Let’s face the truth; the recession has taken over everything. Some of us don’t have the luxury or the time to go for a special skin treatment. Therefore, what we need are the basic ways we can care for our skin to enable it to look radiant and also glow without spending so much.
Here are the easy ways to care for your skin without breaking the bank.
1. Protect yourself from the sun.
One of the things that damage one's skin is the sun. Therefore a little spending on a sunscreen is a wise buy. Also if you can, avoid the sun between 10 am to 2 pm because during that time frame the sun rays are really strong and can cause skin wrinkles, age spots and can increase the risk of skin cancer.
2. Have a healthy diet
We all have heard of how important what we consume is to our body system. Therefore, eat the right kind of food, feed on healthy food. Eat more fruits and vegetables and cut down on junks and fats.
3. Look for an effective way to manage stress
It is absolutely normal to go through stressful situations at one time or the other in our lives. All you have to do is to look for an effective way to manage it to prevent it from affecting you. If you need to take a break from the situation, please do, if you need to sleep please also do so. The bottom line is to look for ways to manage stress.
4. Treat your skin well
Treat your skin well by making use of mild soap and not strong soap which ends up removing the oil from your skin, use a moisturiser that fits your skin type. Also, after bathing, gently pat your skin dry with a towel so that some moisture remains on your skin.
5. Avoid smoking
Smoking does more harm to your skin by damaging collagen and elastin; the fibres are responsible for your skin strength and elasticity. Smoking makes you look older by giving room for wrinkles which causes early ageing.
