With our busy lives, it can be hard to find the time to give our bodies the attention they deserve. But if you don't find that time, it shows, and you feel it. Healthy bodies look better, and they feel better. So take the time to take care of yourself, and feel great about doing it.

First and foremost, keep it clean! There is nothing more fundamental to your body's overall health than basic hygiene. Everyone should bathe thoroughly every day, without neglecting any part-no pinky is too small, no toe is too far away for the scrub-brush. Not only is a good scrub sanitary, but it helps keep your skin glowing by removing grime and dead skin cells to reveal the fresh, beautiful skin below. And a relaxing bath or shower is good for your mental health. Use your bathing time as personal mental-health time, letting yourself unwind a little bit.

Stress may be psychological, but it has physical manifestations that show big time- blemishes and cold sores can be brought on by un-managed stress, so clear your mind as well as your skin.To continue to protect that skin throughout the day, you should use a moisturizer to help fend ...
... off dry skin and itchiness, as well as to protect it against the cold and wind. And to truly do everything that you can to keep your skin healthy and young, your moisturizer should always have UV protection in it-dermatologists recommend a minimum of SPF 15. Nothing wrinkles and ages your skin like the sun, so protect yourself from it every day, even cloudy days, and in the winter, and use heavy sunscreen when you know youÕre going to be out in the sun for long periods. A tan may look nice for now, but you'll thank yourself for the sunscreen a few years down the road, when all of your tan friends look like an old leather handbags and your skin is still smooth as porcelain.

To maximize your body's overall health and look, life habits count big. You can put all the cucumbers on your eyes that you want, but if you aren't getting enough sleep at night, that puffiness and those under-eye bags aren't going anywhere. You can moisturize your skin, and use the best shampoos and conditioners, but if you aren't eating a healthy, vitamin-rich diet, it will show in your complexion and the shine of your hair. Pay attention to the basics. Get eight hours of sleep, plenty of exercise, and eat a well-balance diet from diverse sources, and you won't just feel incredible-you'll look fantastic!
