4 Simple Tips for Achieving Healthy Skin

Not everyone is blessed with great looking skin. Some individuals must work hard at looking like they don’t need a dermatologist on speed dial. Unfortunately, there is not a product that supports skin health that everyone can use and achieve a great completion. 

If you are one of the many people that must work at looking your best, here are 4 tips that will help you achieve healthy-looking skin.

1. Get a Good Night’s Sleep

This may seem like a no-brainer, but it is something many individuals neglect in this busy world of ours. There is always one more thing that needs to be done, especially if you are busy parents. Laundry, cooking, cleaning, shopping and countless other things that pull on your time can wreak havoc on your skin as well as your nerves.

Taking time for rest – even just a few more minutes a night – can help keep the stress and wrinkles away from showing on your face. Getting a good night’s sleep can be difficult if you do not learn how to let go of the day’s issues. Placing a journal beside your bed and writing things down, then vowing not to worry about them until the next day could be very helpful.

2. Drink More Water

Many people believe drinking coffee, tea or even soda will keep them hydrated during their busy day. However, only water will fully hydrate your skin and keep it looking healthy. Limiting your consumption of caffeine and sugary drinks will help to hydrate and plump up your skin. 

Water will keep the fine lines and wrinkles away from your face by plumping the skin from the inside out. Deep lines and wrinkles can make you look older than you are. They can also make you seem rundown and tired, even if you are fully rested. So always drink plenty of water during each and every day for great-looking skin.

3. Exercise

You may not think that exercising is good for your skin, only for tightening your loose skin and toning your body. But exercise can have a positive effect on your face and all your skin. By sending oxygen to your epidermis, exercise can keep your skin looking clear and healthy. 

Exercise also helps fight inflammation, which is another culprit of bad skin. When your joints and underlying skin are inflamed, it can cause discoloration in your skin as well as pain. Exercise helps to alleviate swelling, giving your skin a better look and feel.

4. Eat Better

Of course, we have all heard we are what we eat, but eating healthily is beneficial for better-looking skin. When you eat processed, greasy foods, you are going to clog your pores with “gunk.”  You can wash away dirt and grime from your face, but when you are eating poorly, your body will produce an infection from within and that is harder to get rid of. 

Opt for clean eating such as plant-based menus. You can still eat lean meats if you do not want to totally give up on this type of food, but limit it to only a day or two a week.

Be sure to always clean your face at night with a gentle cleanser and do not pick at your skin… it has to last you a lifetime!
