Healthy skin is slightly acidic, because of the acid mantle that covers it. The acid mantle is a combination of sebum and sweat to protect the skin from the environment. Every day we lose 850 ml of water through sweat, so drinking water is useful to replace this lost fluid. During the summer, water loss is more rapid, and humid conditions accelerate water loss through the skin as the body tries to cool itself. As a result, increases sebum production, collection and clogging the skin pores. For many, this process results in breakouts, so regular cleaning is recommended. A good skin care system for most types of skin during the summer months is as follows:
1. With a natural detergent, soap or vegetable-based soap detergents.
2. Exfoliation, not more than once or twice a week
3. Hydrate the skin with an alcohol-free, natural or toner build a clean, sterile spray bottle with filtered water and mist on the face after cleansing or exfoliation.
4. Moisturize with a light, all natural moisturizer. Creams and lotions with ingredients based oil tend to clog the pores unnecessarily.
5. Moisturizing facial or massage oil into the skin during the night. Massage serves to increase the circulation to the skin, which helps the renewal of the natural processes that take place during sleep.
6. Keep lips moisturized and protected with a lip balm, lip gloss or lipstick, preferably containing a natural Sun block, such as titanium dioxide.
7.Cover to reduce the amount of exposure to sun hat with a wide strata, long and loose fitting clothing. Ninety percent of skin cancers are due to chronic damage Sunday and eighty percent of wrinkles resulting from photo aging.
Any discussion of skin care that does not include a discussion of nutrition is lacking a fundamental principle of healthy skin. Good health and beauty are synonymous. For example, a clogged and spotty complexion can be linked to a diet high in saturated fats and sugars. Sensitive skin may become aggravated by poor digestion or inadequate absorption of nutrients. Dry flaky skin may reflect a diet low in fatty acids and vitamin E. Skin that does not heal quickly may be low in vitamins A, B6, C or zinc. A healthy, varied diet helps the skin defend itself against infection, cellular damage and aging premature, especially during the summer months. Increasing your daily intake of fresh, raw vegetables and fruit adds vitamins, antioxidants and water to your diet. Take advantage of the greater variety of fresh food available during the summer, since a good diet is one of the elements essential for healthy, glowing skin.
