Obtaining healthy, radiant skin requires a comprehensive approach. Our skin, the largest organ of the body, often reflects the signs of what’s happening on the inside. Getting regular skincare treatments and sticking to a consistent skincare routine to address signs of aging (dullness, laxity, uneven skin tone, etc) is just one essential element to having healthy, vibrant looking skin. Other equally important factors contributing to having beautiful skin include:
Eating A Nutrient-Rich Diet
A well balanced diet is an essential component to having healthy, glowing skin. A diet rich in nutrients such as antioxidants, vitamin C, complex carbohydrates and protein (essential amino acids) is very important for skin repair, collagen production and overall skin vitality.
Staying Hydrated
With age, our skin produces fewer natural oils, is thinner and loses water more easily. Drinking water is not only crucial to replenish lost fluids when we sweat but it is also important in supporting our overall skin health and appearance. Staying hydrated will ensure your skin stays vibrant, healthy and radiant.
Exercise
Exercise offers many benefits to our overall skin health and appearance. Exercise increases blood flow which helps deliver more oxygen and nutrients to our skin cells. It is also known to reduce stress, which contributes to anti-aging. When we sweat our body flushes out toxins, impurities and dirt, which can all lead to a dull looking complexion. Regular exercise also improves our sleep quality which is essential to our overall skin health and well-being. During sleep, our body is able to rejuvenate, repair and renew our skin cells. A lack of sleep can result in a dull complexion and other signs of aging.
Sun Protection (all year-round!)
Using a daily sun protection is an essential component to maintaining healthy, beautiful looking skin. It protects your skin from harmful UV rays which can lead to skin cancer and signs of aging, such as unwanted pigmentation and the depletion of our skin’s collagen and elastin.
By combining all of the above with a consistent skincare regimen, your skin will be beautiful, more radiant and healthier!
