My Skincare Routine - Aug 2011

Remember, all your healthy skin care starts on the inside. If you want to keep your skin properly moisturized you need to keep your body properly hydrated. Drink about eight glasses of water every day. 5. Find, and use, a good lotion, 'good' being the operative word. Like I mentioned above many of the products you buy at the store contain harmful chemicals. 

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. 

Even the simplest things, that other people wouldn't have a problem with, can cause your skin to erupt into rashy, itchy, and dry skin. There are sensitive skin care products types that you can get to help tame your overly sensitive skin. When you have sensitive skin it means that you have finely pored skin that can become inflamed fairly easily when it comes into contact with many common things. 

Read packaging diligently and pay close attention to the active ingredients. Then check out the generic products most likely located on the same shelf. You will probably notice that the active ingredients are identical and come in the same strength as the name brand product you first looked at. This is one good way to save a few bucks. 

If you want healthy skin make sure you give your body all the nutrients it needs to stay healthy. You also need to keep your body hydrated. Providing your body with at least eight glasses of water a day will help keep your body hydrated and your skin moisturized. Now that you've taken care of the inside of your body, it's time to think about what products you need to apply to the outside of your body. 

You might think that if a little bit of exercise is good, a lot of exercise must be better. This isn't always true. You can over exercise. And if you need to lose some weight, throwing yourself into extreme exercise right away isn't going to do you any good. You could end up with an injury that can prevent you from exercising for a long time.
