It is very easy to find yourself neglecting your skin, or certain areas of it over time but it is important to remember just how vital skincare can be to maintaining a healthy body. After all, you skin is the largest organ of the body and it does a huge amount to keep the rest of you in good working order.
But busy lives can lead us to start cutting corners or into the trap of not looking after our skin effectively. It is very easy to find yourself in the position of only really worrying about the areas of skin that are most exposed to the elements and to the world. And while it is normal to pay the most attention to keeping your face clean and healthy, it is important not to neglect the rest of your body in the process.
When it comes to looking after your face, you want to think about the type of skin that you have and then about finding the right skincare product to keep you at your best. So if you have dry skin then you want to pick up a quality moisturizer and apply regularly. While if you are suffering with oily skin then you should consider more regular use of a full face cleanser. Or if you have generally dry skin but with areas of oiliness then there are astringent products designed to treat those areas but you’ll still want to regularly moisturise the rest of your face.
But while our faces are always likely to be at the centre of our skincare considerations, it really is very important to remember to look after the rest of your body as well. So using natural soaps, body care washes and bath creams can make a world of difference to the health and vitality of our skin. Exfoliating regularly can be crucial as well and it is all about looking after your skin so it can look after you.

Ha! My skin has had 64 years of pretty much non-care. So far, so good.

Proper hygiene is very important and also being aware of harmful substances that affects your body.
I couldn’t agree more! You are so right about how important it is for us to take care of our skin. My children have a very sensitive skin, espcially my daughter. I use selected skin care products for them and Nivea is one of them. I also put sun skin protection every time i take them outdoor for they get sunburn easily. Anyways thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I think our skin, which really protects our body should be well taken care of, and I agree people should not only focus on their faces. I think one of the best thing to do is to always put sunscreen and avoid extreme sun exposure… and be sure not to use too much chemicals for skin enhancement. I think the less products (except for sunscreen) and more focus on hygiene is still the best skin regimen
i miss my regimen back home. I used to use Olay body wash to keep my skin moisturized. and even their anti-aging creme. I can’t find those here that’s why when i look at my skin i get depressed. they’re not like the wya they used to be.

My skin is normal to dry so a moisturizer is essential for taking care of my skin.
I couldn’t agree more. We have to give our body the care that it needs. It is one way of showing love to ourselves.

I am a highly atopic person and sensitive to bites. But I have gotten used to it and just put on an ointment and forget about it. My skin regimen is simple, lots of water and sunscreen and no makeup
