Skin Is Our Protector

As we shower or bathe, we scrub, wash, lather and soak our bodies to cleanse ourselves. We use shampoos, conditioners, body washes and body scrubs to help us get clean. However, many of us forget the most important part of our bodies. The part that is exposed to smoke, pollution, car fumes, dirt, dust and many other toxins the most on a daily basis. This part of the body is the most sensitive yet protects us against many things. It is the part that can either make us or break us by showing all types of emotions like anger, frustration, happiness and relaxed. We fall in love with someone else due to this body part and it is one of the most essential parts of us.

Which part of the body could this be, you ask? The face is the most precious part of the body that we tend to be self-conscious about; whether it is that one pimple that appears when you are about to go on a date or that dark spot that you did not notice until yesterday. Any impurities that we may come across can make us feel self-conscious.

To take better care of our skin, it is vital to pay attention to it. Our skin produces new skin cells every night and therefore cleansing it on a daily basis is crucial. The same way that you would brush your teeth, you should be cleansing your face. In addition to a cleanser, you will need to use a toner and a moisturizer. A toner is used to balance the pH levels in the skin to prep it for moisturizers. A moisturizer is always needed; even if you have oily skin. Finding the moisturizer that is right for you is necessary. Having a skin care regimen is the answer to having flawless skin. Drinking water is also a big part of helping your skin be the beautiful, plumped skin that it can be.

To achieve the great skin that you want and deserve, it is sometimes best to get the opinion of a specialist. Usually in department stores, your favorite makeup counter, or some drug stores, they will have professionals that can assist you in determining what skin type you have and any impurities that you may have. Stay hydrated and stay beautiful inside and out.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
