How to Keep Your Skin Good for Years - A Comprehensive Guide

 

Pores, blemishes, and redness are all part of getting older. When our skin starts to lose moisture and its natural oils, it gets dry and flaky. These changes also cause our skin to age slower than we used to. But what if you could prevent these changes in the first place? The good news is that ageing is perfectly reversible. In fact, reversing the signs of ageing can actually be as simple as keeping your skin healthy! Read on for more information on how to keep your skin good for years.

 

What causes skin damage?

One of the main causes of skin damage is exposure to the elements. Dry air and exposure to pollutants cause air-bourne sebum production, which causes the skin’s natural oils to become less hydrated. When the skin’s natural oils become less hydrated, they’re less able to protect the skin from UV rays and other harmful elements. This results in dry, tired, and dull skin. The good news is that most of the time, we can prevent this damage from happening by following a few simple steps. In particular, we can avoid getting too dry and tight by moisturising regularly, drinking plenty of water, and wearing sunscreen when out in the sun.

 

How to reverse dryness

One of the best ways to prevent dryness is to drink more water. This not only hydrates the skin, but it also causes the skin to retain more water and therefore, produce less sebum. When the sebaceous glands (oil glands in the skin) don’t produce enough oil, the skin feels drier. But adding water doesn’t just keep skin hydrated; it also encourages the growth of healthy skin cells. To top it all off, drinking water also helps your skin retain its natural oils.

 

What can help keep skin healthy?

There are many beauty products that promise to keep your skin healthy, young, and beautiful. Unfortunately, many of them don’t do a good job. If you’re not careful, you may end up spending more money in the end buying products that don’t work. Here are a few skin care products that might make a difference in keeping your skin healthy and young: 

- A good moisturiser. Try to find a cream or gel that contains ingredients like shea butter, grapeseed oil, and vitamin E. Look for products that are free of synthetic ingredients like parabens, phthalates, and DEA.

 - Face masks. Yes, masks are good for skin. They contain both natural ingredients like papaya, rosemary, and turmeric, as well as herbal extracts. Look for face masks that are formulated to treat skin conditions like acne, sensitive skin, and wrinkles. 

- Eye Cream. Creams and serums are good for all skin types, but if you’re prone to dark circles, try an eye cream first. Natural ingredients like vitamin E and C, rosehip, and witch hazel are found in eye creams.
