Natural skin care consists of two things: one is maintaining and keeping it healthy through lifestyle changes and healthy habits; and the other is using products made from natural ingredients. Combining these two is the best way to prevent skin aging and keep your complexion free from wrinkles and lines.

Healthy Skin Care Habits:

• Sun Protection – Sun exposure is a major cause of freckles, wrinkles, brown spots, and dryness. A more serious effect of over-exposure to the sun is skin cancer. Always remember to wear protective clothing or use sunscreen to protect yourself. Try to avoid direct sunlight between ten a.m. to four p.m.

• No Smoking – Smoking can make your skin look older; thus, lines and wrinkles appear. It deprives your skin of nutrients and oxygen and damages elastin and collagen. These are all important to your skin and when depleted can lead to aging skin.

• Healthy Diet – Eat fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, and vegetables. A healthy diet can make you healthy inside and out. Food rich in Vitamin C and E are good for you, too.

• Treat Skin Gently – Daily habits can be changed for better looking skin. Limiting your bath time, avoiding strong soaps, and moisturizing your skin are good daily care habits.

• Manage Stress – Even if you do all the right things and use all natural skin care products, your skin would still age fast if you are constantly stressing. Stress can cause breakouts and acne. So manage your stress by taking time to enjoy things. Work hard but remember to also play hard.

Finding the right natural product is not as difficult because there are now many choices available. Take time to read labels so you will be sure to know what you are getting. Do make healthy lifestyle changes and keep a positive outlook to manage stress. These are all good for you and will keep premature aging away.
