4. Sun
Tanning

5. Sun Tanning
Some people feels that its good to spend entire days
baking in the sun in order to tan their skin. But
dermatologists says that sun worshipping will only
causes premature aging -- and skin cancer.
When the sun damages the cells and deeper skin tissues
irreparably you get skin aging and you are more prone to
skin cancer.
“Avoid getting sunburnt and damaging your
skin, and make sure you make it a habit to wear
long­sleeved clothing”

6. Sun
Screen

7. Sun Screen
Your sunscreen probably isn't shielding you from
sun damage because most of us do not apply the
right amount of SPF 30 or higher sunscreen.
Most people under-apply by one-fourth. Whatever
you're putting on is probably too little, so at least
double it. Also, many people also don't apply
sunscreen every two hours as dermatologists
recommend.
“When you are going out in the Sun, apply
sunscreen thicker and do not forget to re­
apply after a couple of hours.”

8. Tanning
Beds

9. Tanning Beds
Some people thinks that tanning bed is safer than
being outside in the sun. But think again!!!
Tanning beds give you a concentrated burst of
ultraviolet light that causes skin aging and will
increase your risk for skin cancer. 'Never go into a
tanning parlor,' Levine says. 'There couldn't be a
worse thing to do to your skin.'
“Spray tans and self­tanning creams are a
safe alternative to give you that golden
glow without the harmful effects.”

10. Smoking

11. Smoking
Lung cancer, emphysema, heart disease, and
stroke aren't enough to scare you off cigarettes,
how about all those wrinkles you'll get?
Smoking does a lot of what the sun does. It just
does it inside the body instead of outside also It
makes the skin weak, tired, and dull looking.
Smoking also yellows the skin, interferes with its
blood supply, and slows wound healing.
“Don't think QUIT SMOKING as simple as
that”

12. Wrong
Cleanser

13. Wrong Cleanser
Most people do big mistake when they wash their face is
using a harsh soap that's meant for their body. Your skin
will become very dry, chapped and may be even cracke if
you are treating your skin wrong. Use right cleanser and
moisturizer to give your skin a natural touch.
“­ If you've sensitive skin use mild cleanser for your
face.
­ If your skin acne prone make sure the cleanser
you use is oil­free and noncomedogenic.
­ If your skin is dry follow up each wash by
applying a layer of lotion (preferably one that
contains sunscreen) to seal in the skin's moisture.”

14. Scrubbing
Skin

15. Scrubbing Skin
Washing your face is a good idea but scrubbing it
isn't.
Scrubbing can be very irritating to the skin. A lot
of times people who have acne will feel like they
have to scrub the skin to make it better, but that
can actually worsen the acne.
“Be gentle to your skin. Wash your face
using a soft, circular motion using your
fingertips."

16. Popping
Pimples

17. Popping Pimples
Many people have habit to pop up pimple to get
rid of it. Whenever you feel tempted to pop a
pimple, control the urge. 'Picking will make the
acne worse and lead to permanent scarring,'
Stein says. Better to leave it alone.
“Try over­the­counter pimple remedy
containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic
acid. If that doesn't clear up your
breakouts, call your dermatologist."

18. Overeating

19. Over Eating
Before you take another bite of that bacon double
cheeseburger, consider this: When you gain a lot of
weight, your skin has to stretch to accommodate your
new girth. Lose the weight and you'll be left with
flabby, saggy skin. If your skin isn't elastic enough to
bounce back, you may have to resort to surgery to
tighten it up.
A healthy varied diet is important in maintaining
healthy skin. There’s no one specific food that is good
for our skin, but eating a good mix of healthy stuff is
the first step.
“Make a habit to eat balance of fruit,
vegetables, whole grains, as well as dairy and
lean protein foods”

20. Bad
Sleep

21. Late Night Sleep
More than a quarter of us aren't getting the eight
to 10 hours of sleep we need nightly, and our
exhaustion is as obvious as the pallor of our skin
and the bags under our eyes.
Your skin rejuvenates while you're sleeping. And
lack of sleep makes your face look dull and can
exaggerate the appearance of dark circles.
“Always have a Good Night sleep of atleast
8­10 hours a day.”

22. Ignoring
Warning Signs

23. Ignoring Warning Signs
A changing mole is one of the clearest signs of
skin cancer. Spotting it early gives your doctor a
chance to treat it before it has time to spread. For
that you must have to look after your skin
completely?
If you spot anything, or if you've got a personal or
family history of skin cancer, immediately consult
your dermatologist and let him do complete care
of your skin.
“Once a month, you should be checking
your skin from top to bottom, front to back
in a full­length mirror.”
