Three Skin Care No-No’s
Our skin, which is the largest organ on the body, takes a lot of abuse and it does not care. It is the skins job to be the protector of the body and this organ does what it can to keep us as safe as possible. This is something a lot of us take for granted. We go gallivanting in the sun or visit the tanning bed, we pick at our pimples and scabs, and allow bacteria and dirt to stay longer than necessary; and we do not even realize it either. Facial cleansers, sun block and even the occasional exfoliate are things that we need to keep in our grasp and should be part of our daily skin care routine. Even if you are using a product, you should still follow these four rules for helping keep your skin in tiptop conditions.
1.) Not cleansing your face: Wash your face with a facial cleanser twice daily. The reason behind this is that, throughout the day, your face is polluted with makeup and environmental elements that can put you in danger for a breakout of pimples. So washing your face in the morning is good, giving you a fresh start to the day, but washing your face at night is essential. Also using the right cleanser is important. Find one that will not react adversely to your skin and does not have a scrub quality to it (scrubs should only be used occasionally). Some of the best facial cleansers are of the organic kind. These types of facial cleansers contain organic natural ingredients (like Tangerine Oil and Olive Leaf Extract) that do not react adversely to skin and are gentle to our skin. All natural, not causing any adverse effects and knowing that you are safe; sounds good to me.
2.) Do not pick at your blemishes and scars: This is huge when it comes to treating your skin right. The reason for this is that you are tearing at your already inflamed skin tissue, giving it even more work to do. Pimples are dirt, grime, and bacteria that get stuck in your pores causing a pimple to form. If you break it up, yes, you are releasing the stuff stuck inside but you are also doing two things that can cause more problems: first, you are allowing that dirt and bacteria to be spread to another area creating more pimples, and you are doing what I said above tearing the skin tissue possibly causing scars. So just, follow the above step and keep washing your face with the a great facial cleansers with those gentle organic ingredients, the pimple will eventually go away.
3.) Do not go to the Tanning Bed: Just please do not do this. Tanning beds are pretty much the equivalent of baking your skin. We are fully allowing the UV rays that we have been trying to stay away from (due to UV rays causing premature aging and skin cancer) about inches away from your face and body. It just makes no sense to me. If you would like to get color on your skin, go for the spray tan route or the self-tanning lotion route instead.
Take this as a warning, the more you make the skin’s job as a protector harder to accomplish, the faster your skin starts breaking down. This means wrinkles, lines, saggy skin, and the most immediate affect acne and acne scars. Facial cleansers with organic ingredients do a good job of helping with these, but if you were to have been aware earlier, you would not have needed them. Since a lot of us have not realized the effects of our actions, different damages to the skin is probably a definite reality, but there is always time to reverse these damages. Just remember that following these three very important rules and using the right product, you will make your skin happy. This in turn will make the skin work harder and look better.
