Eating a healthy diet

There is an old saying that goes “You are what you eat”. This is especially true when it comes to taking care of your skin and body. Help nourish your skin from the inside out. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables that are high in anti-oxidants to protect your skin from cellular damage caused by free radicals. Also include foods that are rich in Vitamin E, like avocado, almonds, corn and sunflower oils and hazelnuts.

Taking the best care of your skin and hair

Fresh and younger-looking skin does not happen overnight. You must put some time and effort into it. Always keep your skin soft, clean and moisturized. Look for products that are suitable for your hair and skin type. Avoid using strong and harsh products that can damage your skin, especially if you have a sensitive skin type.

Use lotion instead of soap

Some soaps contain harsh ingredients that can strip your skin of its natural moisture. Most contain dyes, heavy fragrances, parabens and other harmful chemicals that can lead to dry and irritated skin. If you want your skin to be healthy and well-moisturized, use a lotion instead.

Eat fresh foods in small portions

We live in a society that delights in giant portions of food. Eating heavy meals or large snacks should be avoided as they can be hard to digest, cause bloating, and leave us feeling sluggish and tired.

Instead of having 3 huge meals a day, try eating 6 small meals. Eating smaller portions, especially of fresh whole foods, increases your metabolism and stabilizes your energy and sugar levels.

Go to the spa

Spending some quiet time at the spa has a lot of benefits. Aside from the obvious reason that it helps you relax and relieves stress, spending time in the spa is also beneficial for your skin. Spa treatments help to exfoliate the skin, refine the pores and promote cellular renovation. An hour body massage improves circulation of blood.

Go to the dermatologist

If you have skin problems like acne, dry skin and/or breakouts, going to a professional is always the best choice. A dermatologist can assess the condition of your skin and provide accurate and necessary treatment. A regular visit to a dermatologist can give you flawless and younger looking skin.

Avoid heavy makeup

Whilst it is a good thing to look presentable all the time, using too much makeup can take a toll on your skin. It can clog your pores and cause further breakouts and irritations. Avoid using heavy makeup and make sure to wash your face before you sleep at night.

Don’t switch products so often

With so many beauty products on the market, it’s easy to switch from one product to the next on a regular basis. Some of us switch out a product the minute we are not satisfied with the result. Switching products too often is not advisable.

It takes 21 days for a skin cell to work its way to the top of the epidermis. Give your new anti-aging cream at least four weeks to work.

Keep your face calm

Wrinkles and fine lines can form if you are always frowning. Having a happy perspective in life can help to achieve younger looking skin. Smile all the time as it exercises your facial muscles and helps to avoid wrinkles and fine lines.

All of these practices are not only cost-efficient, but are also effective in achieving healthy and glowing skin. Start doing them today and you will be young forever!
