They do, they Don't

Not to lecture you, as we all get enough of that without reading Enza's blog, but as we begin the new year with our improved skin care resolutions, there are some things that are essential to know. So on second thought-- we might need to lecture you just a bit (don't worry, there won't be a quiz!). The following is Enza Essentials' friendly list of skin care do's and don't's to help you along your skin care journey. 


DO

• Limit sugar intake- A large sugar intake can destroy your skin's collagen and elasticity resulting in quicker aging
• Include Vitamin C- Be sure to include vitamin C in your diet and apply it directly to your skin as it fights off free radicals
• Choose red wine- Red wine contains anti-oxidants and flavonoids that can help your body fight against skin cancer
• Drink water-Dr. Rucker recommends drinking at least eight glasses per day to help cleanse your system of impurities

DON'T

• Rub your skin dry- Pat your face dry with a soft towel instead of rubbing it, in order to protect your sensitive skin
• Use products with mineral oil or petroleum- These ingredients may lead to clogging your pores and prevent your body from naturally flushing out your skin's toxins, leading to breakouts
• Skip toner-Apply after cleansing and throughout the day in order to keep your skin's pH balance normal, rid your face of excess oils, and keep you looking fresh
• Touch your face- Touching your face leads to an increased exposure to bacteria and oil which will quickly show up as acne and blemishes
