I am sure we all know that our skin is a major sense organ and it plays a vital role in protecting our body from various diseases, germs and pathogens that want to move into the body.

I promise after reading this article you will understand basic tips on how to take good care of your skin.

Overview of the skin:

The human skin is the outer layer of the body. The skin tends to be one of the largest organs with about seven layers. The seven layers consist of the epidermis, the dermal layer which protects the underlying muscles. The skin is the part of the body that is always in contact with the environment and so, therefore, it plays a very imperative role in protecting our immune system. It protects our body against pathogens and excess loss of water. Other roles the skin plays include regulating the body temperature and so many other roles. The skin also serves as an insulator for the body.

Care for the skin:

Caring for the skin goes beyond what we think; it goes beyond just washing or cleaning the skin and rubbing the skin with body lotion or cream.

Eat foods that are nutritious:

The kind of food we eat also plays a vital role in maintaining our skin or keeping our skin in a good state. When treating your skin always, don’t use additional treatments like moisturizing masks and exfoliating scrubs that don’t suit your skin.

Here is an executive summary of steps to take care of the skin:

Use cleansers

Always use a cleanser or gel to clean the face at least twice a day (morning and before going to bed). These cleaners are known to have moisturizing effects that help in keeping the body clean and hydrated.

Use toners

Also after making use of the cleanser, it’s advisable to use a toner twice also. This gives the skin added benefits like hydration, skin moisturizing and closing up pores. In summary, using a toner after a cleanser is good for the health and it also makes you feel good.

Note: when making use of a toner always try to get toners with antioxidants like green tea, Vitamin C or Vitamin E.

Wash off makeup of your face

Ensure you wash your face and entire body to get rid of makeups, makeups, and foundations can cause the pore holes to be covered.

On a final note take personal care of your skin in any other natural way to maintain your body complexion.
