You do not have time for intensive skin care? Pamper yourself with the basics. Good skin care
and healthy lifestyle can help delay the natural aging process and
prevent a variety of skin problems. Getting started with these five
no-nonsense advice.
Tips 3 for Natural Skin Care This Summer…
Tip 1: Give Yourself a Dry Brush Exfoliation
Dry brush exfoliation can be done in the morning before you shower.
It removes dead skin cells and allows the skin to detox (skin is the
largest organ of elimination). Dry brush exfoliation also improves lymph
and blood circulation and reduces swelling. An additional benefit is
that the gentle pressure calms the nervous system. To give yourself a
dry brush exfoliation, you’ll need a soft, natural bristles.
2 Tip: Avoid excess sugar
Most people do not realize this but excess sugar is considered one of
the main causes of premature aging. The more sugar we eat, the more
sugar we enter our bloodstream. Over time, this can result in a process
known as glycation, which occurs when the glucose (sugar) molecule
damages a protein molecule by sticking to it. New molecules formed are
called advanced glycation end products, or age. AGEs damage collagen in skin, cartilage and ligaments and promote a loss of elasticity. Wrinkles form and skin begins to sag.
Try it – It may seem impossible to reduce your intake of sugar, but it can be done! A gradual approach works best. The next week, choose one thing you are going to do to reduce the amount of sugar you consume. For example, start by reducing the amount of sugar in your daily coffee or tea twice. Each week, find another way, you can reduce the consumption of sugar. Pretty soon, you’ll be surprised at how far you’ve come!

3 Tip: eat some good fats
Essential fatty acids are simply fats your body can not live without.
They are needed to make cell membranes, hormones and other body
chemicals. Major fats is believed to maintain a healthy heart, to combat
inflammation and may prevent cancer. Additionally, they are especially
important for people with inflammatory conditions such as eczema and
acne, and also for people with dry skin. People with a deficiency of
essential fatty sometimes notice bumps on the backs of their hands. Here
are my suggestions on getting more essential fats:
Flaxseed and walnut oil – the use of flaxseed oil or walnut oil with balsamic vinegar as a salad dressing. Be sure to keep these oils in the refrigerator. They should not be heated or used for cooking.
Cold water fish – Sardines are a good source of essential fats. Salmon is another good source, however these salmon accumulate toxic polychlorinated biphenyls (otherwise known as PCBs) in their body fat at 95 percent of their lives they spend at sea.
