Beauty is essential to a woman. Who does not want to look
beautiful? Nowadays, even man also likes to be pretty. Those men are called
metrosexual. They are not gay, but they like to look pretty and smart. Now,
women and men are equal. Beauty comes along with healthy. We must be healthy in
order to look beauty.
First
and foremost, we must know our own skin type. There are five types of skin
which are normal, oily, dry, combination and sensitive skin. Each types of skin
have its own features that make it easy to recognize. The first type of skin is
normal skin. This skin type is rarely suffers from acne and blemishes. People
with normal skin do not have to deal with pimples because of they have pores
that are normal in size. Pores that are normal in size rarely trap oil and dirt
inside them. The second skin type is oily skin. This type of skin always deals
with chronic blemishes. In order to keep oily skin healthy, frequent cleaning
is very important. The third type of skin is combination skin. This type of
skin is oily in certain places and dry in other places. The solution for this
skin type is to treat each type as needed. Lastly is sensitive skin. People
with this skin type always cause them problem to use any products. They should
always look for hypoallergenic products. We can plan our daily skin routine
correctly after identifying our own skin type.
Plastic
surgery is increasingly popular nowadays as the new generation of people loves
to upgrade their looks or appearance. The reasons why they want to perform
plastic surgery is they feel that a good-looking face will make it easier for
them to find a job or husband. However, beauty comes along with pain and
danger. The increasing popularity of plastic surgery has resulted in increased
of unregistered and unsafe practitioners. Furthermore, a person may being risk
stuck with the face that they do not like after enduring so much pain and
paying a lot of money for the surgery.
Another
way to look beautiful is Botox injection. It contained a purified form of the
toxin that causes botulism which is a deadly type of food poisoning. Botox was
finally approved for cosmetic purposes in April 2002 but has been approved to
treat medical conditions for years. The effects of Botox only last for four to
six months. However, there are some bad side effects of Botox such as temporary
nausea or headaches and moderate drooping of one or both eyelids, lasting about
two weeks. On the other hand, Botox have some good effects too. For example, after
the Botox procedure, frequent migraines get better.
Other
than paying attention on how to get a beautiful skin, we must know how to
prevent skin cancer. There are four ways to prevent skin cancer. The first way
is by protective clothing. Protective clothing and wearing long sleeved shirts
and pants help prevent excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The second
way is avoidance of tanning booth. Tanning booths can lead to extra exposure of
UVB and UVA, which might further lead to the development of skin cancer. Avoidance
of the sun at its most intense period during the day is also important. The
best time for outdoor activities is during the early morning or late in the
afternoon.
Last but not least, we must follow a healthy
diet and constant with our daily skin regime. It is crucial to be constant with
your skincare regime. Other than normal cleansing and toning, adding an
antioxidant cream during the day and an eye cream for both day and night will
helps a person to get a healthy skin. Always apply a fine broad spectrum
sunscreen every day no matter what your age to keep a healthy skin. In order to
help skin looks its best, we must follow a diet based on fruits, nuts,
vegetables, fish, and poultry.
People
nowadays always try to make their skin looks good but they ignore the health of
their skin. A campaign should be organized to give people knowledge about the
importance of skin health. Remember, beauty comes along with health! Let’s
start to protect our skin!
