Tips for Beautiful Skin

How To Get Beautiful Skin

Dear Janice,

What suggestions do you have for me to keep my skin looking beautiful?

To keep your skin looking beautiful year round, avoid these enemies of the skin:

Smoking:
Among other things, it creates wrinkles and creases around the mouth and eyes, constricts blood vessels, restricts oxygen uptake and gives a gray color to your complexion.

Pollution:
To decrease your exposure, try working out in the morning or exercising at a gym.

Dry air:
Drink water and hydrate skin with a water spray.

Rapid weight loss/gain:
Dulls the elasticity of the skin, resulting in stretch marks and sagging.

Excessive pulling and stretching of the skin:
Scrubbing and makeup application contributes to the sagging of the skin. Apply facial products with a gentle touch.

Abusive exfoliation or overzealous cleansing:
If you overdo the cleaning, you might do more harm (like irritation) than good.

Alcohol:
Dehydrates the body and weakens the liver.

Drugs:
Check on potential side effects, like dryness, blotchiness or acne.

Constipation:
This is a result when your body must expel built-up toxins.
