5 Practical Tips for Glowing Skin

Your lifestyle choices have a huge influence on your skin. If you aren’t happy with your skin yet, you may try some of these tips for more youthful skin:

Eat well

Experts believe that a diet with a high amount of vitamin C and low intakes of fats and carbohydrates may help keep your skin healthy. Want protection for your skin? Stock up antioxidants. To reduce your chances of getting breakouts, eat complex carbohydrates such as whole grains and pasta, and healthy protein. Keep in mind that dairy products are associated with acne flares. So, if you are acne-prone, you may want to watch your dairy intakes.

Exercise regularly

Your skin greatly benefits from a daily dose of workouts. Exercising stimulate circulation, pushing oxygen and nutrients to your skin. It also gives your collagen production a boost, resulting in  glowing and wrinkle-free skin. Many people assume that exercising makes you sweat, thus clogging your pores. This is not true at all. All you need to do is wash your face thoroughly after a workout. Also, don’t use tight headbands which are known to trap sweat and irritate skin.

Sleep tight

After a few sleepless nights, you will easily notice dark circles, lifeless skin, and puffy eyes. To keep your skin in shape, it’s important to get an 8-hour sleep every night. Your sleeping position matters as well. If you have the habit of putting your face on the pillow, you will get wrinkles at the contact area eventually. Sleeping on your stomach gives your eyes more prominent bags. For the sake of your skin, try to sleep on your back.

Wear sunscreen

Most people have some sun damage. Longer exposure to the sun is linked to an increased risk of skin cancer. To protect your skin, you need to wear broad-spectrum sunscreen all the time. Choose one with zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, or avobenzone and has a minimum SPF of 30. Also, don’t forget to wear protective clothing and stay indoors between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m since that is when the sun rays are strongest.

Wash your skin

As the day goes by, your skin is exposed to tons of pollutants from cigarettes, fumes, and dirt. The only way to keep your skin healthy is to wash it carefully at the end of the day. While some people only need a gentle cleanser, others may benefit more from a good exfoliator, toner, and moisturizer. Even if you have oily skin, you still need to moisturize your skin. To avoid breakouts and clogged pores, buy an oil-free moisturizer.
