5 things that can ruin your skin (a friendly reminder)

im a chocoholic.... leave me alone, my skin is fine.

Yeah this is not news, it's common knowledge. Here's a few other well known things you forgot, stop touching your face, the grease on your hands will cause breakouts. Use clean pads, brushes and wipes to apply foundation, blush and other cosmetics besides your lotion.

don't be hating on my freckles, i have had them all my life.

It was just a friendly reminder, folks. I enjoyed it. Why all the hostility?

GOOD DNA helps

im surprised they didn't direct us to a web site to sell us something

And golly gee, you could do all of these things and STILL end up with bad skin! Pfft.

Neutrogena has this adorable little tool that you use a couple of times a week and this thing is amazing! After using it if you will then apply a good quality serum you WILL see incredible results!
and I'm in my mid 50's and smoke!! ssshhhhhhh

The sad part is that this really is news to some people lol

yea..um.. I clicked on this link thinking it was going to tellme something I'd NEVER heard b4..but...unfortunately NOT.
& like some1 else posted.. GENETICS also play a large part.. you could NEVER drink, NEVER smoke, AVOID the sun & sugar, AND STILL end up with lines & wrinkles sooner than maybe u SHOULD... OR the other way around, if u have GOOD genetics, u can smoke, drink, tan, & eat all the chocolate in the world & not have a wrinkle on you until your 55years old! ..NO1 knows for sure how YOUR skin is going 2 end up..
LUCKILY (knocking on wood) I'll b 28 and don't have not 1 fine line or wrinkle NEwhere.. I DO wear sunscreen in my moisturizer, but I ALSO smoke (bout a pack every day& 1/2 to 2days)& only drink on special occassions, AND AM THE QUEEN of sugar! LOL
Blah Blah Blah -- unfortunately this article just didn't interest me AT ALL & was NOTHING that EVERY magazine hasn't been telling us for the past 10 years or so.

Yeah, these things above are true

when my face is very very dry... I rinse it and do not dry and when it has dried naturally put on oil..any oil.. canola, olive, whatever I have. sometimes butter. (all I have to do then is put an apple in my mouth and go into oven right????) but it helps and feels good.

glycerin soap that locks in moisture when you wash (with plenty of tepid water), fennel oil (ancient wrinkle treatment), salmon, fish oil capsules daily (at least three), dead sea salt (try it, it is amazingly simple for sloughing off rough skin on your hands), sunblock daily, a hat, drinking enough water daily, facial exercises...just common sense, basic maintenance if you care enough about your skin's condition to do it. Oh, and alpha-hydroxy cream at nighttime--don't forget the ingredient hyluronic acid, either.

The best thing for your skin is Mary Kay Facials everyday. I have been using Mary Kay since 1970 and I no skin problems. Needless to say, I do not drink, smoke, nor do any of the above mentioned items. Sell your products you must, however, Mary Kay will make you bit the dust!

I do all 5 of those things. Wat I want to know is how to correct the damage caused by those 5 things.

and of course, don't pop zits!!!! egads. can you say giant pores later on???

Little is said about invasive procedures like strong acid peels. Maybe once in a lifetime, when a person is middle-aged and craggy, but many women do this on a regular basis. It damages the stem cells in the skin, as does sun exposure. After a few of these peels people look like burn victims. Their natural ability to renew is highly diminished.

I understand that these things are bad for your skin, but there are people who obey these rules but break more obvious ones. Think about this: you're at school. You aren't allowed to carry a bottle of water around, the water fountains are disgusting, the school day is 7 hours long, and the only other opprotunity for a drink is during lunch. My point is that it's so hard to stay hydrated at my school. That takes up all my time, so if I obey all the rules but that one, it could make a difference. 5 days of the week out of 7 I'm at school, unless I'm absent or there's a break. In total...that's a lot of days I won't be completely hydrated. I'll list the other rules.

Don't do drugs
Don't touch your face so much
Don't let oily hair get in your face often
Wash your face
Wash off cosmetics before you go to sleep

Your skin might (emphasis on the might) be fine.
