After hitching into the hype about skin care products, now is the time to bend your view about skin care a little bit, and getting a few suggestions on natural skin care is a good way to jumpstart. 1. Watch your diet. Remember the adage, You are what you eat? This speaks volume about skin care. Keep in mind that a good and healthy diet translates to an equally healthy skin. Protecting yourself from the sun's deadly rays is one of the best skin care strategies out there. Since exposure to the sun is one of the major causes of skin aging, lesser exposure to it can help you reduce the risk factor of skin cancer. To protect your skin further, avoid long sun exposure 10 a.m. If you are using beauty products such as skin care creams, make sure that you are consistent in using or applying the product/s properly by following the instructions included. 3. Always keep your skin well hydrated by having enough liquid supply in your body by drinking lots of water or juices. Water or liquid intake should be 8 glasses or more daily. Are you even aware that basic skin care can be as easy as a two step process that would not eat up so much of your time everyday, and can even help you achieve the maximum desired results if followed through diligently and consistently. Basic skin care is not rocket science, it is simply the practical and logical process by which we take good care of our skin and the need, plus the process by which we naturally care or our skin, is initially inherent among ourselves. Treatment results will of course vary depending on the condition of the skin before the treatment and of course the severity of the problem. But as mentioned before, with microdermabrasion, there will be shorter recovery time. Patients can already resume their work even hours after treatment. Before the treatment There are really no strict requirements before undergoing the procedure. It is always better to be safe than sorry. Also look for sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays, especially those labeled with "broad spectrum protection" or UVA protection for formulation with an SPF of 15 or greater. Select a sunscreen that is labeled "nonacnegenic" or "noncomedogenic" to help keep pores clear and also prevents the skin from having pimples or acne.
