5 Steps to Healthier Skin

1. Keep your hands and hair out of your face: Break the habit of touching your face with your hands or resting your face on the palms. Your hands are full of bacteria, and your hair is oily.
2. Wash your face: in the morning because your face produces oil when you sleep and especially wash your face at night. Choose a cleanser that best fits your skin type i.e. dry, oily. For better results at night, use a toner dabbed in a cotton ball on your face and neck after cleaning your face. You'll be surprised to find left over make up and excess dirt. Lastly, apply lotion to moisturize your face and neck throughout the day and night. Again, choose a moisturizer that fits your skin type.
3. Always use sunblock: Some moisturizers have spf written on it. Usually it is SPF15. For the best protection, you want at least spf 30. You will thank yourself for protecting your skin from sun damage in the long term i.e. skin cancer and blotching of the skin.
4. Hydrate your skin with H2O: You need water daily anyways. Make it a habit.
5. Don't pop them pimples: Be patient and let it dry out. By popping it, you are allowing bacteria to enter into your skin and thus, scarring it.
5 Reasons to Keep Your Skin Healthy
1. You look younger: You'll see the difference of the before and after picture. Your skin color is evenly toned, more radiant, and softer.
2. For girls, reduce the need of make up: Better skin means a better canvas for applying make up. You'll be suprised to see how little powder (mineral preferrably) you are using. Sometimes you won't even need to apply on make up if you're just going out to the grocery or doing an errand.
3. Prevent acnes, cancer, and a bad picture day.
4. Creating a healthy habit: Keeping your largest organ of the body healthy is a step to a habit of being healthy inside and out.
5. Feel good in the skin you're in.
