Protecting your Skin Through All Weather Conditions

Our skin is our most precious and sensitive endowment, whether hot or cold weather, we need to take active steps to guard it against the harshness of the environment. The more we go out, the more we are exposed to UV rays, dust, wind, and other environmental actors which amplify the degeneration of the skin and its perpetual aging. The world can be the reason for our hyper-pigmented, wrinkly skin which is also prone to skin cancer if left bare in the sun. So, even if you don’t have an elaborate skin routine, you can follow certain basic directives that will elongate the aging process and keep your skin sound and supple!

Save it from the sun:

Inevitable exposure to the sun over the years can cause wrinkles, freckles, spots and increase the probability of skin cancer. Every time you step out of the house, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 15, reapplying it every two hours. You must apply sunscreen more frequently if you’re sunbathing or swimming.

Hydration is your friend:

For your body and your skin- water is extremely important. Have a cup of green tea or juice in the morning and stay hydrated throughout the day. Moist skin will keep you protected and keeps its pliability and is less prone to chapping, scaliness, and flakiness. A suitable moisturizer that goes with your skin type is extremely important too. You could choose the ones with hyaluronic acid, ceramide, or coconut oil, etc. for the best results. If you have extra dry skin, a humidifier will help you in keeping it hydrated.

Be squeaky clean with skin-care products:

Keeping the skin away from germs will prevent rashes and diseases of the skin. Take a look at what’s touching your skin and keep it clean. Don’t share razors, toothbrushes, and lip balms. Try not to touch your face with your hands and don’t itch pimples and splinters. Also, as soon as a skin condition arises, see a dermatologist.

Treat your skin with care:

There are a couple of things that forego common knowledge but are extremely harmful to our skin. Bathing takes away the inherent oils in our skin so hot showers or long baths can strip the skin of these oils. Also, don’t use strong soaps and other products with a lot of chemicals in the list of ingredients. Use mild products. Make sure you lubricate your skin before shaving with the help of cream and lotions. Don’t roughly dry your skin after washing it. Gently pat it dry and use paper towels for your face.

Eat Right:

A well-rounded nutritional diet will give your skin all the resources it needs. Add fruits, veggies, proteins to your diet which will aid the health of your body as well as skin. You should also try Simply Potent’s Liposomal Vitamin C Supplement which promotes collagen synthesis which improves skin health. 

Other than the above mentioned steps, smoking and stress are also deleterious for our skin. So, be aware of the preventions and cures that will help your skin stay young and healthy!
