Inner beauty

Inner beauty is a concept used to describe the positive aspects of something that is not physically observable.
While most species use physical traits and pheromones to attract mates, some humans claim to rely on the inner beauty of their choices. Qualities including kindness, sensitivity, tenderness or compassion, creativity and intelligence have been said to be desirable since antiquity. However new research comparing what humans claim to find attractive to their actual mating habits underlines the superficiality of "inner beauty," underlining the fact that the human animal relies on physical traits and pheromones just like every other animal to find a mate. That said, whether "inner beauty" does or does not measurably affect humans' mating habits, some traits classified as "inner beauty" do give an evolutionary survival advantage to either the individual or mating couple or group or all three.

Keep Your Skin Healthy

The best way to keep your skin healthy,
Limit time in the sun - Try to stay out of the sun during 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. This is when the sun’s rays are strongest. Don’t be fooled by cloudy skies. The sun’s rays can pass through clouds. Even people use to get sunburned, if they are in water, so be careful when you are in a pool, lake, or the ocean.

Use sunscreen - Look for a sunscreen lotion with an SPF (sun protection factor) number of 15 or higher. It is better to choose sunscreens with “broad spectrum” on the label. “Water resistant” sunscreen stays on your skin even if you get wet or sweat, but it isn’t waterproof and needs to be put on about every 2 hours.

Wear protective clothing - A hat with a wide brim can shade your neck, ears, eyes, and head. Also look for sunglasses that block 99 to 100 percent of the sun’s rays. Incase, if you have to be in the sun, wear loose, lightweight, long-sleeved shirts and long pants or long skirts.

Avoid tanning - Don’t use sunlamps or tanning beds, because tanning pills are not approved by the FDA and it might not be safe.

Your skin may change with age. But remember, there are things you can do to help. Check your skin often. If you find any changes that worry you, see your doctor
