Everyone wants their skin to look at its best.
Good skin care and healthy life style can help delay the natural aging process and prevent various skin problems.
Skin is the body’s mirror of our inner health and wellness, both physical and emotional.
Get naturally glowing skin through these simple steps:
Protect Ourselves from Sun:
One of the most important ways to take care of our skin is to protect it from sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems – as well as increase the risk of skin cancer.
For the most complete protection:
Use Sun Screen: Use a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. When we are outdoors, reapply sunscreen every four hours.
Seek Shade: Avoid the sun when its rays are strongest.
Wear Protective Clothing: Cover our skin with tightly woven long sleeved shirts, long pants and wide – brimmed hats.
Even though we need to be careful out in sun light, do not forget that sun is the beast source of Vitamin D. Our bodies make Vitamin D when we are out in sun. Early morning sunlight will be the best for this.
Treat the Skin Gently:
Skin should be treated very gently. Daily cleansing and shaving can take a toll on our skin.
Limit Bath Time: Hot water and long showers or bath removes oils from our skin .Limit our bath time and use warm rather than hot water.
Avoid Strong sops: Strong soaps and detergents can strip oils from our skin. Instead, choose mild cleansers.
Shave carefully: To protect and lubricate skin, apply shaving cream or gel before shaving. For the closest shave use a clean, sharp razor. Shave in the direction the hair grows, not against it.
Pat Dry: After washing or bathing, gently pat the skin dry with a towel so that some moisture remains in the skin.
Scrub and Exfoliate:
One of the great ways to get a glowing skin is scrub and exfoliates. Exfoliation removes dead skin and dirt and keeps our skin cleaner and healthier. Doing it regularly can create glowing smooth skin. But if you do it too much skin can be damaged. So choose it according to your skin type and general skin health.
Moisturize:
Another important basic for a glowing skin is moisturizing. It is essential to hydrate our skin to make it smooth and soft to the touch. It will keep us looking radiant and glowing throughout the day. Benefits of moisturizer include:
Improved Blood Circulation
Nourish the skin and prevent dehydration of the skin
Reduce the pore size of the skin thus preventing the setting down of the dirt on the skin
Can maintain the hydration of the skin
Protects the skin various factors effecting the skin
Maintain the elasticity of the skin thus making tight and soft and avoiding sagging of the skin
Eat Healthy Diet:
A healthy diet can help us to look our best. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. If we can manage small meals through the day balanced with protein, good fats, and low glycemic carbohydrates will give our body what it needs to be balanced from a stress standpoint and a blood sugar regulation. Good skin is a reflection of good digestive system.
Drink purified water:
Drink at least twelve cups of filtered water, preferably away from food for optimal absorption. Remember the skin the largest organ and needs to be hydrated. So increase the water intake.
Exercise and Circulation:
If we can move our body for at least 30minutes a day, we are well on our way to getting a nice glow. Our blood is the body’s transport mechanism of nutrients to our skin so the more we circulate the blood through body the more vibrant we will look. Also sweating every day is a great way to detoxify through skin.
Avoid Excess Sugar:
Excess sugar is one of the main reasons for premature aging. The more sugar we eat the more we sugar entering in our blood stream which creates many damages to our skin. It may seem impossible to reduce our sugar intake but it’s not. Reduce the amount of sugar in daily coffee or tea by half. Every week choose one thing we are going to do to decrease the amount of sugar we consume.
Clean the Skin:
Never go to bed without cleaning skin. Our skin is an organ and absorbs whatever we put on it. Sometimes if don’t clean our skin, the pores get clogged and leads to acne, blackheads and breakouts. If we wear makeup it is important to clean the skin daily.
Smile, Laugh, Breath and de - Stress:
Stress is a huge factor in how we look. High stress hormone has been linked to a number of health issues including poor skin tone.
Laughter, breathing, sleeping and other stress reducing techniques will create wonders.
Protect our skin to keep it looking luminous. Be comfortable with our skin.
