Taking care or your skin.
Use gentle non-drying cleansers and apply moisturizers.
Dry skin develops invisible (and sometimes visible) cracks that allow harmful bacteria and other irritating substances in.
Help prevent skin cancer, wrinkles, and splotching by using sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher) outside, wearing protective clothing outdoors, avoiding exposure to the sun, and artificial tanning.
Wear protective gloves when you wash dishes, work with harsh chemicals, garden, or do other activities that can be hard on your hands.
Check your own skin for changes in moles, for new lumps, or for discoloration.
