Updated on April 14, 2020

Almost every one of us wants to have great skin not only because it makes us look better, but because it makes us look younger as taut and bright skin is a testament to blooming youth. However, modern times have plunged us into a lifestyle that is detrimental to the health of our bodies and skin.

As a result, throngs of people are consulting skincare specialists, following healthy skincare rules, and using various cosmetic products to make their skin look healthy. We have discussed here four useful ways of taking care of your skin so that you consult skincare professionals only for treating serious dermatological conditions

1. Clean your face:

Your face must be the first thing that should get your attention because it takes a lot of battering from sunlight, dust, and other pollutants when you go out. Therefore, get a facewash from the market with the natural ingredients and stay away from options with fragrances and harmful ingredients like DEA, MEA, and TEA as they have damaging effects on your skin. 

Moreover, do not go for synthetic masks and instead make a mask out of lemon and honey and apply it on your skin. You can also mix ground oatmeal with honey and yogurt such that a paste is formed, which then can be used as a mask. Lastly, you may not have time to make these masks, but what you can do is wash your face at least twice a day with a natural facewash.

2. Scrub your body:

Buy a castile soap, which is an olive-based product, and is exceptionally useful in cleaning and conditioning the skin of your body. While bathing, wear the exfoliating gloves and lather it with a natural body wash or castile soap to get the maximum result. You can also condition your body with a salt scrub, which can be applied by mixing salt with avocado oil and rubbing it gently with fingertips. You must look to use the salt scrub at least two times per week to get the maximum results.

3. Moisturize your body:

Typically, most of the moisturizers available in the market have a preservative called paraben, which is linked to cancer by various studies. Therefore, you must look to buy a moisturizer without any paraben, and it will be best if you use vegetable oil if you have dry skin. Soak the cotton ball in the oil and apply it on your skin.

Make sure that you apply oil after taking a bath because a warm shower takes all the moisture out of your body, and therefore oil will get readily absorbed. Lastly, do not forget to retain the water reserves in your body by drinking plenty of water so that your skin does not dry up in the first place.

4. Protect your skin:

While ozone is depleting at a rapid rate, more harmful rays are battering our skin with an unprecedented intensity. Therefore, we must use precautionary measures like sunscreen to protect ourselves from this onslaught. But, look to buy sunscreen lotions that have natural ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide so that you do end up damaging your skin.

In a nutshell, your skin is an ultimate reflection of your health, and given the battering, it gets in this modern age, it becomes your responsibility to tend to the needs of your skin.
