Doesn’t matter black or white

People always wandered, “What skin type I have? “Or “Is my skin shiny, or too oily?” Skin problems have always been an issue to everyone. Flawless skin takes time patience and a lot of high maintenance and tons of money. But let me tell you some tips which is not only cheap but you will find it all around you.

v    Vitamins and minerals enriched healthy diet:

a.      The foundation of skin, nail and hair is vitamin B which can be found in foods like oatmeal, eggs, rice, bananas and even Vegemite.

b.      Vitamin C and vitamin E plays active role in protecting our skin from the exposure of the sun. Vitamin C can be found in foods such as lemons, limes, oranges, bell peppers, cranberry/grape juice, cauliflower, and leafy greens and vitamin E can be found in foods such as olives, spinach, nuts, seeds and vegetable oils.

c.       Vitamin A is like the mechanic of our skin. It repairs the skin tissue, without it our skin will look dry and flaky. Vitamin A is found in fruits and vegetables.

d.      If you want to get rid of the dark circles and bruises then load up of  leafy green vegetables, dairy products, and meats such as liver, as they contain Vitamin K.

  

v    Travelling out:

Simply eating vitamins and minerals won’t be sufficient to keep your skin safe, you won’t be eating 24/7. When travelling out it’s better to wear sunscreen with a SPF of 30 to 40 and apply it evenly on your skin rather than a chunk of it. It’s better to use a face friendly water resistent sun screen. It’s best not to go out during the afternoon usually 10 am to 4 pm, depending on the temperature of season and geographical location. Even if you go wear a broad visored hat and sunglasses to protect your face.

v    Skin type:

Finding out the type of your skin is absolutely, not all skins can be treated equally. Oily, dry, sensitive, or combination skin. Research your skin type on the internet, from a dermatologist or skin care books. Each of those types requires different types of treatment therefore severals should be avoided accordingly.

a.      Using new cream and wearing scarf gives you rashes, which indicates that you have a sensitive skin.

b.      If your skin is prone to pimples and has a thick and dull apperance with greasy shine, then that means your skin is oily.

c.       If the above symptoms only appearing on your nose, forehead and chin and is fine everywhere else, then you have a combination skin.

d.      Feeling of moisturizing your skin all the time and tightness means you have a dry skin and you must moisturize it frequently.

It’s not neccessary to use toner and make sure you avoid harsh chemicals, and chemicals that aren't good for your skin type. It’s highly recommended to clean your face 2-3 times everyday. Use good cleanser and put on sufficient amount of moisturizer.

v    Pamper your skin:

Your skin is delicate and sensitive so apply face mask or steam your face once a week. But apply those products which are suitable for your particular skin or the consequence will be disastrous. Tea- tree oil is good for skin, you can directly apply it or steam your face with it. Yogurt is is really gentle and has cleansing abilties and is essential for dry, oily and sensitive skin. Drastic treatments for skin like retinol cream, which is a derivative of vitamin A, and glycolic peels, can be hazardous if frequently used as it takes off a layer of your skin. Don’t forget to wash and moisturize after steaming, exfoliating or applying a face mask and follow the directions specified on the products for optimum results.

v    Scrape twice a week:

Exfoliating dead skin of your face is recommended if you want a fresh and glowing look. Dead skin traps oil and bacterias that cause acne. Exfoliate gently with a scrub or feel, frequent exfoliating is absolutely unneccessary as it will make it worse.

v    Dealing with Stretch marks: Althogh stretch marks cannot be removed with natural and inexpensive methods it can only be minimized by keeping the skin moist by applying lotion. Another way to hide the stretch mark is by tanning and also by applying vitamin E.

v    Smokings harms:

For all those smokers, here is another reason to stop smoking. Another way to distinguish smokers from non smokers by the lines above the mouth that tend to form from constant lip pursing. Smoking is the second biggest cause of skin damage after sun exposure. Nicotine bolcks the blood vesels and decreases the flow of oxygen to skin.

v    Exercise:

Here’s a hard work for those lazy people, if you want something good you must work hard for it. Cardio exercise is really good for skin as it flushes out bacterias from inside the body and clears out the blood vessels to increase the flow of oxygen. It also relieves stress which directly impacts on the skin and can be clearly visible.

v    Sleep:

Here is something many of us are good at doing. Make sure you take eight hours sleep everyday, depending on age. Teenagers should get more than eight hours a day for healthy growth. Being properly rested means more energy to go about it’s daily routine.
