Tips for Healthy Beautiful Skin


Healthy beautiful younger looking skin is what everyone
                                                dreams of and is not also too hard to achieve.

1.) First and foremost drink plenty of water. I recommend 8-10 glasses
a day. Keeping your skin moist and refreshed will help fight off wrinkles
and blemishes. FYI: Did you know Smart Water has electrolytes in it?

2.) Maintain a healthy balanced diet with plenty of fruits and veggies.
Eat foods rich in antioxidants. They assist in skin repair and strengthen
blood vessels. Common antioxidants are Vitamins A, C, E and beta
carotene. Berries and other fruit are particularly good.

3.) Moisturize! Apply after a warm face wash or a warm
shower. This helps restore oils and keep skin hydrated.

4.) Regular exercise. This helps keep the skin elasticity
which prevents wrinkles and also exercise is good for
your entire body since it maintains a low amount of body fat.

5.) Maintain a constant sleep pattern. Your body restores
itself and to re-energies the body's organs and skin while
you are sleeping. Having a normal sleep patter will help you
feel more energized and your skin will look healthy and fresh.

6.) Don't squeeze your pimples, black heads, and zits! I
know this is a hard one, believe me. Constant squeezing
of spots causes scarring of your skin. Your skin has the
ability to heal on its own, so give it time.

7.) Don't scrub too hard. When doing so, you remove
your skins required oils that help to regenerate. Wash
lightly in circular motions to be sure your natural oils don't
escape.

8.) Protect your skin from the tanning beds and sun. I know this
is also another hard one. Just like all of you, I don't like to be pale
either. Protecting your skin from UV rays prevents your skin from
premature aging. I make sure I have a foundation with SPF in it and
also a good moisturizer with SPF. Apply SPF everyday rain or shine.
UV rays can still shine through even when it's overcast.

9.) Take one multi-vitamin a day. Keeps your skin fresh and clean.

10.) Last but not least, QUIT SMOKING! Smoking causes premature
aging and yellowing of the teeth and skin.
The aging process alone will bring on wrinkly skin, so lets not hurry the process along!

Cheers to happy healthy beautiful glowing skin!
