Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) November 22, 2005 -- Bestskinpeel.com today is releasing to the press their 9 proven steps for healthier skin.

For cleaner, healthier and easier to manage skin just follow this list of nine items:

1) Lower stress levels through prayer and meditation. Stress creates hormones that actually hasten the aging process as they destroy cells and create toxic biproducts and free radicals. Studies have shown that prayer and meditation can reduce stress levels and have a calming, reenergizing effect. Prayer and meditation have been proven to even alleviate some of the symptoms of cancer and other life threatening diseases.

2) Drink plenty of water. It is a fact that 90% of people do not drink enough water. For skin cells to function properly and heal properly from cuts, etc... they need proper hydration. According to research that is 8-12 glasses of water every day. The skin is one of the most important organs as it protects from disease, cushions from falls, etc... Keep the skin properly hydrated.

3) Get proper sleep. Not getting the proper 8-10 hours of sleep per day will first show in the skin. Broken capillaries, puffiness, circles under the eyes, etc...

4) Eat well. Get proper nutrition. Too many junk foods can cause or worsen skin problems like pimples and acne, amongst others. A well balanced meal 3 times per day has been proven to help alleviate spikes in skin problems and help to average out the outbreaks in acne vulgaris.

5) Take vitamins to supplement the skin and body. Stated David Maillie "We can't always make sure we get 100% of each vitamin and mineral with the foods we eat, but we can take a multivitamin once a day." They are cheap at Walmart and there is no excuse. People that take multivitamins once a day live longer. Its a proven fact just like persons that smoke take years off their lives.

6) Properly clean the skin. Harsh soaps can dry out the skin and even stimulate further sebum (oil) production which can worsen acne. Use a mild cleanser with 2% salicylic acid. This has been proven very effective in ridding excess oils while maintaining proper hydration and pH. The slight acidity will keep bacteria at bay.

7) Don't smoke. Smoking ages the skin. Literally, smoking can add 10 years to the aged look of the skin. For nicotine cravings, get nicotine gum or the patch -- they will cure cravings and there is no evidence or statistics of anyone ever developing cancer, lung disease, etc... from these.

8) Wear sunscreen. The skin does have keratonin to protect against the suns rays, but it is no match for UV rays, etc... Melanoma has several forms and all are deadly. Think it can't happen to you? Just go to your local dermatologist and ask to see pictures of clients with skin cancer, better yet go to the oncology center at the local hospital. Many cancer patients once thought it couldn't happen to them either. Wear sunscreen.

9) Treat yourself. Get a spa treatment atleast once a year. Skin peels, TCA peels, deep tissue massage, complete relaxation, aromatherapy, etc... will all energize and heal the skin. TCA peels will actual improve your skins ability to regenerate itself and improve collagen levels. This will make the skin look and feel younger.

Remember, follow these nine steps to enjoy healthier skin.
