The
skin is the largest organ in the human body therefore, proper care should be
taken to maintain a healthy state at all times. Good skin care is not only a
matter of how we feel and how we appear but also an important aspect of our
whole being. The appearance of our skin is a reflection of the conditions of
the other organs in the body. It’s important for you to know and understand your
skin type; so you can take good care of it. Some people have very oily skin,
others have dry and sensitive skin, others a combination of oily and dry, and
then others have normal skin (they are the fortunate ones). In this article I
will discuss the basics of good skin care and the benefits that come with it.
Nutrition
The foods you take in determine the healthy status of your skin and body. You should always keep in mind; what we consume as food either protects or destroys your body, including your skin. Having a good nutritional diet plays a major role in keeping your skin healthier and young. Vegetables and fruits are a good source of vitamins that can help your skin. Foods rich in vitamin C and E provide protection from the damage of the free radicals from the sun. Vitamin A enhances the repair of the skin tissue.
