Oftentimes, the radiant, glowing and smooth skin
of a person gets our attention, and be
ultimately envious. The truth is nobody can
blame us. A beautiful skin is always worthy of
attention and praise. It spells great
responsibility for the person to take care of
his skin that way. And although only very few
people can actually have the perfect skin and
complexion, we too can do something to bring out
the best in our skin.
Here are quick and simple ways that we can care
for our skin.
1. Nourish your skin by eating the proper
foods. This means healthy and balanced diet.
Healthy and balanced diet promotes our general
well- being and optimizes our body to function
at its best. To have
a healthy skin, eat plenty of seed food i.e.
fruits that contain seeds, vegetables - organic
vegetables are better as it contains additional
nutrients
2. Drink plenty of water. The
recommended eight glasses of water a day is
essential in maintaining the skin’s elasticity
and suppleness. Water also clears your skin and
aids in the proper elimination of waste.
Remember, less waste products in your body, more
beautiful skin.
3. Exercise regularly. Exercise is good
for our heart and body. Even our skin benefits
with exercise by increasing blood circulation
and thus bringing enough oxygen and nutrients to
the rest of our body. Exercise also triggers
the body to produce more sebum that is the
body’s natural moisturizer.
4. Be smoke and alcohol- free.
Smoking tends to
destroy the Vitamin C in your body, damage the
elastic tissues that keep the skin tight.
Drinking liquor on the other hand tends to
expand your blood vessels causing red spots and
itchiness on your skin.
5. Cleanse it. Cleaning plays an
important part in the overall wellness of your
skin. Experts agree that we should gently clean
our skin; tone it; moisturize it; and exfoliate
it.
6. Protect your skin. Harsh elements
can severely damage your skin and can lead to
irritation and infection. Wear sunscreen with
at least SPF 15 every time you go out of the
sun. For outdoor activity, use SPF 45 because
you'll be perspiring, which dilutes the
sunscreen. For those who are very fair, who have
red hair, blue eyes and freckles, add a total
block that contains titanium or zinc.
7. Rest. Get plenty of rest. You are
giving your skin a time to rejuvenate and heal
while you rest.
Stress is extremely bad for your skin and body.
It indirectly creates instability in your
hormonal system, which in turn leads to more
skin problems like breakouts and acne.
