Protecting your skin from the elements is an uphill challenge

Todays blog is about Protecting your skin from the elements

We are going to be looking at  Protecting your skin from the elements which is different for people who live in the city to people who live in the country side.
We all know that towns are dirty, so if you live in a town  your skin will be dirty, too. And, if you live in the countryside, it will be cleaner Right? But it’s not that simple to categorise your skin.
Living or working in the countryside!
If you live in the countryside, it’s important to take care of your face. most people  don’t want a weather warm looking face. But when your skin is open to elements regularly like prolonged periods out in the wind, rain and sun you will be traumatizing  the delicate skin on your face any further by irritating it with peels or harsh products.
Be kind to your face, apply moisturiser, lip balm and cream with SPF 15 or above. Eat lots of creamy food containing Vitamin E, such as avocado, or high-carotenoid foods such as tomatoes or salmon.
Don’t forget to look after your hands as you will get chapped, cracked skin that will also come with working and living in an outdoor environment. Cracked skin on your fingers can be painful and make tiny actions, such as closing a zip, very nasty. Remember to wear gloves – for gardening, skiing, cycling, running and washing-up – and keep a tube of hand cream beside the sink in your home, so you are prompted to rehydrate your hands each time you wash them.
Living or working in the city!
It isn’t only people who live in the country side that have skin  problems. Cities can be full  of pollution but by  regularly using exfoliators , face packs and scrubs will help to remove that layer of grease and grime off your skin. Pollution is a serious cause of skin damage, because toxins in the air can clog pores, cause acne and giving skin a dull appearance.
Washing your face twice a day will help  as will using products which offer anti-oxidation,  look for creams containing vitamin A, C and E and hyaluronic acid, for a brilliant skin plumping ingredient which traps moisture in skin cells.
Protecting your skin from the elements is important as you can see from the information above.
