Do you want to keep your skin looking and feeling nice for the upcoming summer months ? If so , here is a guide on how to keep your skin healthy .

The first thing you should do each day is take a shower . This gets rid of any bacteria or germs that are on your body . Certain bacteria can lead to skin infection and / or acne .

After showering , apply lotion to your skin . Keeping it moisturized helps your skin from drying out and cracking . Read labels to make sure your soaps and lotions don ’ t contain harmful chemicals such as parabens that can lead to an increased risk of cancer .

Once you ’ re done moisturizing , go outside and get some sun . Sunshine is a good source of Vitamin D which is great for your skin . Just make sure when you ’ re outside you keep your skin protected .

There are multiple ways to keep your skin protected from the harmful UV rays of the sun . There are obvious things like seeking shade or wearing protective clothing ( hats , long sleeve shirts , glasses , etc .). You can also apply sunblock . Some popular skin care brands like Aveeno , Banana Boat , Neutrogena , and Coppertone sell products with a high SPF .

When you ’ re done with your daily activities it ’ s important to cleanse your skin to prevent any buildup of dirt or bacteria . You can use soap and warm water or a special face wash . If you want to get lotions , cleansers , or soaps that are natural and do not contain harmful chemicals , Burt ’ s Bees is a good choice . Neutrogena and Gold Bond are also inexpensive moisturizers that you can use .

Remember , the skin is the largest organ on your body , so it ’ s important to take care of it !

Have you ever wanted to dress like your favorite celebrity ? If so , you are not alone . Celebrities such as Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson have made significant impacts on our society ’ s fashion choices . I ’ m going to give you a few tips on how to copy popular celebrities , Alex Turner , and Taylor Swift ’ s style . Alex Turner is the lead singer of a band called Arctic Monkeys , and Taylor Swift is a very popular pop artist . Both are known for their style . With my help , you can be too .

Coming onto the scene in 2005 with the Arctic Monkeys ’ first album , “ Whatever You Say I Am , That ’ s What I ’ m Not ,” Turner ’ s style was mainly just jeans and t-shirts at first , but as his musical career progressed he developed into a stylish , bold performer . From his perfectly coiffed hair to his stylish leather jacket , he always seems to be dressed very fashionably .

To imitate his classy style , make sure you are always dressed appropriately for the situation . During appearances and performances , he wears a classier suit or dress shirt . Replicate this by investing in a nice blazer or suit jacket that can be warn with jeans or dress pants .

For Turner ’ s relaxed look , wear a nice , clean t-shirt with a leather jacket and jeans . How you dress greatly determines how people perceive you , which I feel Alex Turner has learned over his musical career . If you wanted to be taken seriously in any business , you have to dress the part .

Another celebrity with great fashion is singer Taylor Swift . Whether she ’ s on stage performing in front of millions or just walking around the streets of New York , she always looks sharp . The main reason for her fashion success is her ability to blend colors . Swift takes bright and

vibrant colors and incorporates them into outfits that really allow them to stand out .

My advice would be to think outside of the box when trying to dress like her . Take brighter colors that you usually wouldn ’ t experiment with and try them out . When trying to dress like this star , make sure to try new things and keep an open mind .

Both Alex Turner and Taylor Swift are great examples of how to dress well . One thing they both have in common is that their styles have changed over time and evolved into their signature looks .

With any celebrity , use their styles as a guide to what looks good , and expand upon them to develop your own style . By following these strong examples , you ’ ll be looking like a star in no time !
