Keratin, is the thickest of all body areas which is subjected to daily wear and tear. It prevents water loss and is impervious to many harmful chemicals and to bacteria. Melanin, at the same time acts as a natural sunscreen.

The Elastic tissue in the skin provide resilience. Although these tissues lose elasticity with age, causing skin to wrinkle. The fat layer beneath the dermis acts as insulator and cushion. Rather, this fat enables the skin to move especially in the areas such as face. Women Beauty health experts will help you in understanding and managing your skin for that lifelong glow. What you essentially need to follow is to take good care of your skin by protecting it from the harmful effect of sun and substances that irritate the skin. At the same time you need to follow a healthy balanced diet-which is the core to a healthy skin.

As we proceed, you will learn your skin type and how to take care of the same. Before you begin any beauty routine, it is essential that you carefully study your skin type and what the lines on your face have to say.
