Beauty may be subjective and out of our hands, but having beautiful skin is certainly within our grasp with some daily, weekly and even monthly skin care routines to help maintain a radiant complexion throughout the years
What is beauty? The term "beautiful" can be ascribed to any visible, tangible object, face, taste or even smell. However, abstract concepts can also take on the adjective of beauty.
Ancient Greek philosopher Plotinus from the Hellenistic tradition had defined beauty as the radiance, the light of the divine mind mirrored in the material world, while 18th-century German philosopher Immanuel Kant – one of the central Enlightenment thinkers – emphasized the subjectivity of beauty and put forward that beauty was not just related to sensation but also was the result of one's judgments.
As the tastes of societies change according to cultures and time, it has been thought impossible to talk about absolute and ideal beauty.
The characterization of a person as beautiful, whether it is a personal opinion or the common judgment of society, is often based on a combination of "inner beauty" such as personality, intelligence, elegance and charm and "outer beauty" such as health, youth, relevance to the average and prevalence, and of course, skin.
Today, I want to talk to you about one of the essential factors of "outer beauty": Skin beauty.
Beautiful skin?
Having clean skin is the most elemental and essential part of having beautiful skin.
Skin problems are caused by the effects of nutrition, genetics and free radicals – unstable atoms that can damage cells, causing illness and aging.
Our priority should be to clean the remnants of free radicals, that is, external factors that damage our skin.
So, how do we do this?
There are various skin types that can be divided into four basic categories, namely oily, dry, combination – both oily and dry – and sensitive, and some also branch within themselves.
It is recommended that you find out your skin type by visiting a skin care professional.
The next step is to follow daily, weekly and monthly skin care routines.
You need to wash your skin every morning at the start of the day and before going to sleep at the end of the day, with products suitable for whatever skin type you have.
Of course, skin care is not just about washing your face, daily routines are required, like the steps that follow.
