Active women’s facial skin has a tendency of less healthy skin. Active women have a very intensive activity and high mobility. Quite often, forget to take care of her skin, though, they are required to show excellence every time. Imagine when you are in a hurry to go to a meeting, standing under the sun that was there just above your head, on the sidewalk, no cabs would stop for you, plus, there is a bus directly in the exhaust pipe blowing smoke front of you. Imagine how much that stresses you? That is not how stress than your skin, as a veil of protection, especially from your body. He gained a double exposure. From the outside, due to environmental conditions, plus your mind is chaotic and stressful, both for the mind, also for the skin.
Women who are living in urban area are highly vulnerable to pollution exposure, and so with her skin. It is very difficult to prevent the skin not to be exposed by pollutants. The pollutants can create problems on the skin. Starting from motor vehicle fumes, industrial smoke, and cigarette smoke, even though the rain water already contains pollutants that can damage the skin layers. One effect of the skin that is too often exposed to pollution is early aging. It is recommended that women do not forget to perform four basic skin cares every day to slow aging of the skin:
1. Cleansing
Cleansing the skin should be done 2-3 times a day not more than that so as not to create a dry or irritated skin. If it is possible, look for facial skin cleanser that contains antioxidants to help increase and reduce the impact of free radicals on the skin.
2. Toner
Skin care products that often pass up by the women is the use of toner. Many women say that toner is not too important because it can make skin dry. In fact, toner usage is needed to restore skin ph level to normal numbers after time off due to cleaning of facial skin using soap or other.
3. Moisturizers
There are some people who refuse to use a moisturizer with reason because her skin is oily, then added another moisturizer will add gloss or close the pores. Though, in fact you can choose moisturizers that are specially designed. For example, a moisturizer with more water content so as not to gloss or to close the pores. Because, basically, pollution makes the skin dry, making no visible cavities in the skin. Imagine a barren and dry land; there will be cracks here and there. It is just similar with the skin in dry conditions. It would be more susceptible to skin disease if exposed to dry conditions like that, because it will be more and more bacteria into tissue in the skin.
4. Protection
It is mandatory to use skin protection every time you go out. Nowadays, the sun will give even more menacing effect on the skin. It would be better if you protect your skin, which is an asset, by applying sun block every time the daily activity. Because, even though you are indoors, UVA and UVB rays that can damage the skin can still go in and break through your defenses. Even the lights in the room is also has the ability to damage the skin. For you who are work indoors, simply use the SPF 15 as to who are have the activity outdoors, use SPF 30-50. Please note the size of the SPF is a measure for UVA protection.
