By Linda M. McCloud


If you are a woman, there are some basic skin and agin tips you should know. These tips will help you mature gracefully and help keep your skin feeling more moisturized and more youthful. Most of all, these tips will make you look great.

Never Go To Bed With Your Makeup Still On
Yes, we all get tired. However, we also all get lazy. This laziness can cause some major skin and aging problems. How? We leave our makeup on our faces too long, which can help clog our pores. We go to bed and then that makeup becomes buried into our pores even more as we lay on our pillows, pushing the makeup deep into our pores.

The best solution is to properly wash off the makeup with a good makeup remover and water. However, when we are lazy, sick or tired, a makeup towelette will work in a pinch .

Avoid Overwashing Your Skin
Yes, you want to be clean. However, you don't want to overwash your skin. This is the one skin and aging tip that is often overlooked. Overwashing can lead to dryness, which can lead to wrinkles and fine lines over your entire body. Limit the amount of time you spend washing to less than 20 minutes, and avoid exposing your skin to hot water. Bathe in lukewarm water instead.

Apply Lotion andMoisturizersWithin 10 Minutes After Bathing
You should always apply your lotions within the first 10 minutes after you take your bath. This is the best time because your pores are open and your skin will benefit from the lotion more.

Drink Plenty of Water Daily
Each and every day, we should all be drinking 6-8 glasses of water. Our bodies need water to function properly, and our skin needs the water to keep from becoming too dry. Once our skin becomes dry, it can wrinkle more quickly and can also be prone to cracking. This cracking can even lead to small cuts. The best way to solve both of these problems is from the inside out by making sure that your skin stays hydrated.
These are simple and basic skin and aging tips. However, many women will go out and spend a ton of money on beauty products while overlooking these very simple tips.
