CONSIDER USING BAKING SODA
Baking soda is great for skin care
purposes. Baking soda mixed with water
forms a substance that can be used
to moisturize dry skin or to draw out dirt
and bacteria from pores. Also, you can reduce
some of the gunk on your scalp with
this formula.

PROTECT YOUR SKIN
FROM UVB RAYS
Every time you go outside, be sure to protect
your skin. Apply a sunscreen with
UVB ray protection about half an hour before
going out in the sun. Pick the correct
SPF for the area in which you live.
Sunscreen with higher SPF levels are more
desirable. Wearing sunscreen will help
avoid sunburns and premature wrinkles.
Sunscreen should be applied to the face
with a sponge applicator. Using a sponge
allows it to get into your skin deeper, making
it work a lot better. This method is also
helpful in getting rid of that sticky feeling
that is often left when you put too much
sunscreen on your face.

KEEP YOURSELF HYDRATED
Healthy skin starts with drinking the
proper amount of water. Beauty starts inside,
and being hydrated is important for
the health of your skin as well as your skin’s
appearance. The softness and elasticity of
skin are maintained with proper hydration.
The amount of water a person needs to
drink can change with body weight and activity
level; however, the eight glasses a
day rule is a good start.
