Proactive Skin Care helps Prevent That Dry Wrinkled Look
The best way to maintain healthy skin is to use proactive skin care, as it is easier to maintain a healthy glow than it is to restore it once it begins to fade away. For a person to have healthy looking skin on their 60th birthday, they must begin taking care of it when they are in their 20s and even in their teens. Proactive skin care involves more than using the right products as the years go by, it includes reducing the needs for those products when their skin is still healthy.
There are two key aspects of proactive skin care that everyone hoping to have good skin has to be aware of and those are diet and exposure to the sun. If a person fails to maintain a health diet, keeping their skin hydrated and clean, it will quickly turn against them as they age. Skin is the largest organ of the human body and requires proper nutrition to remain healthy. The sun's ultraviolet rays dries out the skin, damaging the outer organ and reducing its ability to produce natural collagen and retinol, allowing it to become dried out and wrinkle.
Choice Remains To Look Good Now Or Later
With the habits of many people, they are limiting their choices to looking good while they are young, or looking good when they get older. That does not have to be the case as it is possible to have healthy looking skin at both ends of the aging spectrum. Part of a person's proactive skin care would be to forego those days of unprotected exposure to the sun as well as using the right products to protect against sunburn.
There are many suntan lotions that contain moisturizers as well as ingredients to block the sun's rays, but most younger people want that elusive perfect tan, and slather on the oil once the sun has dried out the skin. Over the years without using the right proactive skin care steps, this dry skin is going to begin to show the years of abuse. Additionally, protecting the skin from the harmful ultraviolet sun will also protect against melanoma.
Many of today's cosmetic products contain oils that can serve to block the pores of the skin causing acne breakouts and acne has the opportunity to cause skin lesions and leave pores more susceptible to bacteria growth. If cosmetics are to be used, practice proactive skin care by using those that contain no oils and only use natural ingredients.
