How To Get Healthy Skin

You can do your skin no better favor that not using makeup at all. However, there are only a chosen few in this world who can walk out of their home without any makeup on and be able to pull it off as well. The expression called “flawless skin” remains the matter of fairytales for most of us. No matter how hard you try, you are always battling with zits, freckles, wrinkles. And the list keeps on piling up! So, is it possible to get healthy skin at all? Although healthy skin mostly remains the matter of genes, you can still manage to alter your skin to some an extent. In fact, getting glowing and radiant skin is not too difficult, if you follow certain steps correctly. Go ahead and know how to get healthy skin.

 

 

The most important thing is to know your skin type, as to whether you have oily, dry or normal skin. Although it’s mostly genes that decides the type of skin you have, poor nutrition, stress level and pollution also have a say. So, know the basic questions first and take the further steps accordingly.

 

Though this phrase is clichéd phrase, its meaning is not. In fact, exercising is one of the most effective ways to get healthy skin. Regular exercising helps keep radiance and elasticity in the skin. It’s not necessary that you enlist in a gym. Regular walking, swimming and dancing are more than effective too.

 

Make it a daily ritual to apply sunscreen, not only on face, but on all the exposed parts of your body. Buy a suitable, high protection sunscreen lotion and apply it twenty minutes before you step outside.

 

It goes without saying, “you are what you eat”. So, try to have a balanced diet. Combine carbohydrates, proteins and vitamins and steer clear of excess fats and carbohydrates. Although the effect may not reflect overnight, over time you would definitely feel the difference in your skin.

 

Antioxidants slow the aging process and prevent wrinkle formation as well as many other skin imperfections. They also improve the immune system, which keeps you fit. Fruits like blueberry, blackberry, strawberry, grapes and apricots, walnuts, oats and barley are high in antioxidants.

 

Removing make up is much more important than putting it on. Therefore, it is important that you follow a daily regime of cleansing, toning and moisturizing your skin every night, before going to bed. It gives the skin the essential time to recuperate.

 

Sometimes, even with right intention, we are not able to incorporate a rich diet in our daily routine. In that case, vitamin supplements can help us a lot. There are a number of vitamin supplements available in the market. Consult your physician before making them a part of your diet.

 

Sunrays can be very harmful for our skin. So, always use an umbrella or scarf, to cover yourself when outside. You can also wear full-sleeve clothes, if you have to be in sun for too long. 

 

Salmon, mackerel and tuna are some of the foods rich in omega-3 fatty acid. Incorporate them in your diet and see the magic it does to your skin. If you are a vegetarian, you can include milk and cheese in your diet, which are also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids.

 

Last but not the least, drink water! Drinking plenty of water will help flush the toxins out of your body and give you glowing skin. Generally, eight glass of water is recommended in a day, though you can increase it as well. If you intake liquids in other forms as well, all the more better!
