A healthy maintenance program for one's body is eating a nutritional diet, refraining from smoking and drug use, limiting alcohol intake, regular exercise, ample rest, drink plenty of water, and getting plenty of (protected) sun and fresh air. This will improve the condition and health of your skin, hair, and nails from the inside out. This lays a great foundation for proper skin, hair, and nail care routines.
Your skin should receive a little extra attention due to the fact that it is the largest organ on your body, and it is your shield of armor. If you do not do your part in protecting your shield of armor, your skin, it cannot effectively protect you and will begin to show the signs of damage from fighting the elements alone.
Your skin care routine does not have to be expensive nor extensive, just done on a regular schedule. Be cautious when choosing your skin care products. Many skin care products on the market today are made with toxic chemicals that can cause serious harm over use. Skin care products do not require approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) nor is there any check standard for quality or proof of claim of benefits. Often times the claims of benefits of skin care products are great exaggerated.
One way to choose quality products is by word of mouth from friends and families to see what has worked well for them. However, just because one product may have worked for their skin type and conditions does not necessarily mean it will work the same for you. Another more effective option is to consult with an aesthetician. An aesthetician can help you pick out skin care products specific for your particular skin needs. They have access to skin care products that you would not otherwise available to you, and they usually know the outcome of the latest medical studies.
Skin care products that should include quality sun protection. Some skin care products come already with a sun protection factor. An aesthetician can help you to determine which sun protection method will be most efficient for you. You should be sure the cream protects you from both UVA and UVB rays since both may be harmful to the skin.
Nail care and hair care are just as important as far as appearance value as your skin. However, skin care does hold a bit more precedence over the two. An aesthetician can also help you in the selection of other products that lack harmful chemicals. A nail tech can help you learn a healthy nail care routine to minimize the risks of fungal and antibiotic resistant staph infections. They can also share tips with you on proper cuticle and nail care. Yes, you should regularly maintain your skin just like you would be your hair and nails if not even more so, after all, it is the only one you have and keeping it healthy should be second nature to us all.
