SKIN CARE

your skin is your body's guard,protecting your internal organs against bacteria,chemicals and external shock.It is also the body's thermostat,regulating the body's temperature through the sweat glands.How you take care of your skin is reflected in its present condition and in years to come

  • Bathe at least once a day with soap and water cleanse your face at least twice a day;in the morning and before you retire to bed in the evening.Avoid harsh soaps and long periods.Use soap suitable for your skin type.
  • Shower immediately after swimming so that salt water and chlorine won't irritate or dry your skin.
  • Pat off sweat with a clean towel to prevent irritation.Do not share towels or clothes as skin infections can be passed through these.
