your skin can become very dry and you may feel very uncomfortable. The best products we can use are oil-rich soaps.
Rule 3: I prefer a lukewarm shower
A lukewarm shower is better for the skin than a hot bath, where the skin tends to become dehydrated. Therefore, make sure the water is lukewarm and not hot. Hammam lovers can sometimes bend this rule. However, do not stay in the water for too long!
Rule 4: I dry my skin gently
Before getting out of the shower, rinse your entire body thoroughly to remove any residue from cleansing products. Then, gently pat your skin dry with a towel. Do not rub your skin vigorously to dry it.
Rule 5: I moisturize my skin every day
Daily moisturizing should be a habit! After gently drying the skin with a towel, apply a suitable cream that effectively moisturizes it. This will restore the hydrolipidic film covering the entire epidermis. Remember that all skin types need moisture!
Rule 6: I dress warmly when it's cold
Have you noticed your skin becoming sensitive, especially in winter? Indeed, cold, wind, and reflected sun dry out the skin, making it uncomfortably tight and painful. As soon as the temperature starts to drop, dress warmly appropriately. Don't forget to protect your hands too!
Rule 7: I drink plenty of water
For beautiful skin, the body needs adequate hydration. Check if you are drinking enough water, meaning aim to consume about 8 glasses a day. A glass of water when you wake up, tea with breakfast, mineral water throughout the day, herbal tea at night... This way, you can easily meet your daily water needs!
Rule 8: I eat healthy, balanced meals!
A healthy, balanced diet is good not only for the body but also for the skin. Eat fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants every day. This will help keep your skin beautiful and healthy.
Rule 9: I get enough sleep
If you get enough sleep, your skin will look radiant and healthy! Your body needs a certain amount of sleep to stay healthy: 7, 8, 9 hours... In fact, sleep requirements are determined by genes, so it's best to try to sleep at least 7 hours a day.
Rule 10: I quit smoking!
Do you smoke? Smoking is very harmful to the skin. It makes your skin look dull and age prematurely. This is a very good reason to put out your last cigarette, isn't it?
