Skin is one of the largest organs of the body. Because of this, caring for your skin can directly affect your overall health. Your skin acts as a protective shield and is most vulnerable to outside elements. It’s affected by more factors than you may think. For instance, the following can play a role in your overall skin health:
⦁ exposure to UV radiation in tanning beds
⦁ exposure to chemical toxins in tobacco
⦁ unprotected sun exposure for long periods
⦁ not getting enough rest, fluids, or nutrition
⦁ aging
Taking care of your skin
There are steps you can take to ensure you have healthy skin. They include the following:
⦁ Cleanse regularly, typically twice daily.
⦁ Apply a toner after cleansing if you have oily skin.
⦁ Apply a moisturizer if you have dry skin.
⦁ Exfoliate to remove dead skin cells and brighten up your complexion.
Besides a daily skincare routine, make it a habit to examine your skin for abnormalities, discolorations, or any other changes regularly. Have your skin examined by a doctor or dermatologist annually for any changes, or if:
⦁ you have fair skin or many or large moles
⦁ you are in the sun or use tanning beds
⦁ you have a history of skin problems, irritations, or growths
It’s also important to protect your skin from too much sun and sun damage, which may increase wrinkles as well as lead to skin cancer. Cover your skin or use sunscreen to protect your skin from the damaging rays of the sun. See your doctor or dermatologist if any skin irritations or problems arise.
