Whether you have dry or oily skin, wrinkles or acne, you can do something to keep your skin looking its best. Healthy skin is built from the inside out.
Drink plenty of water to cleanse your body. Avoid carbonated drinks, alcohol, tea and coffee, energy drinks and sugary juices. All of these substances can cause skin problems for men and women of all ages. Try to drink clean, filtered water all day, every day. This will keep your skin fresh and clear and ensure that all parts of your body are working optimally.
Do at least 15 minutes of light to moderate exercise every day. Make sure you sweat it out. Then shower and gently exfoliate your entire body with a sponge brush or glove. This exercise improves circulation and skin tone.
Gentle skin cleansing is an important part of achieving clear, healthy skin, so make sure you wash your face twice a day according to your age and skin type. Teenagers and those with oily skin should wash their face with a mild, natural soap and then apply an oil-free moisturizer such as aloe gel. Older people and those with dry skin should wash their skin with natural creams or oils and refresh with witch hazel, white wine vinegar or lemon juice. Explore natural alternatives to chemical facial products and try to find a combination that suits your skin type.
Remember, if your skin is healthy and clear, you don't need a lot of make-up. If you must use makeup or skin cream, choose light, natural products. Avoid products that contain a long list of chemicals or oil products such as petrolatum or mineral oil. Instead, choose products that contain natural ingredients, such as light natural oils or aloe gel.
Protect yourself from overexposure to the sun by wearing a floppy hat when out in the sun and wearing loose-fitting long-sleeved shirts, blouses, skirts and trousers made from natural fibres. Do not use commercial sunscreens unless you know you will be exposed to the hot sun for a long time. Excessive use of products containing these chemicals can be harmful to your health.
Maintain a good environment for your skin. If you smoke, stop smoking. Don't let others smoke in the house. Use a humidifier to keep the humidity in your house at a reasonable level. Avoid exposing your skin to extreme environmental temperatures, both hot and cold.
If you eat healthily, drink enough water, get enough exercise and take good care of your skin, you will find that your complexion improves after a while. If you design your home so that your skin is comfortable, you will be too. Happiness, feeling good, being treated well and eating well are all important factors for healthy, glowing skin.
