Preventative Skin Care

Preventative Skin Care

By:


It is more difficult to erase the damage caused by years of sun exposure and improper skin care than to pamper and preserve youthful skin, so it is best to start a healthy skin care routine early. By teaching young people the value of a healthy lifestyle and proper skin care we are offering them a lifetime of beautiful skin. One of the most important lessons is the value of applying sunscreen regularly.

I certainly wish I could go back and warn my teenage self of the dangers of sun exposure. Most skin cancers are caused by sun damage caused by UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays are thought to be responsible for photoaging while UVB rays are responsible for the sunburn we get when we spend too long in the sun.

It is important to teach our kids to properly care for their skin and warn them of the dangers of sun damage before the damage is done. We should also teach young people to be aware of the ingredients in the products that they are using.

Unfortunately, we are surrounded by products claiming to improve our skin and often they are full of chemical fillers, synthetic fragrances, parabens and other ingredients that can do more damage than good. It is important to learn at a young age that we should be aware of the products that we use and what they contain. Avoid products that are not all natural and safe for daily use. The best way to teach our kids the importance of good skin care is to set a good example.

Do you use sunscreen when you are going to be out in the sun? Do you cleanse your skin properly to remove all the dirt, oil and make up that can clog your pores and cause break outs? Do you use products that are healthy for your body? Do you eat a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables and other antioxidant rich foods? Beautiful skin starts at home with a healthy lifestyle, drinking plenty of water, staying out of the sun and sticking with a healthy skin care routine.
