Your skin is responsible for so many functions, many of which you wouldnt even consider. It helps control temperature, get rid of toxins and protect organs among many other things. It is so important to have good skin care so that it maintains its functioning well, but also so that it looks its best. Here are the best tips for skincare that you need to be doing to keep your skin youthful.

1.) Protect your skin from the sun. Nothing else ages the skin and causes blemishes like the sun, so you need to shelter it from the damaging rays. Do not spend long hours exposed to the sun and avoid it when it is most powerful, between the hours of 11am-1pm. Always wear sunscreen, even if you are not going out in the sun as it is very moisturising and will protect against the constant low level U.V rays that silently damage over time. You can also buy some beauty products that have UV protection, which are great for helping to prevent UV damage on a day to day basis.

2.) Keep your skin moisturised. Your skin, very much like other parts of the body requires water to work effectively so you need to ensure it is always supple and moisturised. This is not to say you should apply moisturiser all over the body all the time as this can suffocate the skin, but instead treat it when it is dry with quality skin products. After swimming, showering and being in the cold for a long time are common occasions when you need to top up your skins moisture.

3.) Dont smoke. Cigarette smoke contains so many poisons and toxins that are completely counterproductive to its functioning. They close up blood supply, dehydrate the skin, mutate cells and block pores. You only have to look at a chronic smokers skin to realise this is a given, so stay away from them.

4.) Try to keep stress levels down. This is hard one but very important for complexion. We all know that teenagers classically suffer from outbreaks and this is down to higher hormone levels during puberty causing excessive oil production. The same thing happens when you are stressed but with stress hormones instead and this can be avoided by taking a little time out each day to relax. Try booking spa days every now again as well, where you can get a nice cleansing facial and just chill out for the day.

5.) Keep make-up levels down. Light or high qaulity make-ups are not so bad but when you begin layering or using thick make-ups the skin simply cannot breathe and pores become infected and inflamed. Before you go to bed, make sure you have taken off all make-up. This is because the skin does a great deal of self-cleaning over night and this process cannot take place effectively if it is covered in a thick layer of foundation.

Follow these few key tips and your skin will thank you for it by looking better than ever. There are some great womens gifts you can buy that help you remove make-up in the evening, without being too harsh on the skin.
