Skin Care: What You Need To Know For A Healthy Glow

Though you wouldn't know it from the hundreds and thousands of products being sold every day

, skin care isn't as much of a mystery as manufacturers would like you to believe. In fact, the tenants of good, healthy skin haven't changed a whole lot in modern times. As long as you protect it and care for it in some basic, simple ways, you'll have very little use for those expensive creams you are constantly being told you need to purchase. If you want to reign in your purse and get rid of a lot of common problems, here are some things you should know.

Keeping your pores clean is one of the most basic things you can do to have a successful skin care regimen. And doing that means keeping that regimen as simple and natural as possible. Going overboard with creams, oils, makeup, and moisturizers is just going to clog your pores and make things worse. Not to accuse any companies of nefarious activity, but did you ever consider the fact that few products have much of an incentive of really clearing up your face? If they did that, you would never need to buy another bottle!

Good skin care starts with overall good health. Your skin is just another organ of the body and it will tell you in no uncertain terms if you aren't eating and exercising the way you should be. Sure, some people are blessed with a naturally beautiful outer shell, but the rest of us have to work at it a bit. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. That is the number one priority. Keep your meats lean and keep your sugar intake low. Try to get more fiber and drink a lot of water. Avoid using tobacco products-particularly cigarettes.

When it comes to cleansers, keep it as natural and simple as you can. Try out several types of soaps until you find one that is right for you. Avoid bar soaps, as they have a tendency to dry out your skin and leave it looking somewhat lifeless. No matter what type of soap you use, you'll want to follow it up with a good moisturizer. A good idea is to find one that is non-alkaline. Whether you prefer a lotion or a gel is up to you. There is little need to buy the most expensive one on the rack. As long as you keep these principles in mind, you can shave a lot of time off your skin care regimen and save a lot of money when you're at the store.
