Skin Care Tips For Any Skin Type

The delicate facial skin and dry areas on the shins and elbows are usually given a lot of attention as part of the skin care routine. However, other areas are often forgotten.

This particularly includes the back and the stomach areas. These areas need special care too. If you find you don’t have enough time to moisturize them, try using NIVEA In-Shower Nourishing Body Lotion to save time.

The driest areas of skin can be found on our knees, elbows and shins, which can get worse during the winter months and require more intensive care. Use NIVEA Essentially Enriched Body Lotion.

Our hands and feet are very important body parts, helping us with almost all our movements throughout the day. Beautiful hands and feet are particularly eye-catching when well cared for.

The knee and shin areas in particular can suffer from dry skin. Intensive body lotions provide the skin with moisture and leave the legs looking beautiful and smooth. 

• Keep your favorite night-time skin care products next to your bed to save yourself time and help to make sure you remember to apply them
• Treat your feet before going to bed: apply moisturizer and put on overnight socks
• Always keep a hand cream in your handbag
• Use an air humidifier during the winter months. Ideally, the humidity indoors should be 50-70%.
• Make sure you clean your phone regularly with a disinfectant wipe. We leave our smartphones lying about everywhere, which means that bacteria gets on to the smartphone display. This bacteria can very easily end up on our cheeks and ears, and may lead to skin problems and blemishes.

By drinking a lot of water, you’re refreshing your skin. Water supports the cells, transports nutrients. For optimum benefits, drink at least two liters of water a day.

As an alternative, if you are looking for a beverage that is low in sugar, you may want to consider Coconut water, which is typically made up of 94% water, fat free and low in sugar – perfect for efficiently hydrating  by providing  vitamins, potassium and enzymes.

It’s when you’re asleep that your body and skin takes the time to regenerate and recover from your day-to day activities. It’s vital that you get enough sleep to allow for this process or your inner balance and skin could suffer.

Nowadays, our lives are busier and more hectic than ever before, not least because of the amount of technology we seem to be ruled by. Taking occasional time out from digital devices such as smartphones, tablets and computers is absolutely necessary for rebalancing the mind and destressing.

The fact is that in a world fueled by social media and smartphones, we’re expected to be available and on-call 24/7, and that’s simply not healthy for our brains or bodies. The evening is the perfect time to disengage from the devices we hold so close during the day and let our batteries recharge. If the evening doesn’t suit you, weekends or even holidays work too.

Why not try switching off your smartphone and laptop 2-3 hours before you go to sleep or setting your phone to ‘airplane mode’. This break will give your mind the chance to recover from all the events of the day. Your skin is greatly affected by stress levels and will thank you for this break. When your mind is at ease, your skin will be too and this can be considered just another part of your skin care routine.
