Infographic: Skin Care 101

Beautiful skin depends, in part, on a proper skincare program that includes cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing and protecting the skin from the sun and other elements.  Healthy, glowing skin also depends on diet, exercise and sleep, which are just as (if not more) important as adhering to a daily topical skincare regimen.

This infographic, entitled "Skin Care 101" covers the basics of taking care of your skin properly.

The best cleansers, exfoliators, moisturizers and sunscreen products come from Mother Nature.  Common foods and household items like almond, olive and coconut oils, honey, brown and white sugar, sea salt, lemons, avocados, cucumbers, apple cider vinegar, cornstarch, baking soda and many other fruits, vegetables and herbs can be used in simple combinations to cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize and protect the skin.  The organic versions of these natural ingredients do not contain pesticides and the toxic chemicals that are generally found in great abundance in commercial beauty products.

Proper hydration (i.e., drinking plenty of water) and a diet rich in dark leafy green vegetables, nuts, citrus and other fruits is essential to beautiful, youthful skin.

Exercise (including yoga), relaxation techniques (including meditation) and adequate sleep and rest are another important component of clear, bright and smooth skin.
