Skincare #Two

      Hey guys, I'm back with my skin care part two and we are talking about the things that you should participate in to keep your skin healthy. Our bodies are 80 percent water so we have to drink so much water to keep our skin hydrated. To keep our body hydrated you should drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. It is important to limit your intake of alcohol and other drinks containing caffeine as they are diuretics that remove water from the body and block the absorption of vitamins and minerals. Exercise is a skin care essential racing heart rate through vigorous exercise increases blood flow brings more oxygen to the skin and cleanses impurities from the body through sweat. Just 20 to 30 minutes of exercise a day is enough to boost your immune system reduce stress lower blood pressure strengthen your heart build stronger bones increase your energy level and improve your mood. Since the metabolism slows with age exercise is fundamental to weight management. Sleep is the time when the body cells have a chance to repair and regenerate. Sleep deprive can stress all the body systems including skin and can result in headaches, irritability, lack of energy, or inability to focus. The skin becomes less elastic and prone to outbreaks of acne or rashes.

♡tip: smile be positive breathe and take a vacation once in a while.

       Excess sun exposure is skins number one enemy it causes premature aging, including wrinkles, loss of the skins elasticity and hyperpigmentation. Worst over exposure often causes deadly forms of skin cancer where broad spectrum sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (spf) or of at least 15spf in the winter and 30spf in the summer. You have to wear it in the winter as well because the temperature does get colder but the Sun does not go away its deadly raise can still hit your skin and cause all those horrible things.

        Smoking also causes the skin to age prematurely. Nicotine impairs the blood vessels that provide skin with both oxygen and nutrients and rid the skin of impurities. It eventually robs the skin of oxygen, causing it to look dull and gray. With low levels of oxygen, the skin loses elasticity, which leads to sagging and wrinkling.

       Skin problems can be caused by excessive alcohol intake. Alcohol can cause allergic reactions such as hives and rashes. Some people have allergic reactions to salicylates, which occur in such foods as berries, bananas, beans, grapes, and wine. If a rash appears after you eat these foods, it is likely that beer and wine will also cause outbreaks.

     Stressed often shows up on the skin. Stress related hormonal fluctuations can cause adult acne and other skin problems. While healthy eating and exercise habits help to combat the systems of anxiety and stress finding mechanisms to deal with underlying causes of stress is important.

♡Tip: drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water a day will help flush out toxins and keep all skin types clear.
♡Tip: drink one glass of water each time you have a beverage that contains alcohol or caffeine.
