I'd like to share with you some tips (dont's) of skin care.
Don’t Smoke. Not only does smoking restrict blood flow but the toxins
from the smoke encourage free radical formation. This not only damages
your skin but also allows wrinkles and fine lines to be more
prevalent.
Don't Drink excessive alcohol. Although it’s nice to celebrate with a
few Margaritas every now and then, making it a lifestyle leaves you
with more than a nasty hangover the next day. Aside from damaging your
liver, alcohol slows circulation and dehydrates the body leaving skin
looking older and less lively.
Don't Stress out! Easier said than done, I know. Stress causes
breakout on the face that, in turn, leads to even more stress and even
more breakouts! It’s a vicious cycle. Invest in some Yoga classes or
tell the kids to watch a movie while you slip into a nice warm bath
after a long stressful day. Your skin will thank you.
Don't Bake in the sun. What’s that sizzling sound? Although a day at
the beach and blistering sunburn may sound like a great idea, your
skin is screaming for help. UV rays intensify free radical formation,
which, as stated earlier, leads to a more aged look. Get to know SPF
protection. Use it wisely and it will treat you well.
Don't Take Too Much Vitamin A
You may have heard that vitamin A helps cure acne. What you may not
know is that if you take too much of it, vitamin A can accumulate in
your liver to dangerous levels and cause serious health problems. It’s
best to get your vitamin A in moderation, from whole foods. Good
sources include leafy greens (like spinach and watercress) and orange
veggies (like sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and carrots

The foods that come closest to having the set of nutrients needed
for healthy skin are the skins of other animals. Which skin to eat
depends on your own skin problems. If you have oily or scaly skin,
for example, you should not eat fish skin. If you have bumpy skin,
you should not eat chicken or goose skin. For most people, pig skin
comes closest to the ideal of a healthy smooth skin. This is widely
available as fried pork rinds, sold in the snack section of
supermarkets everywhere. Hope this helps  |

If you do not spend time in the sun regularly, with bare skin, you
probably need Vit D supplements.

course you are. Well, I got an even better idea out of an old science
textbook
If you want a child with spotted skin, peel a stick with spotted
bark and stare at it. If you want your child not to have spotted skin,
do the opposite.

But is the opposite to not peel the spotted stick before you stare at it, to
peel an unspotted stick and stare at it, to peel either but not stare,... |
