Do you wish your skin looked supple, healthy, and clear? Are you unhappy with the way your skin looks despite skin care products that promise results? In this article, I’ve developed a set of ‘Emergency Skin Survival’ rules that anyone can use to keep your skin looking beautiful and to reverse damage from normal life. Read on to learn how to implement these rules.
TO KEEP YOUR SKIN BEAUTIFUL FOREVER
- Protect it from the sun – hats, sunblock, sunshades and clothing
- Eat fresh, healthy, and whole foods, avoid sugars and packaged foods whenever possible.
- Don’t rub or scrub your skin too hard
- Use protective creams and lotions
YOU AND YOUR SKIN
Your skin is the body’s largest organ. It is there to protect your insides from harmful UV radiation, bacteria, fungi, and from extreme heat and cold. It needs proper care to avoid things like dehydration, pimples, dull skin, sagging, and under-eye circles.
I’ve been a licensed cosmetologist since I was 18 years old, and people always ask me. “How do you keep your skin so beautiful?” So I developed a set of ‘Emergency Skin Survival’ rules that anyone can use to prevent normal damage.
The basic rules of Emergency Skin Survival are just like any survival: PROTECT – FOOD – RESCUE
PROTECT – the first rule is, ‘protect yourself’. Protect yourself from the elements. This is also true for your skin. Daily moisturizer, sun protection, and keeping your skin clean, are all vital components that help your skin protect YOU from harmful things. Things like hats, and protective clothing will help protect your skin. Skin should be kept clean and free of bacteria, and washed and moisturized morning and night.
FOOD – The next rule is, ‘check your supplies‘. This means, find out how to keep yourself hydrated and fed, until you are rescued. For your skin, it. means proper hydration and the right nutrients. Eat fresh and healthy foods. They will keep your skin supple and able to resist damage. You are what you eat, and poor skin health, can lead to skin eruptions and unhealthy skin.
RESCUE The last rule is, ‘survive until rescue’. It may seem a bit odd to apply this to skin care, but think about it like this; if your skin was in a hostile environment, it would need to survive until it was rescued. The truth is, your skin is in a hostile environment every day! Sun, wind, environmental toxins, rubbing and scrubbing, lack of sleep, they all take their toll. And the most susceptible areas of your skin are the things people see the most; the skin on your face, neck and hands. So help your skin to survive with daily rescue. Use moisturizer, keep excess oil off your face with blotting papers, Mask regularly to remove toxins. Be gentle, use your pinky and ring finger only to wash and dry your face.
