Let me explain what healthy skin in simple words. Healthy skin is smooth, soft, evenly toned""in short, beautiful! How is this logical? Let us use an analogy. You"ll know when you"re sick when you don"t feel well, you look pale and your skin feels clammy, right? Well, just like any other form of illness, it manifests itself in irregularities in your feeling and physical appearance""just like someone with Hepatatis has a yellowish complexion. And so, unhealthy skin can be defined by its rough texture, abnormal coloration (I say abnormal because each person"s tone of complexion varies), dryness and oiliness, and skin that is inappropriate for your age. For instance, you"re just in your twenties and yet you have wrinkles like you"re in your fourties.
So, in contrast to what an unhealthy skin is, a healthy skin is smooth, soft, evenly toned and appropriate for natural aging. It makes sense, right? And what"s most important is that these external factors symbolize that your skin is functioning properly in that it protects your body from the sometimes unkind effects of the environment, prevents harmful germs and bacteria from penetrating your body, and preserves the skin"s natural waterproof property.
So, knowing that a beautiful skin equals a healthy skin, let me give you just one very important word of advice that is essential in keeping your skin healthy and beautiful. Regulate your skin"s exposure to the sun. as you all know, sunlight contains harmful, and sometimes even fatal, UV rays that causes premature skin aging and skin cancer. It is your skin"s number one enemy. It not only makes you sweat, which bleeds your skin of the water it needs to function normally, but too much exposure also causes the appearance of wrinkles, age spots, and skin cancer.
So, if you want to maintain your healthy skin, use precautions when you know you"re going to be exposed to the sun"s hot rays for a long period of time. Make it a habit to apply sunscreen before going out. And since the US is home to Caucasians who love to tan, I recommend that you use sunless tanning lotions and indoor tanning""the spray-on ones and not the ones that use tanning beds and lamps as the World Health Organization (WHO) has already labeled these tanning equipment as carcinogenic.
Of course, keeping your skin healthy does not only involve avoiding too much sun exposure by using sunscreen or self tanning lotions, it also important to eat right, take skin vitamins and clean your skin properly (exfoliate and moisturize!). Remember that keeping your skin beautiful is akin to keeping it healthy.
