How to Have Healthy Skin

from wikiHow
Skin is the body's largest organ. Made of 3 layers, skin contains nerves, blood vessels, hair follicles, glands and fatty tissues. The skin functions to protect the body from environmental elements, injuries and behavior that can be potentially harmful. Healthy skin is the result of proper diet, exercise, controlling stress, good skin care and avoiding negative behaviors.

Steps

Eat a balanced diet that is low-fat, lean, high in antioxidants and contains essential fatty acids and whole grains.
- Nutrients maintain skin tone, smoothness and prevent skin problems.
- Antioxidants found in plums, blueberries, prunes, pecans and strawberries protect the skin from cell damage caused by free radicals.
- Essential fatty acids keep skin tissue healthy.
- Daily water intake important to hydrate and detoxify the skin in addition to stimulating circulation.
Avoid the sun at its brightest times. Ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage the skin when exposed for prolonged periods. UV rays often cause sunburn and can lead to skin cancer.
- Apply sunscreen before going outside to protect the skin.
- Wear a hat to protect your neck, ears and face.
- Check skin regularly, from head to toe, for skin changes such as growths, moles and any changes in their color and texture.
Cleanse the skin daily. Bathing everyday and washing your face in the morning and at night help to fight bacteria that can cause breakouts. Soap and lukewarm water is sufficient for cleansing without irritating or drying the skin.
- Use gentle moisturizing cleansers free of chemicals, preservatives and fragrances.
- Bathe up to 10 minutes for healthy skin. Long baths or showers can dry and irritate the skin.
- Do not wipe or rub the skin when drying. Applying excessive pressure can remove natural skin oils.
- Dab the skin gently with a clean dry towel before applying a moisturizer.
Use the right moisturizer for the environment. Moisturizers that contain glycerin, mineral oil, and petrolatum contain minimal water to protect against moisture loss in low humidity. Applying moisturizer within minutes after bathing helps to trap moisture in the skin.
- Using lotion or cream to moisturize in high humidity may be sufficient as the skin naturally replenishes itself.
Avoid stress to reduce the risk of hives, stress related eczema and other skin conditions. Avoiding stress can also reduce nervous habits such as lip or nail biting.
Stop smoking to reduce developing lip cancer and skin discoloration from loss of oxygen. Additionally, smoking can cause premature aging resulting in crow's feet and mouth lines.

Tips

Apply sunscreen that blocks UVA and UVB rays during any season. Both ultraviolet rays are contributing factors to skin cancer and premature aging.

Warnings

See a doctor if you experience unexplainable skin problems such as inflamed acne, boils, rash, nodules or other characteristics that may indicate a possible medical condition.
