9 Steps whose To Cleaner And Healthier Skin

According to Bestskinpeel, follow this list of nine items for clearer, healthier, more manageable skin: 1) Reduce stress levels through prayer and meditation. Stress creates hormones that actually age us because they destroy cells and create toxic byproducts and free radicals. Studies have shown that prayer and meditation can reduce our stress levels. Prayer and meditation have even been shown to alleviate some symptoms of cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. 2) Drink lots of water. It is a fact that 90% of us do not drink enough water. In order for your skin cells to function properly and heal properly from cuts etc. we need to drink 8-12 glasses of water every day. Our skin is one of our most important organs because it protects us from diseases, cushions our falls, etc... It needs a lot of water. 3) Treat yourself to a good night's sleep. Lack of proper 8-10 hours of sleep a day will first affect your skin. Broken capillaries, swelling, circles under the eyes. 4) Eat well. Get proper nutrition. Too much junk food can cause or worsen skin problems like pimples and acne. A well-balanced meal 3 times a day has been shown to help reduce the fluctuations of skin problems and help moderate the occurrence of acne vulgar. 5) Take vitamins to replenish your skin and body. We can't always make sure we get 100% of all the vitamins and minerals in the food we eat, but we can take a multivitamin once a day. They are cheap at Walmart and there is no excuse. People who take multivitamins once a day live longer. It's a proven fact, just like people who smoke take years off their lives. 6) Cleanse your skin properly. Harsh soaps can dry out your skin and even stimulate more sebum (oil) production, which can make acne worse. Use a gentle cleanser with 2% salicylic acid. This has proven to be very effective in removing excess oil while maintaining proper hydration and pH. The mild acidity will keep bacteria at bay. 7) Do not smoke. Smoking gives you years. Literally, smoking can add 10 years to the old appearance of your skin. Why would you want to do this? If you must have nicotine, get nicotine gum or patches - they will cure your cravings and there is no evidence or statistics of anyone developing cancer, lung disease, etc. 8) Use sunscreen. The skin has melatonin to protect it from the sun's rays, but it is no match for the UV rays etc. we are exposed to. Melanoma has several forms, and all are fatal. If you don't think you'll get skin cancer or think you're invulnerable, go to your local dermatologist and ask to see photos of clients with skin cancer, better yet go to the cancer center at your local hospital. You will never think like this again. Use sunscreen. 9) Treat yourself to a spa treatment at least once a year. Facial peels, TCA peels, deep tissue massage, complete relaxation, aromatherapy, etc... all will energize and heal your skin. A TCA peel will actually improve your skin's ability to regenerate and improve collagen levels. Remember to follow these nine steps to enjoy healthier skin.
