2014 Skincare & Haircare Favourites | Hello October

Sun is the number one factor in sun damage and premature aging of your skin. This is true no matter what color you are. You should never go outside in the sun without wearing sunscreen. If you are going to be out in the sun for an extended period of time you should also wear a hat and other protective clothing. 

Most experts recommend you drink around 8 glasses of water every day to maintain proper hydration. It's also a good idea to avoid consuming too much caffeine or alcohol. Now that you understand the importance of keeping your body healthy from the inside out, we'll explore some things to look for, in treatment products, that go directly on your skin. 

Many people would rather start with some more modest skin care regimes such as lotions and creams. This article will help you find the right skin care regimen for you and show you the best way to take care of your skin for a lifetime of beauty. One thing you cannot overlook is your diet. This may sound like an odd thing to talk about in an article about skin care but the reality is that good skin starts on the inside. 

We all know that if we allow stress to build up for too long we eventually explode. Regular exercise will help you get it out of your system. If we control those explosions by focusing that energy into something constructive, such as a boxing class, or a nice long jog, we can get the stress relief we need without getting ourselves into trouble. 

There are many other products available today to help clear up your acne, but don't overlook some simple lifestyle changes you can make to help prevent your outbreaks in the first place. It's vital that you never forget that the health of your skin actually starts on the inside of your body, not on the outside. 

When you have an outbreak and you are desperate to clear it up as soon as possible, you may be tempted to wash your face many times a day. Don't. Over washing your face can just make your skin raw, and painful. The best way to keep your skin clean is to use a gentle, non abrasive cleaner on your face twice a day.
