Before starting my article I will like to say a few words about health.

"Every human being is the author of his own health or disease."
"He, who has health, has hope. And he, who has hope, has everything."
"It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver."

Taking proper care of your skin is very important if you wish to benefit from a healthy skin which will not only contribute to your natural beauty but it will also help you feel much more comfortable in your own skin. People don't usually pay as much attention to their skin as they should and this is definitely not good.

The world has evolved greatly during the past few years and pollution, global warming, are only a few of the external factors which the skin is exposed to on a daily basis, factors which can leave a negative print over time. Learning how to protect the skin can only be beneficial as there is nothing that can compare to the beauty of the skin. There are a variety of skin care tips which are meant to help you prevent premature aging skin, certain skin problems and wrinkles.

In order for your skin to radiate beauty and maintain its health try to follow these skin care tips as best as possible:

• 
  Whether summer or winter, your skin needs to be nourished in order to maintain its elasticity and this couldn't be done easier. There are a variety of skin care products available on the market that contain skin nourishing ingredients. If you are all about naturalness you can try organic skin care products which do not contain any chemicals and which are increasing in popularity substantially.
  
• 
  Water plays a very important role when it comes to beauty and health and drinking as much water as you can on a daily basis can only be beneficial for you and your body. The skin needs water to maintain its elasticity and hydration so drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day is a must if you wish to avoid becoming dehydrated. Dry skin is not sexy but healthy, nourished and well hydrated skin is, so try to take into account the importance of drinking water.
  
• 
  Do protect your skin whenever it is exposed to the sun's rays as they can be very harmful for the skin. Tanned skin looks hot but not protecting the skin against the ultraviolet rays given off by the sun is not as they can cause sunburns, wrinkles, premature aged skin as well as skin cancer. Sunscreens and sunblocks have been especially designed to protect the skin from the UVA and UVB rays. These products have different SPF protection factor levels just so people can benefit from the best protection for their skin.
  
• 
  Make sure to avoid exposing your skin to the sun when the suns rays are most powerful and this is around noon. Specialists say that around 11am and 4 pm the suns UV rays are most powerful and pose the highest amount of threat for the skin. Try to cover your skin with long sleeve shirts and pants, wear sunglasses and hats if you must go out in the sun on the hot summer days.
  
• 
  Eat healthy as the body needs essential vitamins to function at its best. The skin as well needs to benefit from certain vitamins which you can only get from eating healthy foods or vitamin supplements. Pay attention to what you eat and you will feel a difference on multiple levels.
  

Your skin is like your calling card so pay attention to its needs if you wish people to observe your natural beauty and interest for your health.
