There’s More To Your Skin Than Your Face

Skin care products for your face are available in their hundreds if not thousands. You find them advertised throughout magazines and on television several times a day. You can buy relatively inexpensive ones, or spend astronomical amounts in department stores and specialty stores everywhere.

What’s amazing is that all the focus goes to the face and not to the rest of your body. The dermis, your skin, covers your entire human structure. Your skin is a shield, helping to contain your internal body parts and protect them from any threat such as injury or infection. With age, the skin, or dermis, becomes less elastic and thinner. Elderly people are susceptible to skin tears from the slightest injury.

It is important to maintain your dermis all over your body with some simple skin care methodologies to keep it healthy, strong and supple. This includes regular bathing to eliminate excess oils, dirt and microscopic parasites and spores. Most commercial soaps and cleansers contain some sort of antibacterial agents to help eliminate topical bacteria.

In order to prevent a film of cleanser or soap forming on your skin, it is important to rinse properly so your skin can breathe. Drying yourself properly with a soft towel is important too, but don’t rub too vigorously.

If you plan on being out in the sunshine, you need to protect all of your skin, not just the skin on your face. UVA and UVB rays can cause cancer, as well as premature wrinkles and ageing of the dermis. If your plans include water sports or activities, make sure the sunscreen you use is waterproof and re-apply as recommended on the label. Most experts agree that any sun screening product with an SPF over 50 is a waste of your money. People of color and those with olive skin tones should also wear sunscreen. In essence, any tan that you may have means that you have exposed your skin to the damaging sun, as a tan indicates more melanin in the upper layers of the dermis.

Your dermis needs regular moisturizing to keep it smooth and supple, just like leather needs to be oiled regularly. You do not need to spend hundreds though, as good moisturizing creams and lotions can be found at most drug stores or department stores. Moisturizing regularly helps to prevent itching, dryness and even chapped skin. Areas that you shave such as your legs tend to dry out very quickly, so pay particular attention to those areas. Incorporate the rest of your body into your daily skin care routine of cleansing and moisturizing for a healthier lifestyle.
