How to Keep Your Skin Happy and Healthy?

Bye-bye clogged pores, nasty oils, and other impurities. The skin on your face has a life of its own. Or does it? In reality, our skin is impacted by what we eat and drink, by the environment we’re in, and above all, by how we treat it.

Hydrate for a brighter day

One of the most important things to do if we’re aiming for clear skin is to drink plenty of water. The magical elixir to improving overall health, promoting youthful glow and breakout-free skin is the good old glass of water. Actually eight of them a day, on average. Keeping yourself hydrated helps your body remove waste - including harmful substances that damage your skin. It also aids in flushing out toxins and free radicals which can damage your skin. And it helps to keep the skin moisturized as well - which is especially important during the cold months when we’re more likely to be facing dry, cracked, and irritated patches of skin. When you prioritize drinking enough water, you needn’t spend as much on other skin solutions because you’ll be working from the inside out. You’ll also find that your skin looks plumper and more radiant when you’re well-hydrated - it really is the best (and cheapest!) skincare solution around.

Eat clean & use sunscreen

Most of us aren’t lucky enough to eat whatever we want and get away with it. After a night of indulging in deep-fried food, we see the consequences as early as the next morning when the first breakouts pop up. Therefore we should be careful regarding our food choices. Of course, onion rings and fries are delicious, but making an effort to eat healthier and balance it all out could improve your skin remarkably. Eating clean is important for your overall health and wellbeing. Consuming fresh, wholesome foods provides your body with the nutrients it needs to function properly and stay healthy. Eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can help prevent serious health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. And, as we mentioned before, your skin will just start to glow! [caption id="attachment_7959" align="aligncenter" width="801"]

But they are so much worse in the long run: extra wrinkles and lines and other nasty aging signs. Please, for the love of health and skin, use sunscreen! Whether you’re headed to the beach or just taking a walk around the block, it’s important to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Exposure to UV rays can cause premature aging of the skin, wrinkles, and other changes. It can also lead to more serious problems like skin cancer. Sunscreen helps protect your skin by absorbing or reflecting the sun’s harmful UV rays. It’s important to use sunscreen even on cloudy days because UV rays can penetrate clouds. And don’t forget to reapply sunscreen every two hours, or more often if you’re sweating or swimming.

Cleanse the oil, dirt and sweat away

A good skincare routine goes a long way. Start with washing your face twice a day! It’s the golden standard, proven to be the most beneficial. To make sure you’re really removing all the damaging dirt, bacteria and makeup residue use a facial cleansing brush.
