How to Improve your Skin:
If you skin becomes, dry, flaky or damaged it cant work effectively against the elements we face everyday. We most maintain moisture and lipid retention that is the key factor. Because moisture moves upwards in the skin levels to hydrate cells on the surface it is important to clean that layer and clear it for the moisture to come.
Soap works alright to remove dirt, but harsh soaps can damage the protective lipids on the surface. To help preserve that layer you want to avoid products that will strip the natural protective layer.
Below is Dr. Oz's prescription for the healthiest skin.
- Add 1/4 cup olive oil to bath water
- Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or cloth to remove dead skin
- Use a mild body wash that contains replenishing oils that penetrate the skin
- Don't use overly hot water and pat dry after bathing
- After bathing apply a coat of moisturizer while still damp
- Avoid ingredients that cause sensitivity or have heavy fragrances or dyes
- Eat foods high in zinc and vitamin C to promote cell renewal
