How to get Baby Soft Skin?

Your skin lives just as long as you do and reflects the state of your mind and your age but dull, sluggish and wrinkled skin can occur due to inadequate or occasional skin care. Following some simple guidelines and incorporating them in your daily routine can help you get baby soft skin that you’ll love to feel.

Easy Tips and Techniques:

• Remember to cleanse daily, as this is the first step towards acquiring baby soft skin that is smooth to the touch. Cleansing gently but thoroughly brings you one step closer to your goal of younger and healthier skin as it rids the skin of dead cells that give it a dull, sluggish appearance and opens the pores, allowing the skin to breathe. Toning it afterwards helps tighten the pores and vitalize the skin while following up with a good moisturizer helps nourish the skin and supply essential oils for a glowing complexion.
• A weekly exfoliation is necessary to rid the skin of surface impurities and removing the layer of dead skin cells, environmental pollutants that block the pores and cause blackheads and pimples and give it a fresh, youthful look.
• Avoid products with harsh chemicals and go in for those that have a natural base and are primed with vitamins and minerals necessary to replenish the body’s natural ph levels and hydration requirements.
• Apply body lotion and face cream while the skin is still moist with water after a bath/face washing routine as this is the ideal time to moisturize your skin because pores are still open and most receptive to accepting skin nourishment.
• Remember to wear sunscreen at least 20 minutes before leaving the house and reapply every 4 hours if you intend being out in the sun. The reason why babies have such touch-me, soft skin is that they have minimum exposure to harmful UV rays of the sun that cause wrinkles, tanning and skin cancer at the worst.
• Supply extra moisturizing on dry and rough areas like the heels, elbows, knees, and hands, before going to sleep as this is the time when your skin rests and is not subjected to harsh wind or sun damage so can absorb moisturizer better.
• Drink at least half your weight in ounces of water every day. This means, if you weigh 140 lbs., you need to drink 70 ounces of water daily to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
• A daily dose of a multivitamin will help you in your skin-care fight to ward off damage and wrinkles, while regular application of baby oil after your shower will help absorb it better in the steam-filled environment.
• A variation to this is adding 5 capfuls of baby oil in the bath water and following it up with baby lotion after your bath. Massage this onto your moist skin in slow, circular motions till totally absorbed into the layers to give you a nourished, healthy baby soft skin-tender to the touch.
