Car maintenance and skin care

Real petrolheads love nothing more than tinkering with their car, fitting new accessories and generally making sure the mechanics of their vehicle are pristine. This often means working outside where your skin can be battered by the elements, but even those who can work in a garage environment will know that they can get messy.

Cleansing the skin

Working with oil, dirt and grime all day can play havoc with the skin. Ensuring you keep a good skin care routine, such as using the Verso Skincare range daily will help to keep some of the damage caused by the pollutants at a minimum.

It will help to keep the skin looking bright and clear, and failure to mantain a good routine can make your skin look dull and dirty. The grime can also become ground in and very difficult to remove. The Verso skincare range includes everything you would need to keep your skin clean, but it is also important to stay hydrated too.

Drink water

Working in a garage or out in the sun can be hot work. If you make sure you drink plenty of water you will not only keep yourself cool but you will also stay hydrated, which is one of the best things you can do for your skin. Drinking water has so many other health benefits too, it is good for your joints and also your mind. When working on cars you need to have quick reflexes and clear thoughts, making a mistake when fixing the car can mean a fault occurs when driving and that could be catastrophic.

Car Care

Caring for your car is just as important as caring for your skin. It also works the same way. Just as you need to stay hydrated, so does your car. Make sure there is always oil, so check your levels regularly. If you notice that the oil is looking a little dark, it might be time for a complete oil change, including filters.

Servicing

If you service your car yourself try to do it at least once a year, preferably twice if possible. This will ensure you pick up on any potential proplems early and therefore increase the lifespan of the vehicle. If you pay to have this done at a service center, you are almost guaranteed a professional job where nothing is missed, so once a year should be more than enough.
