When Should You Start Skin Care

It is never too early in a child's life for you to teach it the basics of proper skin care and proper nutrition. So basically whatever your child does as an adult they were probably taught to do as a child.
The skin of our body is our first defense against germs and diseases entering our bosies, and this skin needs to be protected so that it can continue to remain supple for as many years as possible, because once we start allowing the damage to happen to our skin, then we start allowing our health to break down. We need the young people among us to know that prevention of skin damage through the use of sunscreen is the best thing you can do for your health. With this knowledge they can arm themselves with healthy skin that protects them while remaining beautiful.

The damages that we face most often from outside forces to our skin are caused by the elements, the sun damages our skin and increases our chances of suffering from skin cancer, and the wind and cold cause our skin to become dry and cracked letting germs have an unprotected entrance to our bodies. The younger we learn to stop allowing this damage to occur the better off we are. We need to also learn at a very young age that chemicals can harm your body in ways you do not always see.

We need to learn early that for every type of damage that nature can cause to our skin, there is also something in nature that can correct, or prevent that damage. Man made products that contain unknown substances only hurt us in the long run. Your skin is something you have to provide daily care for and the only things that are safe to use every day are the things that nature gives us.

In order for children to act on these lessons they need to see the adults in their lives doing the things they tell them to do. If you want them to not smoke, and not use drugs, then do not let them see you do it. If you want them to eat a healthy diet and get plenty of exercise then they need to see that reflected in the way you live your life. We only get one life to live, so let us live that life to the fullest for as long as we can.
