The Largest Organ Of The Human Body Is The Skin. Keep It Healthy With These Tips.nnTo get healthy skin, you will have to take care of it from the outside and the inside. Just putting all of your attention on one part of it will not provide you with the results you want. There are a lot of things you can do to help your skin get healthier. This article has provided you with the best methods.nnIf you want beautiful skin, alpha-hydroxy treatments may be just the thing for you. Alpha-hydroxy acids can be found in various fruits, milks and wines. Alpha-hydroxy acids help break up the proteins that hold onto dead skin. Once the protein bonds break down, you can scrub away the dead skin to reveal the glowing, fresh skin underneath.nnAlways wear sunscreen of at least 15 SPF when you get out, no matter how cool it is outside. Sunscreen also helps prevent sunburn and wrinkles. Your skin will remain young and healthy if you protect it with sunscreen; otherwise, you will get wrinkles and your skin will age faster.nnRub apple cider vinegar on blemishes for a refreshing remedy. This pungent treatment can help restore moisture back into your skin and reduce the dryness that acne produces. Just be sure to use the method during the day rather than night, as the scent from the apple cider vinegar can get all over your sheets at nighttime.nnIf you see a drastic change in your skin or you have symptoms that have not gotten better, make sure to consult a doctor, specifically a dermatologist. Many do not realize the gravity of skin diseases, and will do more damage than good by attempting to treat themselves without the help of a trained professional.nnIt is always wise to cover your hands when you go outside in cold weather. Your skin there is very thin compared to other locales, meaning it will crack more easily and become irritated more often. Keeping your hands under wraps in gloves or mittens can go a long way toward keeping the skin on your hands healthy and moist.nnA simple way to determine your skin type is the "tissue test". Dab a tissue over different areas of your face. If you pick up oil on your cheeks, then you have oily skin. If you only pick up oil in the t-zone then you have combination skin. If you do not have any oil on the tissue, it is likely that you suffer from dry skin. Having this knowledge will let you know which skin care products you should be using.nnPomegranate pills are a great way to protect your skin from the sun. Pomegranate pills make the skin more resilient to the sun. Since this is a fruit extract, you don't have to worry about unpleasant side effects. All they will do is make your skin even healthier.nnLemon juice is a natural bleach. You can use lemon juice on your scars, blemishes and dark spots to help lighten them naturally. You must consistently apply the lemon juice in order to see results, but it's a great natural alternative.nnKeep your stress at a low level. Stress can cause an increase of adrenaline, DHEA and cortisol levels in your blood. The hormones in question will cause a lot of issues with your skin, such as eczema and psoriasis; or even be the cause of more common issues like acne. You skin reflects your mind and body's overall health; that is why a relaxed mind contributes greatly to having a glowing complexion.nnUse fabric softener when doing laundry. Your skin will react more positively to your clothes when they are softer. This is especially important if your home is in a dry climate.nnFoods containing Vitamin E are good. Vitamin E contains lots of antioxidants and can battle free radicals. Almonds, blueberries and papayas all contain a lot of Vitamin E. Vitamin E can also be found in many dark green, leafy vegetables.nnEven if you have an allergy to a skincare agent now, you may not have it forever. You can try to test a very small portion of a product with different formulation or concentration of the offending chemical; it's possible you'll find one that doesn't cause a reaction.nnA great trick is to freeze two metal spoons either in the freezer or in ice water. Put these spoons over your eyes for around 6 minutes. This is an excellent cure for puffy eyes. Some things that can cause puffy eyes are processed foods, lack of sleep, hormones or even heredity. If you cannot kill it at the cause, press a cold metal spoon to relieve the puffiness.nnIf you have psoriasis, consider using plant oils rich in nutrients to help your condition. Argan oil is quite popular. This oil helps prevent the red, scaly patches that you see when you have psoriasis.nnKeep in mind that allergies to skincare products did not necessarily exist when you were younger, and they won't necessarily exist as you get older. If you have tried something that gave you a reaction before, you can try it again by testing a small area of skin.nnGo to the spa with friends if several of you are worried about your skin. Spas can be relaxing and you can get dirt facials that get rid of dead skin and open up pores again. This can make your face really glow.nnWear SPF sunscreen whenever you go outside. This will protect your skin from the menacing sun. Sunguard Laundry Aid, which washes sun protection into clothes, will help to make your shirts more skin friendly. It gives t-shirts a UPF rating of 30, rather than a 5 for untreated t-shirts.nnIf you want your skin to look young and glowing, you need to protect it from the sun. The sun can cause freckles, wrinkles and damage your skin. Your sunscreen should have an SPF of at least 15 to ward off damage caused by the sun.nnDon't let poor skin care take over your skin, use the information you have obtained from this article and do whatever is necessary to make sure that you have properly cared for you skin at the end of every day. Happy skin leads to a happy mind and a happy body.
