5 Ways to Keep Your Skin Healthy & Glowing

  



Why Face skin care is more important?

It is because your face skin is thinner than your body’s skin and it is more sensitive.

 

Those who take the time to wash their face in the morning and at night are more likely to be making healthy choices throughout their day. Skin care can be combined with a thorough oral care and hair care routine. Doing all of these things may help motivate you to eat better and exercise as well. It all adds up to a happier, healthier you.

It is a pretty well-known fact that you will feel better when you look better. Having a daily skin care routine helps you to look your best and put your best foot forward when you go out into the world.

 

Simple ways to take care of your face is to apply these points in your life

·         Live Stress Free

Now will discuss on what to eat and what not to eat when it comes to a proper skin care routine.

 



1.                        Water

Water keeps your body hydrated and refreshed and helps maintain your skin's elasticity.

Water smoothens bowel movement and resolves the problems of constipation, further helps in controlling heat in your body as a result acne on back and face can be avoided.

Make sure you drink a total of 3 to 4 liters of water a day and avoid drinking water half hour before the meal and one hour after the meal.

 

Below are the detailed benefits of Water:

  1. Lose weight. Water is a natural appetite suppressant and, if consumed before a meal, can reduce your overall calorie intake. It's also the original zero-calorie diet drink.

  2. Glow. Water is known to cure dry, itchy skin as well as increase the skin's overall elasticity, leaving you looking fresher and younger.

  3. Productivity. Staying hydrated helps keep you stay focused and alert, therefor increasing productivity and overall concentration.

  4. No more migraines. Headaches and back pains are primarily caused by dehydration. Drinking your recommended daily amount of water could drastically reduce these pains.

  5. Smoothens movements. Water regulates your digestion by speeding up the metabolism and allowing you to have a daily bowel movement.

  6. No more aches. Hydration helps with pains like cramping and arthritis. It lubricates joints and can even prevent muscle sprains.

  7. Immune system. Water improves your immune system. With a little lemon, it can also help prevent respiratory disease, intestinal issues as well as heart attacks.

  8. Avoid Cancer. Drinking the daily recommended amount of water is thought to help reduce the risk of bladder and colon cancer by diluting cancer-causing agents in urine.

 

2.                        Workout



During Workout, there's increased blood flow to the skin. This increased blood flow causes the pores to open.

As long as you have clean skin before sweating, then the act can actually help prevent acne and if your skin is not clean this might lead to acne. The reason for this is that sweat flushes out your pores, eliminating dirt and debris. It's recommended to shower or at least wash your face after you sweat profusely so that the debris and sweat don't sit on your skin.

 

The points you need to take care when you are working out:

1.       Use clean towel. Sweating is great for your skin unless you leave it there to dry, which may clog the pores and lead to acne, make sure to use a clean towel to wipe off the sweat while working out.

                                             

2.       Don’t touch your face. I suggest you to make a habit of not touching your face with your hands during a workout because any bacteria, oils, or dirt that you've touched can get transferred to your skin, contributing to clogged pores and infections.

 

3.       Wash your face immediately after workout. Simply cleanse gently, hydrate and apply sunscreen. If you work out in the morning or at night, do your full skin-care routine right after the workout.

 

3.                        Face Wash



Washing your face…it seems so easy, right? But, a lot of people seriously mess up their skin over time because they’ve never learned the proper technique. Yes, there’s a right and wrong way to clean your skin.                

Here are four things you should “Do” when washing your face:

1.       Do Wash Your Hands First. Since washing your face with foul fingers sort of nullifies the general purpose, isn't that right? So I recommend you to thoroughly wash your hands and make sure you get all of the soap off prior to touching your face. This way, the chemicals from the hand soap don’t react with or irritate the sensitive skin on your face.”

 

2.       Do Wash Your Face Twice a Day. Keep your face clean. Whether or not you have acne, it's important to wash your face twice daily to remove impurities, dead skin cells, and extra oil from your skin's surface. If you have very oily skin, wash your face with a glycolic acid or salicylic acid cleanser.

 

3.       Do Remove Your Makeup First. Use a gentle makeup remover to get the job done before you start actually cleansing — especially before bed. Pores are used to purge out toxins overnight and if they're clogged, all that will be upheld up and look clogged.

 

4.       Do Wash Your Face After Your Hair. It’s impossible to wash your hair without having some of the product run down your face, which can lead to clogged pores and its way better to wait until you step out of the shower to wash your face. 

 

Your facial skin is very delicate and does need proper cleansing to stay healthy. However, too much attention could do more harm than good.

Here are four things you should “Never Do” when washing your face.

1.       Never use harsh cleansers. Using a soap or trying new skincare products, typically a new cleanser can cause a phenomenon called “skin purging” in which the toxins that once laid dormant underneath your skin quickly rise to the surface to form blemishes.

 

2.       Never use Hot Water. Hot water strips the skin of its natural oils and healthy bacteria, which plays a major role in keeping moisture in—and the bad stuff out. And because dryness triggers the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum, hot water can worsen pre-existing acne or cause a breakout. For facial washing, the best water temperature is warm.

 

3.       Never Scrub. Be gentle with your skin. Don’t scrub your face with a washcloth or harsh exfoliating products. Yes, dead skin cells and cleansers should be removed but they shouldn’t be rubbed off with force.

 

4.       Never Apply Moisturizer to Dry Skin. After you wash your face, pat your skin dry and leave a little excess moisture behind, because when you apply moisturizer to damp skin, it helps trap water on the surface of skin, ensuring your face is hydrated and smooth. Applying moisturizer to dry skin is just wasteful.

 

 

 

4.                        Diet



With regards to keeping a solid eating routine, you most likely endeavor to eat as healthfully strong as possible, while allowing yourself to have a slice of cake here and there. Everything in moderation is the right mantra to prescribe to, but if you notice your cheat days are changing more than your waistline and causing you to break out, you might want to turn to your diet to solve your skin issues. Our skin reflects our overall health, so a well-balanced diet will help improve your skin’s natural glow.

 

Below are the “Best Foods” for a healthy Skin

1.       High Fiber Foods.  People who eat a lot of fiber may see their acne improve. But doctors don’t know the exact reason. They do know that high-fiber diets can help control blood sugar, which is better for keeping acne away. Oatmeal, beans, apples, and carrots are easy ways to add a bit of fiber to your diet.

 

2.       Salad. According to a recent study, combining two vitamin all-stars—E and C—can protect your skin against UV damage. That’s why switching up your go-to salad ingredients during the summer could be a smart idea—not only for your belly, but for your sun-kissed skin, too. Vitamin-rich ingredients, like sunflower seeds (which are high in vitamin E) and spinach (a valuable source of vitamin C) helps your skin maintain its youth. Collagen is important for maintaining the structure of the skin sort of like scaffolding. If there is not enough, blood vessels lose support and begin bleeding. Vitamin C is found in high-concentration citrus fruits like lemons, oranges and grapefruits, leafy vegetables are rich in antioxidants that neutralize free-radical damage.

 

3.       Salmon. This fish is full of omega-3 fatty acids. They lower inflammation in your body, and that may help keep acne away. They also help lower the amount of a protein your body makes, called IGF-1, that is linked to acne. 

 

4.       Nuts. People with acne often have low levels of antioxidants like vitamin E and selenium, which almonds, peanuts, and Brazil nuts have a lot of. These nutrients protect cells from damage and infections. There’s no clear proof that antioxidants will clear up acne, but they are good for your body in other ways. So there’s no harm in adding them to your diet. 

 

 

Below are the “Worst Foods” for a healthy Skin

1.       Fried Foods. These foods can cause you to pack on the pounds and increase inflammation, your skin becomes irritable, too. Eating greasy food won’t make you break out in acne. However, getting grease on your face could certainly clog a pore or two.

 

2.       Dairy Products. Most common culprit of breakouts were associated with the consumption of skim milk, though everyone’s response to cheese, ice cream, yogurt and milk will vary. The more milk you drink, the more likely you are to have acne -- especially if it’s skim milk. Scientists are still trying to figure out why, but it could be the hormones that cows make when they are pregnant, which wind up in their milk. People who have higher levels of those hormones in their blood tend to have more acne.

 

3.       Alcohol.  Alcohol dehydrates your skin, which leaves it more sensitive than it already is to environmental factors and topical agents. And if you suffer from acne rosacea, alcohol can also make your skin redder and more prone to acne lesions.

 

4.       Sugar and Some Carbs. You’re more likely to have acne if your diet is full of foods and drinks like soda, white bread, white rice, and cake. The sugar and carbohydrates in these foods tend to get into your blood really quickly. When your body makes more insulin to bring down blood sugar, it affects other hormones that can boost oil production in your skin.

 

 

5.                        Sleep



Without regular, quality sleep, many people begin to notice an increase in fine lines, uneven pigmentation and reduced elasticity in their skin. Simply put, they look older than their actual years would indicate because lack of sleep weakens the skin's ability to repair and rejuvenate itself.

When you don't get enough sleep, your body releases more of the stress hormone cortisol. In excess amounts, cortisol can break down skin collagen, the protein that keeps skin smooth and elastic. Sleep loss also causes the body to release too little human growth hormone.

 

Getting a good night’s rest is critical for your overall health and well-being, but it also turns out there’s some scientific truth to the notion of beauty sleep. “Our skin rests and repairs itself while we sleep”.

One should have a sound sleep of at least 7 to 8 hours for a healthy skin.

 

Below are the beauty benefits of enough sleep

1.       Fewer Wrinkles. Skin makes new collagen when you sleep, which prevents sagging. “That’s part of the repair process”. More collagen means skin is plumper and less likely to wrinkle.

Only getting 5 hours a night can lead to twice as many fine lines as sleeping 7 would. It also leaves skin drier, which can make lines more visible.

 

2.       Glowing Complexion. Your body boosts blood flow to the skin while you snooze, which means you wake to a healthy glow. Sleep deprivation causes a decrease in blood flow to the skin surrounding your face”. “Skin becomes dull, and you don’t get those rosy cheeks anymore.”

 

3.       Attractive Appearance. Being short on sleep can cause the corners of your mouth to droop, making you look sadder than you do after a good night’s rest. When you’re tired, your facial expressions change in subtle and consistent ways. We tend to furrow and frown more,” Day says. “When people say, ‘You look tired,’ it can be because of these expressions. Red, swollen eyes, dark circles, sagging eyelids, and paler skin can also signal to others that you’re exhausted. People who don't get enough rest are also seen as less healthy than when they’re rested.
