Skin care is an essential part of any health and wellness regimen. Whether you are battling acne and acne scars, dealing with psoriasis, or if you are in need of an eczema treatment, the experts at Heibel Dermatology are dedicated to helping you nourish your skin. These 5 skin care tips are guaranteed to leave your skin feeling healthy.

• Protect yourself from the sun. While UV rays can be helpful for those with psoriasis, it's always important to protect your skin with strong sunblock. Apply sunscreen generously every two hours, and make sure you use SPF 15 or above. 
• Treat your skin gently. Harsh soaps can strip the oils from skin, removing an essential protective barrier. Instead, choose a mild soap. Hot water also strips the skin of necessary and healthy oils; warm water is much more gentle on the skin. Additionally, instead of rubbing your skin dry, blot it with a towel. This technique will help the skin retain its moisture. 
• Eat a healthy diet. Make sure you are eating a variety of vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains. The more colorful your plate, the better! By incorporating leafy greens and colorful vegetables and fruits into your meals, you are also ensuring that your body receives essential vitamins and nutrients. The healthier your body is, the healthier your skin will look and feel.  
• Moisturize. Choose the moisturizer that's right for you. There are moisturizers available for oily and dry skin. If you have acne, look for "noncomedogenic" skin care products, as they do not cause acne or clog pores.  Moisturizing also helps eczema and psoriasis tremendously. 
• Manage stress. Stress can trigger breakouts and other skin problems. By scaling back and prioritizing, you can manage stress effectively, which will help your skin regain its health.
