Good skin care — including sun protection and gentle cleansing — can keep your skin healthy and glowing.

Don’t have time for intensive skin care? You can still pamper yourself by acing the basics. Good skin care and healthy lifestyle choices can help delay natural aging and prevent various skin problems. Get started with these five no-nonsense tips.

1. Protect Yourself from the Sun One of the most important ways to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems — as well as increase the risk of skin cancer.

Use sunscreen - Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15
Seek shade
Wear protective clothing

2. Don't smoke Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles.

3. Treat your skin gently Daily cleansing and shaving can take a toll on your skin. To keep it gentle:

Limit bath time
Avoid strong soaps
Shave carefully
Pat dry
Moisturize dry skin - consider a moisturizer that contains SPF.

4. Eat a healthy diet A healthy diet can help you look and feel your best. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. Drinking plenty of water helps keep your skin hydrated.

5. Manage stress Uncontrolled stress can make your skin more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems. To encourage healthy skin — and a healthy state of mind — take steps to manage your stress. Get enough sleep, set reasonable limits, scale back your to-do list and make time to do the things you enjoy.
