Hi! Today I want to discuss skin and skin care with you. Keep in mind that skin is the largest organ in the body, it plays a crucial role in our overall health by acting as a barrier to microbes, bacteria, and viruses; it acts like a sponge absorbing vitamins, minerals and other matter; it provides a mechanism for reception from our senses; finally it maintains our body’s temperature and regulates fluid loss and retention. Since skin is so important to our body’s overall health and maintenance, it only makes sense to pay attention to what it needs. The health of our skin is affected by many things including: diet, exercise, and your daily skin care regime. Diet plays an important role in the appearance and health of our skin. There are specific nutrients that are good for our skin’s overall health and some foods that are not. Be sure to include lots of fish, leafy greens, olive oil, fruit and water in your diet. Leafy greens and many fruits are loaded with vitamins A, C and E and have been found effective in fighting UV rays that cause melanoma (skin cancer) and other environmental factors that break down collagen. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish help our skins cell membranes stay strong and flexible (which is important because during the aging process our body has trouble absorbing nutrients which causes thinning of the skin). Water, fresh fruit and whole grains are great for the health of our skin. B vitamins from whole grains improve circulation, and help combat age spots and eczema; while water, and oils like olive oil keep the skin suppler and well hydrated. Fresh fruit and whole grains are full of fiber which is good for preventing constipation allowing the dumping of free radicals and toxins. Exercise is also important to your skins health by boosting circulation and delivering of nutrients to your skin. As exercise boosts oxygen to the skin, it also helps increase the natural production of collagen, the connective tissue that plumps your skin. In addition, sweating helps to clear pores and remove toxins. Finally, your daily skin care regime is another important factor in maintaining your skins appearance and overall health. Skin needs to be cared for adequately, just like any other part of the body. A daily skin care regimen is as important for the skin as food or water. A daily skin care routine is a 4 part process: cleansing, exfoliating, toning, and moisturizing. Cleansing the skin is the most basic step of any skin care routine. It rids the skin of impurities, dirt, oil and grime which cause the pores to clog and lead to breakouts from pimples, whiteheads and blackheads. Exfoliating removes the dead skin cells and leaving the skin looking clean and fresh and feeling soft and smooth. It should be done just twice a week for oily skin and once a week for dry or sensitive skin. Toning helps keep the skin firm and controls the production of oil from the sebaceous glands. It removes traces of makeup that is left behind after cleansing. Moisturizing is the most important step of your daily skin care routine. Moisturizing keeps it nourished, hydrated and healthy. When choosing products for your daily skin care routine choose products designed for your specific skin type. Avon carries many products that are effective caring for your skin, such as: Beginning with Avon’s new “Elements” There are four different product lines in the Elements family: Revitalize, Youth Restoring, Moisture Boost,(Normal and Oil-free).
