Healthy skin is really one of the most important ingredients for beauty-enhancement. This article on skin care tips is an effort to bring the 10 best skin care tips to you.
The list of skin care tips has been restricted to 10 because anything more that than would not only be difficult to remember, but also shadow the more important skin care tips.
So let’s see what these top ten skin care tips are:

1. Know Your Skin Type
Knowing your skin type is one of the most important skin care tips. This is important because not every skin care product suits everyone. In fact, all the skin care products specify the type of skin they cater to.
2. Drink Plenty of Water
This will help in the overall upkeep of your health (and in turn your skin). You should aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day. It might seem a bit difficult to some, however, this is an important skin care tip.
3. Cleanse Your Skin Regularly
You should cleanse your skin at least once a day. A very effective skin care tip that helps in getting rid of the dirt and other harsh elements from your skin.
Cleansing is especially important when you have been out of your house (and hence exposed to pollutants, dust etc).
This skin care tip also advocates the use of luke warm water for cleansing (hot and cold water, both, can cause damage to your skin)
4. Be Gentle
Don’t scrub/exfoliate too hard or too often. Similarly, don’t apply too much or too many skin care products. This is a must follow skin care tip.
5. Keep Your Skin Moist at All Times
This is one of the most important skin care tips. Don’t let your skin get dry. Dryness causes the outer layer of your skin to break, leading to a rough and unattractive appearance.
Use moisturizers/emollients. Moisturizers work best when applied while the skin is still damp.
6. Avoid the Use of Soap on Your Face
Soap should only be used from below the neck. A small but important skin care tip.
7. Use Sunscreen
It is important to protect yourself from sun’s harmful UV radiations. You can use day-time moisturizers that have sunscreen built into them.
Use them even when it’s cloudy. UV radiations are known to cause skin cancer, so follow this skin care tip without fail.
8. Get Enough Exercise and Sleep
A bit of exercise and good sleep are essential too, not just for skin care but for your health as a whole.
Lack of sleep can lead to formation of wrinkles below your eyes and lack of exercise can cause your skin to slack.
Moreover, exercise and sleep also help in beating stress. So besides being a skin care tip, this is also a health care tip.
9. Treat Skin Dilemmas with Care
This skin care tip is about not ignoring any skin dilemmas. If needed consult a dermatologist before you go on to use a skin care product (lest you end up harming your skin even more).
10. Learn to Manage Stress
The harmful effects of stress are known to everyone, however, sometimes stating the obvious is essential too (and hence this skin care tip found its place here).
Yes, stress harms skin too. So, take a break or indulge in a warm bubble bath or just get good sleep.
