Pack Healthy

Outdoor sports such as hiking, skiing or work that requires one to be outside for a long time, cam wreck havoc on one’s skin. For those who love the outdoors it is especially important to nourish your skin by maintaining a healthy diet, taking a daily vitamin and some supplements, and always putting on sunscreen. Most dermatologists and doctors advise that when putting on sunscreen, the SPF level should be at least 45 and that sunscreen should be reapplied several times during the day. Because one is exposed to the sun all day when hiking, it is advisable to stay in the shade when you can and to keep in mind that the sun’s rays are strongest between 10 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon.

Shorter and Warm Showers and Drinking Water

In addition, for those who hike, ski or work outside in cool or hot temperatures, when coming inside after from being outside all day, your skin will be refreshed if you take shorter showers or baths and keep the water tepid and not hot. Warm showers, verses hot showers will help to keep more moisture in your skin. Drinking water and keeping the inside heating or cooling temperatures moderate, will also keep your body—inside and out—moist and healthy.

Good Nutrition Shows!

Good nutrition such as fresh fruits and vegetables will also keep your skin moist and by taking regular breaks throughout the day and drinking plenty of water, you will keep your skin younger looking and in good shape. Some physicians also recommend skin supplements for some of their patients; however, before taking any supplements, it is advisable to consult with your doctor first. Skin supplements are usually recommended if a person doesn’t consume foods that are nourishing. In addition, for those who have skin damage due to over exposure to the sun and wind, some doctors recommend using a skin ointment and a skin supplement. This combination helps to reverse skin damage. For more ways to look young and healthy, try natural anti wrinkle products.
