Healthy Skin Care Tips and Tricks

Drink Plenty of Water!

You know you have heard it before, but it is true, a well hydrated body looks and feels better. The skin is our largest organ on the human body, and we are made up mostly of water, so it stands to reason that when we drink enough water our skin is happy.

Protect Your Skin From the Sun!

Ultra-violet light damages the skin, causing wrinkles, liver spots, dry, rough skin and even more serious conditions, such as benign or cancerous tumors. The suns rays are most intense between the hours of 10:00am and 4:00pm, so try to minimize the amount of time that you spend in the sun during these hours. Where protective clothing such as long sleeve shirts and pants, and a hat with a wide brim to protect your face. Use sunscreen and don't forget to reapply it every two hours or after swimming or heavy sweating.

Treat Your Skin Gently

Don't scrub your skin. Over-washing and/or scrubbing your skin can cause your skin to become over-irritated and dry. Wash your skin twice a day with warm (not hot!) water and a mild soap, such as one our all natural face cleansers . Jamila Naturals' face cleansers are a unique blend of natural ingredients that cleanse and moisturize your skin at the same time.

Moisturize Your Skin

Hydrating your skin is an important step in keeping your skin young and healthy. Moisturizers help maintain your skin's natural moisture level by providing a seal over your skin. The moisturizer that's best for your skin depends on many factors, including skin type (oily, dry, normal), age and specific skin conditions, such as acne or excema.
