The best way to help protect your skin is to simply stay away from these common irritants. Carefully select your cleaning products and detergents to help limit exposure. Be conscientious of everything that comes into contact with your skin. If you get a reaction, you’ll know what you need to avoid in the future. Wearing moisturizer can also help, and so can cleansing your skin morning and night with the right cleanser for your skin type (Ask me what cleanser you should use if you aren 't sure).
So what to do? It’s easy, really. You can avoid exposing your skin to the sun. There are some great options when it comes to protective clothing. A big, fabulous hat with a 2–3 inch brim is ideal, and so are sunglasses. It’s always best to avoid the sun in the middle of the day, as this is when the sun’s rays are the strongest and can cause the most skin damage. Always wear your daily SPF moisturizer with at least SPF 30.

When you smoke, the living layers of your skin are less apt to receive proper amounts of oxygen and nutrients that are required to stay healthy. And then, you guessed it, here come the wrinkles. Smoking also can prevent your skin from snapping back into shape due to the thickening of elastin fibers. The more you smoke, the greater the damage to your skin. For the sake of maintaining a more youthful appearance, and most importantly, for the sake of keeping your lungs strong and healthy, put down those cigarettes at all costs. There are so many things out there in the big, wide world that are common contributors to skin damage. Be conscientious of everything you put in an don your body to ensure you are doing your absolute best to take care of it. Skin will age naturally and there's no reason to help speed up that process. Let's do our best to avoid those things than can cause skin damage, so we can age well.
