Tips To Have a Baby Soft Skin...

Don't you hate having dry, ashy, or rough skin? By taking on a few simple habits, you can be well on your way to having baby-smooth skin.

STEPS:

1. Cleanse your skin once a day with soap, water, and a soft sponge.

2. The MOST important step- Ex-fo-li-ate! Exfoliate once a week or once a fortnight if you have sensitive skin. It will remove dead skin cells, dirt and oil and will leave your skin baby soft!

3. Pat dry with a towel. Don't rub or scrub - this damages your skin and also creates wrinkles later on in life.

4. Apply lotion or cream before you leave the steam-filled bathroom. This is the best time to moisturize your skin because your pores are still open and your skin is still moist.

5. Wear sunblock if you're going to step outside of your house. One of the reasons babies have such soft skin is that they haven't been exposed to the harmful effects of UV rays!

6. Moisturize especially dry or tough areas, especially the feet, elbows, knees, and hands, right before going to sleep.

7. Drink half your weight in ounces of water every day. For example, if you weigh 140 lbs., you should drink 70 ounces of water every day. This will keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.

8. Take a daily multivitamin to help your skin fight off damage and wrinkles.

9. After your shower put baby oil on your skin. Another step that is important to getting baby soft skin!

10. If you take a bath put 5 capfuls of baby oil in the water

11. After bath or shower dry skin and put on lotion

12. Put on powder after bath or shower

TIPS:

* Gentle, unscented soaps are best for your skin.

* Remember that your skin is your body's largest and most vulnerable organ. Take good care of it!

* In step 4 one can use baby oil, preferably with aloe vera and vitamin E, instead of lotion. Make sure there is some water left on the skin after patting dry, simply to avoid excessive oiliness.

* Add a handful of sugar to your favorite lotion and mix. Rub it into your dry skin and then towel it off.
