Healthy skin is really one of the most important ingredients for your own true natural beauty. This article is to give you 10 good skin care tips that we thought might be helpful for you to care for your skin naturally. The list of just 10 skin care tips that should be at the top of everyone's list. The are in no real order, just tips to help your skin.

So let’s see what these top ten skin care tips are:
* Knowing your skin type is one of the most important skin care tip. The reason why this is important because not every skin care product suits all skin. In fact, most the skin care products work better if they are used for the skin type they are geared towards. If you got dry skin you do not want to use skincare made for someone who as acne for example. So read the labels to be the skincare products you are using work for you skin.

* ‘Drink a lot of water’. This is just a common tip that just seems to be forgotten. This will not keep your skin moist but will help in overall upkeep of your health (and in turn your skin). This is an important skin care tip.

* Cleanse your skin regularly (2 times once in the morning then at night to remove the dirt for the day, and do this everyday). Its a great skin care tip that helps in getting rid of the dirt and other harsh elements from your skin. Cleansing is especially important when you have been out of your house (and hence exposed to pollutants, dust etc). There is no such thing as makeup so pure you can sleep in, so wash it off every night. Using lukewarm water is best for cleansing (hot and cold water, both, can really dry out your skin)

* Be gentle, after all it’s your skin. Try not do scrub/exfoliate too hard or too often. Using a exfoliate product is good about once a week but more than that you are going to do some damage. Similarly, don’t apply too much or too many different skin care products. You can block your pores or react to one of the products you are not using and not be sure which one. A must-to-follow skin care tip.

* Keep your skin moist at all times. This is one of the most important skin care tip. Don’t let your skin get over-dry. It really does show up on your face. Dryness causes the outer layer of your skin to break, leading to a rough and unattractive appearance. By using moisturisers/ emollients you are not only helping your skin outer look but you are helping your skin keep its moisture in . Moisturisers work best when applied while the skin is still damp.

* Simple tip but it does need to be said. Avoid the use of body soap on your face. Soap should only be used from below the neck. What you use below the neck is not what you should be using on your face. Its a small but important skin care tip.

The number one skincare tip that no one really does enough of is wear sunscreen!

* By using sunscreen you are protecting yourself from sun’s harmful UV radiations. You can use day-time moisturisers that have sunscreen built into them. Use them even when it’s cloudy. And it doesn't matter what time of year either. UV radiations are known to cause skin cancer, so follow this skin care tip without fail.

And don't forget the rest of you either.
* A bit of exercise and good sleep are essential too, not just for skin care but for your health as a whole. Lack of sleep can lead to formation of wrinkles below your eyes and lack of exercise can cause your skin to slack. Moreover, exercise and sleep also help in beating stress. So besides being a skin care tip, this is also a health care tip.

* Treat skin breakouts with care. This skin care tip is about not ignoring any skin breakouts or more acne than you have had before. Consult your dermatologist before you try to treat your major breakouts with the newest skincare product on the market. You end up harming your skin even more than making it better. It goes back to another skincare tip, be careful of the number of skincare products you use.

* Beat the stress. In this day and age stress is on of the biggest killers overall. The harmful effects of stress are known to everyone, however, sometimes stating the obvious is essential too which is why its been added as a skin care tip. Yes, stress harms skin too. So, take a break or indulge in a warm bubble bath or just get good sleep.
