Make sure you get enough sleep. Getting enough sleep is important for your skin and your health. When you are tired, it can make wrinkles and aging progress more than ever! Being well rested is great for your appearance in many different ways, but most importantly, it keeps your skin youthful!

Creating a good skin care routine will help you and your body make sure that things such as sun burns stay away. Avoid greasy foods if you can to avoid oily skin which leads to acne, and make sure to wear a brimmed hat if you're doing things such as gardening because sun burns are no fun and avoidable.

Be careful not to over do it with skin care products. If you are constantly trying new products, you may irritate your skin and cause a rash or an acne breakout. Sometimes it is best to give your skin a rest for a few days and just wear basic makeup and use mild cleansers.

To keep skin looking great without spending a lot of money, avoid buying expensive cleansers. They don't stay on your body or face long enough to do any good, because they get washed off in minutes by shower water. That's money down the drain. Opt instead, for a good glycerin soap, which does a great job cleansing your skin, without stripping vital oils from it.

When caring for your skin, do not forget about your lips. Although many people are careful to apply facial sunscreen in an effort to avoid wrinkles, many times people neglect to apply a sun protecting balm to their lips.

If you have spent the whole day in the sun and want to cool down your sunburned skin, use aloe vera and lavender. Simply infuse some water with lavender and chamomile and mix it with the aloe vera gel. Put it in a spray bottle and spray away!
