Being cosmetically related part of our body, it is very most essential to take care of skin. Skin care involves more than just cleaning and using moisturizure. It involves having a healthy diet plan, getting sound sleep and exercise, and minimizing stress.
1.Cleaning/washing.
It is one of the most important factor. Cleaning should be done twice daily or even more. Warm water is recommended. Gently massage your face . you can use different herbal face wash but avoid chemicals. Overwashing and scrubbing can irritate skin. Now, gently apply clean towel.
2.Protection from sun
Well, exposure of skin to sun can damage your skin and cause sunburn. It is also found that exposure to sun radiation causes cancer.
Apply sunscreen with SPF of at least 15 that blocks both UVA and UVB rays.
WHAT IS SPF ???
It stands for sun protection factor. It mesasures how well a sunscreen will protect skin from UVB rays.
If your skin normally burn after 10 minutes in the sun, applying an SPF-15 would allow you to stay in the sun without burning for approx. 150 minutes (15 times longer). This is a rough estimate.It depends on skin type, amount of sunscreen used, intensity of sunlight and quality of sunscreen.
But keep in mind that really high SPF like SPF 75 do not offer more protection than SPF 30 ( many result has shown this).
3.Drink water.
