From: Hayes on 15 Nov 2009 10:47 I'd like to share with you some tips (dont's) of skin care. 1. DonÂ’t Smoke. Not only does smoking restrict blood flow but the toxins from the smoke encourage free radical formation. This not only damages your skin but also allows wrinkles and fine lines to be more prevalent. 2. Don't Drink excessive alcohol. Although itÂ’s nice to celebrate with a few Margaritas every now and then, making it a lifestyle leaves you with more than a nasty hangover the next day. Aside from damaging your liver, alcohol slows circulation and dehydrates the body leaving skin looking older and less lively. 3. Don't Stress out! Easier said than done, I know. Stress causes breakout on the face that, in turn, leads to even more stress and even more breakouts! ItÂ’s a vicious cycle. Invest in some Yoga classes or tell the kids to watch a movie while you slip into a nice warm bath after a long stressful day. Your skin will thank you. 4. Don't Bake in the sun. WhatÂ’s that sizzling sound? Although a day at the beach and blistering sunburn may sound like a great idea, your skin is screaming for help. UV rays intensify free radical formation, which, as stated earlier, leads to a more aged look. Get to know SPF protection. Use it wisely and it will treat you well. 5. Don't Take Too Much Vitamin A You may have heard that vitamin A helps cure acne. What you may not know is that if you take too much of it, vitamin A can accumulate in your liver to dangerous levels and cause serious health problems. ItÂ’s best to get your vitamin A in moderation, from whole foods. Good sources include leafy greens (like spinach and watercress) and orange veggies (like sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and carrots Detailed skin care tips can be found at http://www.skin-care-tutor.blogspot..com/
