General Skin Care Tips 15 - 21

15. Exfoliate to remove winter puffiness. Exfoliating your skin is a great way to remove the dead skin cells that can accumulate on the surface over time. You should consider adding an exfoliant to your beauty ritual twice a week, particularly in the winter when your skin tends to accumulate more toxins than in the summer. Do not over-exfoliate or you could risk removing fresh skin cells and wearing away at the important top level of your skin.

16. Drink hot water and lemon. Drinking a cup of hot water with a slice of lemon is a great way to help purify your body. When you use this trick once or twice a week  or even more frequently you will be cleansing your kidneys and your liver, which are the centers of the body where toxins accumulate the most. These toxins can actually cause blemishes and other skin problems.

17. Get more sleep for beautiful skin. If you want to have more radiant skin, you may simply need to sleep a little longer each night. Sleep is the process whereby your body creates new cells. If you do not sleep enough, your body is missing out on valuable oxygen, which can lead to skin problems and increased signs of skin aging. Just a few minutes extra each night can make all the difference when it comes to your skin.

18. Try Rosehip Seed Oil to reduce the effects of scarring. Whether you want to diminish scarring left over from teen-age acne or some other injury to your skin, Rosehip Seed Oil is a gentle extract which is known for its ability to reduce scare tissue. You should be able to find this extract online, or in a health food store in your area. To learn more about Rosehip Seed Oil, talk to your dermatologist.

19. Consider Laser Resurfacing as a last resort. If you are bothered by embarrassing scar tissue, you might want to speak to your dermatologist about laser skin resurfacing. While the process can be costly, it is one of the few techniques known to actually remove the top level of your skin so that new skin can grow in its place. If you have a dark skin color, be aware that laser resurfacing can cause uneven coloration and that you should ask your dermatologist about other options before considering the procedure.

20. Consider Dermabrasion to remove scar tissue. Dermabrasion is a technique where a dermatologist literally sands away the top level of your skin in an area, in order to force the growth of new skin. The technique is popular for scar removal.

21. Adopt a Facial Fitness Routine. If you want to avoid a facelift, the next best thing may be as close as the tip of your nose. Using isometric exercises, you can actually firm up your facial muscles and with time begin to firm up the skin around those muscles. Talk to your dermatologist for specific recommendations, and get started right away!
