Tips for Healthy Skin

There are several things you can do to help look after your skin. It helps to use a gentle skin care routine and make healthy lifestyle choices. If your doctor has prescribed a treatment, be sure to apply it exactly as he or she has directed.

Medical experts recommend the following tips for healthy skin:

1
Protect skin from the sun
Sun exposure can harm the skin. Always use sunscreen when you're going to be in the sun. Apply it 30 minutes before you go out, and remember to reapply it after swimming.
2
Don't smoke
Smoking causes the tiny blood vessels in the skin to get smaller. This cuts down on blood flow that brings healthy nutrients and vitamins to the skin surface.
3
Use a gentle skin care routine
Avoid strong or harsh soaps, and keep showers or baths short. Pat—rather than rub—skin dry and use a moisturizer. Your doctor can recommend one for you to use.
4
Eat a healthy diet
Be sure your diet includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
5
Manage stress
Stress can trigger skin problems. Talk to your doctor if you think you need help de-stressing your life.
