When people think about their skin, they end up placing too much emphasis on the aesthetic aspect. Such people endlessly obsess over trivial things like skin tone, colour and texture. What they miss out is the fact that skin health is more than skin deep.
Skin,
the largest organ in the human body, serves multiple functions. It acts as a
barrier to keep out microbes and foreign bodies, helps retain or release
moisture and is the primary producer of vitamin D. If you do not take proper
care of your skin, then it will be unable to perform its various functions
efficiently.
Protecting your skin health
1. Control sun exposure: This is perhaps the most
important step you can take to secure your skin health. Sunlight contains
harmful UV radiation which can damage skin cells and induce the formation of
wrinkles, freckles, discolouration and even skin cancer. So remember to carry
an umbrella whenever you need to step out into the sunlight. For extra
protection, apply a sunscreen lotion (having at least SPF 30) on the most
exposed portions of your skin.
2. Drink plenty of water: This will help to keep your skin
moist and supple, while allowing the body to maintain a normal core
temperature. Make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of water every single day.
This will cut down the risk of suffering from dry and flaky skin.
3. Take health precautions: There are some minor but persistent bad
habits such as sharing lipsticks or other cosmetic items with other people
(mostly family members). This can lead to the spread of a wide range of skin
infections. Don’t allow others to use beauty products that you use. Moreover,
avoid touching your face with objects like telephone receivers which may have
been used by other people.
4. Use cosmetic items carefully: If you want to use makeup then
opt for products from reputed brands which are gentle to your skin. Try to use cosmetics
sparingly. Putting on too much makeup can irritate the skin, leading to redness
and itching. Wash your face properly with plain water before applying them.
Avoid wearing makeup for too long. After removing them, wash your face with
warm water and a mild cleanser.
5. Watch your skin: Pay attention to freckles and
moles on your skin. If you observe any changes, then consult a skin expert
without delay. If you regularly suffer from rashes, itching or dry skin, then
you need to talk to your doctor before the condition worsens. This will help
you diagnose and treat skin diseases like dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis or
others in the early stages, which in turn will help speed up recovery time.
