5 TIPS FOR HEALTHY SKIN

Don't have time for intensive skin care? Pamper yourself with the basics. Good skin care and healthy lifestyle choices can help delay the natural aging process and prevent various skin problems. Get started with these five no-nonsense tips.

1. Protect yourself from the sun

One of the most important ways to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems — as well as increase the risk of skin cancer.

For the most complete sun protection:

• Use sunscreen. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. When you're outdoors, reapply sunscreen every two hours — or more often if you're swimming or perspiring.
• Seek shade. Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun's rays are strongest.
• Wear protective clothing. Cover your skin with tightly woven long-sleeved shirts, long pants and wide-brimmed hats. Also consider laundry additives, which give clothing an additional layer of ultraviolet protection for a certain number of washings, or special sun-protective clothing — which is specifically designed to block ultraviolet rays.

LOOK YOUNGER IN AN INSTANT!

SIMPLE TIPS TO LOOK YOUNGER INSTANTLY!

1) Polish your lips and go flesh toned

Full, plump lips have always been a symbol of youth and desire. But as we get older, our lips start to lose volume duo to a decrease in collagen levels and lines start to be more visible. Try a nourishing lip polish to lift dead skin cells for softer,smoother lips. Remember that the darker shade, the more it emphasizes thin lips, so choose a flesh-toned colour for younger looking pout!

2) Handsome Hands

Smooth the peeling pad over the back of your hands to minimize uneven skin tone and fine lines. Try a blue-based red as for nail polish, this counters any sallowness in your skin, or a beige brown for a subtle statement. Keep nails short and squarish - overly long talons make your hands look older!
