Beautiful Skin
Beautiful skin depends on a number of factors. Your skin needs the right nutrients to fight off damage. Protecting yourself from harmful chemicals while getting enough sleep, relaxation and exercise will all help you maintain a healthy glow. Some effective tips for promoting beautiful skin and healthy living are given here.
Guidelines for Maintaining Beautiful Skin
- Drink plenty of water. Dehydration causes skin to look to look dull, saggy and loose. So, drink plenty of water to avoid this, get beautiful skin and promote healthy living.
- Have a healthy diet. Without the right nutrients, your skin cannot undo the damage that it sustains on a daily basis. Hence, a healthy diet for beautiful skin is necessary. Balance your diet to get the right amount of proteins and unsaturated fats along with fresh, green vegetables full of healthy living antioxidants (blueberries, pomegranates, spinach, nuts and green tea) and vitamin C (citrus fruits).
- Limit your sun exposure. Small amounts of sun exposure helps in vitamin D production, but too much sun will damage your skin. Always wear your sunglasses, and use sunscreen of at least SPF 30.
- Cleanse your body. Detoxify your body by having a glass of water with squeezed lemon first thing in the morning to remove toxins and promote energy production. This helps in obtaining beautiful skin and also is part of a healthy living style.
- Reduce stress. High levels of stress will compromise your skin. Consider yoga and meditation for inner peace, healthy living and beautiful skin.
- Sleep. You skin rejuvenates and repairs itself mostly while you are asleep. Make sure that you sleep for eight hours a night for healthy living and beautiful skin.
- Exercise. It increases the circulation of oxygen and nutrients and releases toxins through sweat, which leads to clearer, more beautiful skin and also promotes healthy living. Remember to smile. It’s the best exercise for your face!
