By Jemima Browne


Everyone has seen the impossibly perfect skin on the cover of magazines. Of course, genetics plays a big role in the condition of anyone's skin. Realistically, there not a lot we can do to change our genetic makeup in order to have Hollywood-perfect skin. Nevertheless, we do have a major amount of control over the health and beauty of our skin, no matter what our genetics are. Two things that you obviously have control over are your dietary intake and how much water you consume. But, did you know that the amount of sleep you get can also have a beneficial effect on your skin? Therefore, whatever else you are doing to take care of your health and your skin, make sure you get enough quality sleep each night.

For countless years, there are people who have been challenged and frustrated with their oily skin. Many folks just struggle along and try to cope with the problem in their own way. Give yourself a helping hand instead of just proceed blindly trying to fix this problem. For starters, if your skin is excessively oily - and you get acne or pimples - find a good natural soap and gently wash your face twice a day. This twice-a-day washing habit can be the beginning of a simple daily care regimen. If you want to prevent your pores from getting clogged, keep you hands away from your face and, whatever you don, don't rub your skin, Eating a healthy diet and drinking adequate amounts of water on a daily basis are two more good habits to adopt for healthy skin. At this point in time we are all aware that water is great for helping us lose weight. When you consider that the companies that rebottle water are just selling water, it becomes mind-boggling at the immense size of this industry. We can't argue with that concept, because adequate water intake is also considerably beneficial to your skin as well and in many ways. In the first instance, if you want all of your body's trillions of cells to be healthy, which applies to the cells of your skin, you will make sure you drink enough water every day. Secondly, it helps keep your body detoxified, which is very important. Flushing out toxins from the liver will enable your liver to detoxify your body. So, it's important that you drink enough water and you will see the remarkable changes in your skin. Water can be fatally toxic, though, so drink sensible amounts.

Keeping the pores of your skin clean and free of dirt and debris is important for both sexes. It isn't just something that women need to do. One very beneficial thing you can do is the simple steam treatment. A good steam treatment each week - which you can easily do by yourself at home - is all that is necessary. To prepare your face for the steaming, and aid the steam in doing its job, simply cleanse it as you normally do. When you are doing the actual steam, it is best to keep it under fifteen minutes. If you'd like, you can follow the lead of a lot of people who add a few drops of their favorite essential oil to the water. This enhances the benefits of the steam and the aroma is delightful.

Some brands of makeup sell a powder that is supposed to help with oily skin. If you buy something like this, test it sparingly on your skin to see what happens. The premise of this powder product is to absorb the extra oil on your skin. Be very careful when you use these powders so you don't use too much. There are several reasons for this. It's very easy for the resulting oily powder to clog your pores. You can even use these products when you aren't home because they have been put into portable compacts or small containers that you can take with you anywhere. This makes it pretty clear that this is just a temporary cover up of the problem. These powders don't really do anything to reverse your oily skin. All they are doing is masking the symptoms.

Your skin care regimen can be very effective by just using your common sense and adhering to some basic guidelines. These measures include a holistic approach with healthy eating, exercise, good sleep, and staying hydrated. Good, fresh, pure water is the best fluid you can drink to keep your body properly hydrated. Here's a tip to help you keep your body hydrated: when you feel thirst, you've already waited too long between drinks of water. It may sound silly to even mention this fact, however, the whole point is to not let yourself become thirsty in the first place by drinking water regularly during the day.
