Everything About Beautiful Skin

Everyone wants to have a beautiful skin. Here are some simple beauty tips for you. Follow them and you will be on your way to having a beautiful skin:

1. Cut on alcohol. Maybe 50 gm of red wine won’t harm your skin but everything else will most likely will. Alcohol dilates capillaries. If you consume alcohol excessively your blood vessels may stay dilated permanently. Conditions such as acne and rosacea will worsen. Alcohol depletes vitamin A in our body, that is a power anti-oxidant. Alcohol consumption dehydrates our body and our skin. Make sure to at least drink more water if you are drinking alcohol. If you had a big night out – make sure you take all your make up off before you go to bed. Exfoliate your skin in the morning, put some moisturising mask on and couple of thin slices of cucumber on your eyes.

2. Stop smoking. This tip is always on a list of the beauty tips. If you haven’t done so – you better do it as soon as possible. Your skin is becoming thinner and thinner, drier and wrinkles will appear earlier than if you didn’t smoke. If you have already wrinkles – they will worsen. It is not good for the skin colour either – your skin become yellowish-gray, it loses healthy glow. Smoking also uses up vitamin C in our body (about 35 mg for each cigarette). Vitamin C is one of the vitamins that responsible for making your skin look beautiful. Passive smoking (being in the environment where someone is smoking) has similar effect as active smoking.

3. Don’t stress. I know easier to be said than done. But you should always try to relax and stress as little as possible. Practice meditation and yoga (good for your body as well). Excessive oiliness or dryness, dull skin, appearance of wrinkles – all these are the result of the stress. Try a few very deep breaths if you are stressing out. Often when we are stressed our breath is very shallow and our brain just doesn’t get enough oxygen, therefore often we can’t make any good decisions while we are stressed.

There are some amazing facts about skin out there.

First of all - do you often think of your skin as simply a protective layer? Well it is! We would not look near attractive without our skin

So here are other interesting facts about skin:

It is the largest organ of our body - it weights about 4 kg (8.8 pounds).

Skin cells of the epidermis (outer layer) are growing from the bottom upwards and dead cells are shed from the surface. This process takes about 30 days to complete (for newborns it is only 72 hours).

We shed about 40 kg (88 pounds) of skin during our life.

Skin is thickest on our palms and soles (about 3mm) and thinnest around eyes and on our lips (less than 0.5 mm).

Nails and hair are a type of modified skin.

There was no white skin around 20,000-50,000 years ago. It happened when dark-skinned humans migrated to colder climates and lost most of their melanin pigment.
