Top 10 Lifestyle Do's For Great Skin
Skin Renewal Is More Than Skin Care
The adage "Beauty comes from within" holds more than a grain of truth. Equally, if not more vital than skin care is the need to feed and nourish your skin from within. This is because all basic beauty begins with the glow of good health.
1 Eat a wide variety of food for balanced nutrition
Balanced nutrition provides a wide range of vitamins, minerals, proteins and essential fatty acids needed for healthy skin.
2 Include lots of colourful fruits and vegetables in your diet
A great source of fibres, antioxidants and vitamins A, C and E which slows aging.
3 Eat as organic and fresh as possible
Decreases the number of chemicals ingested which may harm your body and skin.
4 Reduce your salt, fat and sugar intake
Too much of these will impede cell repair and cause water retention.
5 Drink plenty of water
Water helps in the elimination of waste and toxins from the body.
6 Limit intake of alcohol and caffeinated beverages like tea, coffee
Alcohol and caffeine dehydrate the skin causing premature facial wrinkles.
7 Avoid smoking
Smoking accelerates premature facial wrinkles.
8 Exercise regularly
Exercise aids blood flow which is beneficial to your skin.
9 Get serious about stress reduction
Negative stress causes frequent skin outbreaks. Relax.
10 Get adequate sleep
Nature’s repair workshop, sleep allows for accelerated repair and regeneration of cells.
