Tips for Healthy Skin

Mind is All

Most women are concerned about the health of their skin. They are happy to apply a ton of different chemicals to peal, moisturize, and shrink pores. Which is fine and good, except most women miss the tips that can get their skin going in a healthy direction. By following these tips you can really increase the glow and health of your skin.

Drinking more water is one of the easiest things to do. This may come as a shock but one of the best things you can do for your skin is make sure you are hydrated. Carry a water bottle around with you. There are some arguements on how much water you should be drinking. Some recommend eight glasses a day while others use a formula where you take you weight divided by 2, and that is how many ounces (for example 150 / 2 = 75 ounces). No matter which you follow the point is to drink lots of it. If your skin stays hydrated from the inside you skin will look considerably more healthy on the outside.

Another great tip for your skin is to wear a good 30 SPF sunscreen. The days of a “healthy tan” are quickly coming to an end as more and more data shows that the sun damages your skin and causes premature aging. The key to dealing with this is to apply a good sunscreen preferably with an SPF of at least 15. Furthermore you also reduce the chance of melanoma, which can not only make your skin less the lovely but it can also kill you.

The third tip is eating correctly. More research is being done about this all of the time. The mainstream is starting to get introduced to this data in books like Feed Your Skin Starve Your Wrinkles . By eating foods high in natural oils such as nuts, and antioxidant rich foods such as fruits and vegetables you ultimately slow down the aging in your body and this clearly includes your skin.

So don’t toss out all of your skin care routine, but keep in mind that you need to start from the base to truly get healthy skin. None of these tips are hard to include into your routine.
