Taking care of your skin is not
about going to cosmetic treatments and regular spa visits. It’s all about your
daily habits that will serve as the first line of defense against aging and
irritations. Your lifestyle plays an important role as the products you use to
have perfect skin all over your body. And by adopting the following daily
habits you will be on the right track to having beautiful and healthy
skin.
 
 
 

1.   Switch
to a healthier diet

Excess sugar is one of the
biggest enemies of your skin. High glycemic index foods like candy and white
carbs lead to glycosylation which weakens the collagen. So, to have gorgeous
skin you have to switch to a healthier diet full of antioxidants, vitamin C and
omega-3 fatty acids.
 
Try some of the

healthy smoothies

with kale, berries, and
walnuts to increase the intake of these important minerals and vitamins. Avoid
or completely stop eating fast food which is full of trans fats that cause skin
inflammations like acne and accelerate aging.

 
 

2.   Find
your ideal beauty regime

A proper beauty regime depends on
your skin type and whether you are sensitive to some of the ingredients in
cosmetic products. However, it also depends on having the patience to do it
every morning and evening for the best possible results.
 

Besides
cleansers, always use moisturizer even if you have combination or oily skin to
hydrate your skin. Since UV rays are responsible for aging and some skin
diseases, using

sunscreen

on a daily basis will protect you
and give you a radiant look.

 

3.   Improve
your sleep

Sacrificing your sleep is one of
the biggest mistakes you can make that will greatly affect your skin. Having at
least 7 hours of

uninterrupted sleep

every night will
regenerate your cells and rejuvenate your body and mind. This means you will
look more youthful and avoid getting dark circles under your eyes in the
morning. So, remove electronic devices from your bedroom and play soothing
sounds to easily fall asleep and wake up looking refreshed.

4.   Make
time for massage

Stress and tension make your body
produce more cortisol which breaks down elastin and collagen – two chemicals
crucial for healthy skin. Massage can help you to relax and avoid getting some
stress-induced skin conditions like psoriasis and rosacea.

Daily self-massage

is something you can do
over coffee and in less than 10 minutes that will leave you energized and with
a healthy complexion.

})();

 

 
 

5.   Get
yourself moving

Exercising every day sounds like
too much work for your already busy schedule, but the truth is you need only 30
minutes to feel the benefits. You will free your body of toxins by sweating and
get a healthier appearance. And the best thing is that you don’t have to go
through the soul cycle to have healthier skin.
A simple physical activity like
walking will also have help your cells renew and slow down the aging process.
Moreover, it will boost the blood flow all over your body and get more oxygen
to your organs including the skin.  
 
 

6.   Start
using a bidet

Every piece of your skin needs to
be healthy, even the parts that are not visible which tend to be the most
sensitive to irritations. One of those parts is your genitals which are exposed
to the daily wearing of clothes and use of toilet papers. So, pick one of the
available varieties of

jet spray bidets

and protect your nether
regions from abrasive dry wipes. Above all, bidets will improve your hygiene
and preserve already sensitive skin from bacteria and inflammation.

 

 

7.   Say
bye-bye to bad habits

Nicotine reduces blood flow
depriving your skin of oxygen and leading to discoloration. And while

quitting smoking

is not easy, it is well worth
the trouble especially when it comes to your skin and overall health.
Additionally, alcohol can be a damaging factor since it dehydrates the body and
leads to more wrinkles. It also has inflammatory properties causing flushing of
the skinny and persistent redness as you continue drinking.

 

Finally

Having beautiful and healthy skin
includes a series of lifestyle changes that sometimes seem hard and too
demanding. However, take one step at a time so you wouldn’t overwhelm yourself
and hinder your efforts. And in a short time, you will notice the first signs
of radiant complexion and fresher look.
