Do you take your skin for granted? If so you are not alone, most people do not think seriously about the role their skin plays in protecting their inner organs or what steps they should take to keep it healthy! How do you keep your skin healthy? Do you need special products? These questions and many more will be answered below.
Barometer
Did you know your skin is known as the barometer of the human body? Often, the first indicators of health problems will show up on your skin. Even small disruptions in the body can result in blemishes on your skin. Think back to the last time you were under a great deal of stress, did you notice a proliferation of acne?
Skin cells are replenished every month. When the body is healthy the replacement cells will be healthy as well, and your skin will radiate. On the other hand, if you have been leading an unhealthy lifestyle of poor nutrition, sleep loss and bad habits your cells will suffer and so will your complexion.
Hydration
The first task on your skin care list is proper hydration. The human body is 60% water which means to be healthy you must get adequate hydration on a daily basis. There are several ways to keep the body and your skin hydrated, drinking water for example, but did you know it is also important to moisturize from the outside? Applying moisturizing lotion right after a shower for instance will help trap hydration in the skin where it belongs.
Diet
Are you eating a healthy diet full of fresh fruits and vegetables? Remember, nourishing the skin begins on the inside of the body, which means a healthy diet is essential to healthy skin! Look for foods that are high in omega 3 fatty acids, anti-inflammatories and flavonoids. The omegas protect your skin from sun damage while anti-inflammatories can help reduce acne and rosacea breakouts.
