Love the Skin you are In!!!

Your Skin is the most versatile organ in your body. Without the skin, we would not have any protection against the harmful ultra - violet radiation, injuries and germs invading from outside. Our sense of touch would not work without it.

The skin reacts to the outside stimuli and becomes red, brown or even gets goose pimples.

Now, especially in summers, our skin is often exposed to ultra - violet radiation, that can damage it. A pigment called Melanin is produced in the skin to protect against the harmful radiation from the sun.

The more the melanin produced the darker or “tanner” the skin can get. Developing a sun tan is the skin’s mechanism of protecting itself from the ultra - violet rays. Over exposure to these rays, tend to cause your skin to age more quickly, get dry, wrinkled and freckled over time. It weakens the immune system and raises your risk for developing skin cancer.

As the adage goes “Prevention is better than cure”- one can avoid excessive exposure by wearing scarves, long-sleeved clothes, sunglasses. Also wear a sun block lotion 20 min before you get out. Do exfoliate your skin on a regular basis.

One can also use natural remedies to get away with that horrid sun tan.

The use of fresh coconut water is simple, yet effective for suntan.

The usage of citrus fruits is very effective, as they contain ascorbic acid, which is an anti-oxidant.

Yogurt contains lactic acid that lightens the tan.

Apply aloevera gel daily on your skin, for nourishment.

Do drink adequate water throughout the day to rejuvenate your skin.

Regular exercise improves your blood circulation and gives your skin a radiant glow.

So folks go ahead and pamper your skin!!!!!!
