Clear pores - Seven Quick and Simple Reminders for Healthy Skin:
Healthy
skin is a sign of good health. The skin is the largest vital organ in our
body comprising of about two billion cells and has a surface area of around
two square meters.
Oftentimes, the radiant, glowing and smooth skin of a person gets our
attention, and be ultimately envious. The truth is nobody can blame us. A
beautiful skin is always worthy of attention and praise. It spells great
responsibility for the person to take care of his skin that way. And
although only very few people can actually have the perfect skin and
complexion, we too can do something to bring out the best in our skin.
Here are
quick and simple ways that we can care for our skin.
1.
Nourish your skin by eating the proper foods. This means healthy and
balanced diet. Healthy and balanced diet promotes our general well- being
and optimizes our body to function at its best.
To have a healthy skin, eat plenty of seed food i.e. fruits that contain
seeds, vegetables - organic vegetables are better as it contains additional
nutrients.
2.
Drink plenty of water. The recommended eight glasses of water a day is
essential in maintaining the skin’s elasticity and suppleness. Water also
clears your skin and aids in the proper elimination of waste. Remember,
less waste products in your body, more beautiful skin.
3.
Exercise regularly. Exercise is good for our heart and body. Even our
skin benefits with exercise by increasing blood circulation and thus
bringing enough oxygen and nutrients to the rest of our body. Exercise also
triggers the body to produce more sebum that is the body’s natural
moisturizer.
4. Be
smoke and alcohol- free. Smoking tends to
destroy the Vitamin C in your body, damage the elastic tissues that keep the
skin tight. Drinking liquor on the other hand tends to expand your blood
vessels causing red spots and itchiness on your skin.
5. Cleanse it. Cleaning plays an important part in the overall
wellness of your skin. Experts agree that we should gently clean our skin;
tone it; moisturize it; and exfoliate it.
6. Protect your skin. Harsh elements can severely damage your skin
and can lead to irritation and infection. Wear sunscreen with at least SPF
15 every time you go out of the sun.
For outdoor activity, use SPF 45 because you'll be perspiring, which dilutes
the sunscreen. For those who are very fair, who have red hair, blue eyes and
freckles, add a total block that contains titanium or zinc.
7.
Rest. Get plenty of rest. You are giving your skin a time to
rejuvenate and heal while you rest. Stress is
extremely bad for your skin and body. It indirectly creates instability in
your hormonal system, which in turn leads to more skin problems like
breakouts and acne. |
