Proactive Skin Care Approach
It is easy to think "my skin looks fine, I'll worry about it
when I am older", but that is not a sound way to view the health
of your skin. A
proactive skin care approach is where you adopt a skin care regime to
prevent premature aging of your skin before it starts, rather
than having to 'fix' problems later.
If you think about it, why should you treat your skin any
different from some other valuable asset like your car? Why do
you get the car serviced? It is just because you want to spend
some money, or is it because you need it and do not want
expensive repair bills?
A proactive skin care approach is no different and investing in
the health of your skin is the same as investing in health
insurance, care maintenance, house insurance, etc. We brush our
teeth several time as day, why? - not because they have holes in
them, but we want to prevent the holes and avoid expensive trips
to the dentist...
We take our skin very much for granted and spend little time
thinking about it. Maybe because of the many Skin Cancer Ad
Campaigns, we will apply sunscreen lotion when going outside,
but beyond that, we don't seem to spend much time looking after
our skin.
Similarly, a proactive skin care approach takes the quality of
skin care products into consideration, however to often we buy
skin care by smell and how good the packaging looks. Neither of
which guarantees a quality product. On the
contrary, often the
expensive, good looking products contain artificial perfumes,
synthetic essential oils, chemical emollients, preservatives,
and many other ingredients that have been shown to be toxic if
used over a long period of time.
Natural Skin Care
Products are the only way to approach your skin care regime.
Natural products, not just natural ingredients that have been
added to an otherwise non-natural base, are a great way to take
a proactive step towards promoting and maintaining healthy skin.
In addition to taking a proactive skin care approach, you
should also consider doing the same with your diet. Foods that
can benefit the skin will also benefit other parts of your body
and promote healthy body tissues.
Similarly, exercise and other physical activity will promote
blood circulation to the outer layers of your skin, providing it
with nutrients and oxygen that will help in promoting the health
of your skin.
So, a proactive skin care approach while there is nothing wrong
with your skin is the best way to prevent problems from
occurring later on.
