Perfect Skincare Tips for Men
Some of you might think that skin-care routines are for ladies.
If you are into business like me, fetching million dollar deals
are worth the time spend than doing your own facial cleansing
and routine checkup. But don't ever forget that your first
impression always last longer in your customers' head than you
would expect. A good looking with nice clean facial skin may
prove to be your ultimate prerequisite in striking your
negotiation deal. Here are some of the do's and don'ts in
getting the perfect skin.
Do's of perfect skin Do exercise. Physically fit people look
good and feel good. Exercise improves internal circulation to
bring oxygen and nutrients to the skin. This makes skin firmer
and better nourished, as well as slows down aging. Regular
exercise also helps improve your appearance, prolong your life,
build self-confidence and reshape your figure. Your improved
circulation will help to calm the nerves and promote a more
revitalizing sleep. Move more, feel younger, and look better!
Do use products. Cleanse your face everyday with cleanser, toner
and moisturizer. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of
different brands and makes to choose from, but always use
products suitable for your skim type, whether it is oily or dry.
Have a good consultation from the skincare expert to determine
the best suitable type of product for your skin.
Do drink water. A major cause of skim winkles is water loss from
the skim. Water hydrates skin, keeping it moist, soft and
supple. Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water a day. If you are
like me, bring a small bottle of water in your briefcase so you
can always have water to drink whenever you go.
Do rest. Lack of sleep makes your skin look dry and dull, and
your eyes will become puffy. When we don't have enough sleep or
rest, we feel tired and listless. We need an average of 8 hours
of sleep every night, but many of us have only 5 to 6 hours. The
effects of inadequate sleep will start to show as you age.
Do eat properly. Keep your vitamin up by eating at least 5
portions of fruits or vegetables daily. If you are not getting
enough vitamins from good, take multivitamin supplements. Stay
away from fatty foods, as they will make your skin greasy.
The Don'ts Don't smoke. Smoking restricts blood flow to and from
the skin, and adds to toxin levels. It also robs the skin of its
vitality and potential for being smooth and attractive. People
who smoke tend to have pallid complexion and skin that wrinkles
prematurely.
Don't drink too much alcohol. Alcohol can dehydrate the skin and
impede circulation. This depletes the skin's moisture content
and interrupts the flow of vitamins and minerals needed for a
healthy complexion.
Don't stress out. Stress is bad for your physical and mental
health, and also bad for your skin. It can cause your face to
suffer breakouts of pimples, inflammation and make it look
sensitive and dull. Relax!
Don't fry in the sun. Use a high factor sunscreen with SP15 or
higher rating when the sun's rays are strongest. It's best to
avoid the sun's rays whenever possible. Don't overdo sun beds as
they can also damage your skin, cause dryness and increase the
risk of skin cancer. The safest sun tan is to get a fake one.
If you are female, always remove makeup before going to bed,
because makeup left on overnight is a major cause of clogged
pores that lead to blackhead formation and pimple breakouts.
Cleanse twice after removing makeup - once for removing surface
impurities, another time for deep pore cleansing.
Never use soap because its harshness upsets the PH balance and
removes the natural moisture barrier of your skin. Use a
soap-free, acid-balanced cleanser instead. If you like the
lathering effect of soap, search for a foaming, lathering
cleanser.
Lukewarm water is best for cleansing. Water that is too cold or
too hot can cause dehydration, irritation and may increase
breakouts. Apply a non-astringent toner after cleansing to
rehydrate your skin and to reestablish the PH balance.
