In August, Dr. Johnson is starting a series of classes to help you with staying young-looking. This article will get you started with some helpful tips to care for your skin.

1. Everyone knows that the skin needs to be protected from the sun. The sun ages the skin significantly so for the most complete protection, use sunscreen with zinc oxide every day, seek shade during the middle of the day (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and wear wide-brimmed hats to keep your skin protected and healthy.

2. Use a mild soap or even oils to remove makeup and wash with warm water, not hot.

3. If you smoke, stop. Smoking contributes to wrinkles, reduces oxygen getting to the skin cells and makes the blood vessels smaller reducing blood flow. All of this starves the skin and it will age early.

4. Eat a healthy diet, low in white carbs and high in vegetables, free range meat, healthy proteins, and reduce packaged foods.

5. Reduce stress, find something that you enjoy to do and do it. Cut back on unnecessary time killers that are stressful.  Doing something small just for yourself can have huge benefits to a healthy state of mind.
