May is the month to create awareness about skin care.
ORANJESTAD - The Department of Public Health encourages everyone to consider their skin value during Skin Care Awareness Month.
Your skin is your first defense against the outside world and reflects your overall health and well-being. It deserves your attention and care.
It is easier than you think to maintain healthy, illuminated skin. Here are some essential tips:
- Eat healthy: What you eat has a direct impact on the appearance of your skin. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and antioxidants helps nourish your skin from the inside out, leaving it more hydrated and youthful.
- Use sunblock every day: Aruba's sun is strong! Protecting your skin every day against the harmful rays of the sun is crucial to prevent wrinkles, blemishes, and diseases such as skin cancer. Always use excellent sunscreen with adequate sun protection factor (SPF), even if the day seems overcast.
- Do not smoke: Smoking hurts your skin. It causes a tired look on your skin, premature aging, marked expression lines, and lifeless skin color. For your overall health and skin beauty, stop smoking!
- Be mindful to any changes: Your skin communicates with you. It is essential to be aware of any changes in your skin, such as the appearance of pimples, changes in the size or color of an existing pimple, or wounds that do not heal. If you notice anything unusual, seek professional medical advice immediately.
- Remember, skin care is an investment in your long-term health and well-being. If you take care of it you will have stronger, healthier, and happier skin for many years.
Celebrate this month that motivates you to take care of your skin by taking action today!
