Moisturizing the skin helps keep it soft, smooth, relaxed and healthy. When skin is dry it is easily irritated and can feel tight and itchy. Dryness also aggravates skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and acne.
Chose a moisturizer without major irritants like fragrances, alcohol, lanolin, dye or propylene glycol, so ski won't be aggravated. The skin is an organ of elimination. Healthy skin needs to breathe and pores need to eliminate sweat, toxins and oils in order for our body to stay healthy. Depending on your skin type, you should use a moisturizer that will hydrate your skin without sealing it and blocking pores. Hyaluronic Acid moisturizers keep it healthy while reducing dryness and offers an excellent environment for healing damaged skin.
Sun protection is another important element in keeping skin healthy. Everyone needs a daily dose of Vitamin D, but keep in mind that the sun is responsible for 80% of the effects of aging. Although darker skins have some built in protection, they will see an increase in skin tags, pigmentation and dehydration with continued unprotected sun exposure. Remember to wear an SPF sunscreen of 15 or more every day, all year round. When you're in hot climates or direct sun, wear sunglasses (sun can cause long term damage to eyes) and a hat with a brim that will shade the delicate skin on the ears.
