Skin is one of the most important parts of the body because it protects the entire body from different kinds of harmful elements and it requires constant care. Dirt, sun, dust and harmful chemicals can easily damage the skin so we need effective skin care tips in order to protect ourselves from dangerous substances.

One of the best skin care tips is to have a natural skin care routine to pamper the skin and protect it from premature aging and skin disease. External and internal factors can bring negative effects to the skin. External factors include the sun's harmful UV rays, dust and dirt while internal factors are the unhealthy foods we consume.

What we eat greatly affect the condition of our skin. Though genes have a lot to do in determining skin condition and an individual can have a bad skin because of hormonal imbalance in some age, eating unhealthy foods can seriously damage the skin. This issue cannot be solved through external care.

Here are some skin care tips for a healthy and clear skin.

1.    The most important of all the skin care tips is maintaining your skin clean. It is recommended to use mild facial wash for your skin type rather than using soap for your face. You can also use natural home remedies to keep your skin healthy, beautiful and glowing. For instance, use lemon juice, rose water and fruit juices in order to clean and wipe your face, which can help you look and feel refreshed. People who have dry skin are recommended to use a dash of milk cream mixed with a drop of lemon and rub it on the skin.

2.    Remember that drinking a lot of fluids is best to keep the skin healthy. As much as possible, have at least eight to ten glasses of water each day. Fruit juices are also helpful for their nutritional content.

3.    Make sure to apply sunscreen lotion whenever you go out. Sunscreen is necessary to protect the skin from the dangerous UV rays of the sun, which is known to cause damages such as blemishes, pigmentation, burn mask, premature aging and even skin cancer.

4.    It is best to avoid any unhealthy foods especially if you are already experiencing acne or skin irritation. Do not drink too much coffee, alcohol, saturated drinks and tea to avoid skin acne outbreaks. In addition, smoking is known to have bad effects to the skin. Tobacco tends to make the skin dry and dull. If you lessen or stop consuming these things, your skin will look a lot younger and healthier.

5.    If you are one of those people who cannot keep up with their busy schedules and cannot find time to take care of their skin properly, it is advisable to keep moist tissues inside your bag or purse to wipe your face and remove sweat and dirt. Make sure to apply sunscreen and mild moisturizer on your skin before going outside to protect your skin. However, no matter how busy you are, do not forget to wash your face before going to bed. Remove make up and apply a good moisturizer that is best fro the type of your skin.
