There are several universal truths to improve your skin, regardless of your skin’s condition. The skin is our body’s largest organ. It protects us from our environment and often reflects the stresses–both internal and external–that are placed on our bodies. Here are ten simple tips for maximizing your skin’s health.

A multitude of skin woes are caused directly by the sun, and can make skin appear uneven and prematurely aged. If you do plan to enjoy the outdoors, wear a broad-spectrum SPF sunscreen, protective clothing, and try to avoid direct sun exposure between 10am – 2pm, when the sun’s rays are the strongest.

Smoking compromises circulation, and as the body’s largest organ, the skin needs all the oxygen-rich blood it can get.

Getting plenty of sleep, good nutrition, and reducing stress are important to your overall health, and your skin will benefit, too.

Understanding your unique skin type is important for finding the right products and meeting your skin’s needs. Not sure if you’re skin is dry, oily, or combination?  You can email or call our Skin Care Specialist at

Most people should wash their face and moisturize twice daily to maintain clean, balanced skin. Be sure to choose a gentle cleanser and moisturizer appropriate for your skin type and save the soap for below the neck, otherwise your face will get too dried out.

Drink 8–12 glasses of water every day. This is considered a minimum amount for good health and healthy skin. Opt for drinking natural spring water whenever possible. Spring water from a natural source is ideal for hydrating and cleansing the body.

Consider adding regular facials, masks, or massages to your skin care routine. You’ll reduce stress and improve your skin’s condition at the same time.

Be sure to throw out old makeup after six to eight months, and consider investing in a antibacterial spritzer to keep makeup brushes clean.

Both men and women should be sure to use a balanced shaving cream or gel and a clean, sharp razor every time they shave. Shaving in the direction of hair growth is the best way to avoid skin irritation.

Make sure to cleanse, moisturize, and care for the skin on your knees, hands, and elbows. Regularly examining your body for unusual pigmentation or moles is important to your skin’s health. Having beautiful, healthy skin doesn’t have to be hard.
