Skin Care Tip: Sometimes skin care simplicity pays off

I'm in my mid 40's and have skin that looks younger, I'm told. My approach to keeping my skin young and healthy looking is simple. I drink as much water as I can everyday, well, at least six big glasses of water. I don't wear makeup on a daily basis, I do apply make up only when I go out in the evening, so, twice a month. I think make up is wonderful, but it is not so great for your skin's health. I wash and moisturize every evening before bed. I wash with cetafil and moisturize with either cetafil or nuetrogena. In the daytime I apply a moisturizer with SPF 15-30. I usually use neutrogena with SPF. When my skin gets weather affected or seasonally affected and looks a little worn out, I use a micro-bead derma abrasion applied with my fingertips to scrape off some of the dead cells. I only do that a few times a week, it can be harsh. I always moisturize right after any abrasive treatment.

That's all I do for my skin, it's simple and inexpensive, with great results: fresh, young healthy looking and feeling skin. It is cost and time efficient.
