Tips for Healthy and beautiful Skin

These skin care tips can help you how to achieve and maintain beautiful skin throughout your life:

1. DRINK MORE WATER
Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water a day. This will help hydrate your cells and keep your complexion at its best.

2. DAYTIME MOISTURIZERS
Use daytime moisturizers, foundations or creams with UV protection. The best time to apply a moisturizer to the skin is immediately following a bath or shower.

3. MINIMIZE SUN EXPOSURE
The sun’s rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., especially between noon and 2 p.m. When in the sun, wear a broad-brimmed hat and sunglasses with UV protective lenses.

4. STOP SMOKING
Smoking causes premature aging and wrinkling of the face.

5. EAT YOUR VEGGIES
The saying, “You are what you eat,” is truer now than ever. Studies show that food not only nourishes the body but also has a marked impact on the skin. Skin wrinkling can be influenced by the types of foods people eat. Higher intakes of meat, dairy and sugar products create more stress and damage on our bodies but high intakes of vegetables, legumes, olives & fruit protects our skin against this damage.

6. TAKE YOUR FISH OILS
Ingestion of fish oils for three months was found to significantly increase one’s ability to tolerate the sun.

7. NOURISH YOUR SKIN FROM THE OUTSIDE IN
More evidence confirms that certain vitamin and antioxidant extracts, when applied topically, improves the health and appearance of the skin. Look for vitamins C & E, coenzyme Q10 and green tea extract, to not only improve the skin’s appearance, but also to protect the skin from precancerous spots!
