Your skin may be one of your most valuable assets or a costly liability. It all depends on how you approach it.

These days, we hear a great deal about skin care, skin care for working men, anti-aging skin care, anti-wrinkle creams, etc. But what exactly is skin care?

Obviously, skincare comprises Skin and Care, but let's examine the precise meaning of this phrase. Anything that is cared about properly will preserve its worth, as well as its appearance, durability, and functionality.

Perhaps we might consider skin care in terms of "skin maintenance," since there are several aspects that contribute to effective skin care. Consider that your skin is engaged in both the absorption and removal of substances; does it not follow that the healthier your skin is, the more effective it will perform both functions?

Most people believe that skin care consists of keeping the skin clean and, if it becomes dry, using a moisturizer. In no way does this constitute skin care or the preservation of skin function.

Exfoliation, washing, toning, and moisturizing information is widely accessible, and men and women of all ages should adhere to these fundamental skin care principles. However, as we age, the kind of maintenance required changes, and the skin care regimen that was appropriate in our 20s is no longer applicable in our 30s, 40s, and beyond.

Your skin is an important asset. If you treat it correctly, you will enjoy the benefits; if you treat it poorly, it might kill you!

In the field of medicine, skin cancer is an increasing problem. As the Ozone layer is subject to ever-increasing pressure and is certainly depleting in some regions of the world, UV radiation is reaching the Earth's surface in higher concentration, which not only has a negative impact on our climate and ecosystems but also has a direct impact on each of us.

It has been shown that UV radiation cause skin cancer. Sunburn is increasingly recognized as a primary cause of skin cancer, and preventing it requires more than just avoiding the sun.

Maintaining a proper skin care routine is now more essential than ever, and it comprises many essential components.: 1. Eating a well-balanced, nutritious diet consisting of fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, grains, and, if you want high-quality meat, is essential for providing your skin with the nutrients it needs to perform at its peak. 2. Water - you cannot underestimate the importance of hydration to the body. According to medical studies, your body needs at least 2 to 3 liters of water every day to operate properly.

Chronic dehydration may manifest with little or no symptoms. If you are physically active, you must consume even more than 3 liters of water every day. 3. Exercise – You do not need to be a 'Gym-Junky,' but being unfit will have consequences that you will not appreciate; go for a walk 3-4 times a week; use the stairs instead of the elevator; park the car further away from the office or the shops; join a walking club; ride a bike; play tennis, golf, or another sport that gets your body moving – you don't have to be an Olympic champion, but get moving and have fun.

The maintenance of your skin requires one last consideration: should you utilize natural skin care products, or will any product suffice?

The answer is NATURAL, as expected. Consider this: while purchasing food, do you check for labels such as "no artificial coloring," "no artificial flavors," "no genetically modified organisms," etc., or do you not care?

What about your beverages, do you not seek those that are 100 percent natural, low in sodium, free of artificial ingredients, sugar-free, etc.? Of course, you do. Well, your skin absorbs nutrients regardless of whether they are natural or not; it will absorb these substances into the tissue and then use them if it can. Natural compounds are far more readily digested and removed from the body after they have fulfilled their roles.

Therefore, the option is yours, whether the asset is natural or not; it is up to you to decide whether to invest in the asset or withdraw from it.
