Skin is the largest organ of your body. Skin is the body's first line of defense. It is responsible for eliminating more cellular waste than the kidney or the intestine. It is the largest immune barrier protecting your body. It is crucial to take good care of your skin. Some of the factors that can negatively affect the condition of the skin are sun, wind, airborne pollutants, free radicals and aging.

Step 1: Avoid exposing your skin to too much sun.

Overexposure lead to dryness of your skin and increase the incidence of skin cancer later in life. Wear hat, protective eyewear and apply sunscreen/sunblock. Dryness can also contribute to the breakdown of skin's elasticity, which can lead to wrinkles. Avoid exposure to harsh winter winds which have a very drying effect on skin and can lead to flaking and cracking. Airborn pollutants including tobacco smoke build up on the skin throughout the day. They can be irritating and damaging to the skin. They all can contribute to the appearance of premature aging.

Step 2: Avoid harsh products and over cleansing. Avoid synthetic personal care products.

Over cleansing with alkaline cleansers containing harsh ingredients can strip your skins' precious acid and oil mantel - leaving your skin vulnerable to chemicals, pollutants, bacteria & viruses. Synthetic cleansing detergents dry out your skin causing it to be malnourished and aged prematurely. They reduce your skin's capacity to deal with the damaging effect of dirt, dust, pollution, sun, drying wind. Synthetic cleansing detergents cause acne, dermatitis, itching, eczema, psoriasis & moles.

Step 3: Read the ingredient label of every personal care product

Avoid toxic ingredients like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Cocamide MEA, Cocamide DEA and 1,4-Dioxin(carcinogen, Formaldehyde, APE, DMDM Hydantoin, & Heavy Metal Salts. They may cause headache, dizziness, rashes, brown spots, violent coughing, vomiting, fatigue, allergy & cancer.
