Maintaining a healthy body and lifestyle is the first and most important step toward beautiful skin. Positive attitude, healthy diet, and serious regular exercise are fundamentally important. Stress control, adequate sleep, and avoiding harmful habits such as smoking or excessive alcohol are essential. See your doctor and dentist regularly, and follow their advice. Beyond these basics, healthy skin care for most people consists of at least twice daily thorough cleansing and sun protection . Depending on your environment, activity level, and how oily your skin is, more frequent cleansing and/or the addition of products for acne prevention and treatment may be indicated. For areas of dry skin, moisturizers are useful. If your skin is losing its elasticity, developing fine wrinkles and/or pigment spots, anti-aging formulas should be added to your regimen.
