Skin Care for Life Tips

Leslie Stewart RN

Why is skin care important? How to take care of your skin this summer?

"Your skin, being the largest organ of your body, works hard every day to protect you from harmful elements," say Leslie Stewart, RN and skin care expert.  "Your skin is the first layer of defense against environmental stressors and bacteria. Keeping your skin healthy and intact is critical to slow down the aging process."

Skin Care Tips

1. Skin care should be apart of your lifetime regimen.
2. The most important part of your daily routine should be protecting your skin from environmental damage, such as sun and pollution.
3. During summer months, it is crucial to take extra care and remember to reapply sunscreen every two or so hours and wear a hat if you can.
4. A sunscreen with a high level of Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide without any other chemical additives is best.

Other factors for maintaining healthy skin are getting enough rest:

• Sticking to a healthy diet
• Staying hydrated
• Getting plenty of exercise
