The Largest Organ in Your Body- Your Skin!

Your skin is more then just your face, although that’s what most people pay the most attention to. Your skin is actually the largest organ in your body and weighs probably more the you think. The skin of an average adult weighs 8-10 pounds and averages an area of 22 square feet.
What’s the secret to great skin? Not surprisingly, the state of our skin is affected by genes, nutrition, general health, emotional well-being and exercise. How you care for your skin play an important role in ensuring you look your best,
You’ve probably heard that skin is made up of skin cells. But you didn’t know that you have approximately 19 million skin cells on every square inch of skin!
Eat your veggies! Eating a wide range of vegetables– particularly those high in vitamins C and E (such as spinach, carrots, red bell peppers and tomatoes)- will ensure that your diet is rich in anti-oxidants, compounds that are believed to play an important roles in maintaining the health of both your body and your skin.
We’re all thin-skinned, in certain areas. The thickness of our skin varies considerably, depending on its location and the role it plays: Its thinnest on our eyelids and thickest on the palms of our hand and soles of feet.
Not sure of your skin type? Try this simple test. About 15 minutes after washing your face and patting it dry, press lens-cleaning paper on different part of you face. In those areas where you produce a lot of oil, the paper will stick or pick up oil. If it doesn’t anywhere, you have dry skin. If it only sticks on your forehead, nose and chin, you have normal or combination skin. If it sticks everywhere, you have oily skin.
Need to look after your skin? We specialize in skin care and will help you with a proper at home skin care, and also with treatments that will be most beneficial for you

Top 10 Tips for Achieving Youthful Skin

As the clock ticks, it's inevitable that our skin becomes more sensitive, dull and dry. Fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin start to freak us out each time we face the mirror. With that in thought, no doubt that an anti-aging skin care treatment is essential.
  1. Avoid sun exposure. The sun's rays can give you dark pigmentation and even skin cancer.
  2. Drink lots of water. Drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day also washes out the harmful toxins in the body, which can cause pre-mature skin aging.
  3. Eat healthy food. Gobble up fruits and veggies and fiber rich foods.
  4. Take vitamins. They can protect your skin from harsh free radicals that can ultimately damaged cells and diseases.
  5. Work out. Exercising 3 times a week will guarantee a healthier and more toned skin.
  6. Choose the right skin care products.
  7. Get more sleep. Depriving yourself of sleep can make you look old and can cause those horrible dark circles. Plus, your skin regenerates best while you sleep.
  8. Quit smoking.
  9. Wear less make up. Use mineral based makeup. Wash your face before going to sleep.
  10. Smile more :) Smiling puts and instant blush on your face. It does take more muscles to frown then smile, so smiling is effortless.
