Today's world is busier and more hectic than ever therefore most of us don’t get time for intensive skincare. But one can still maintain a healthy and glowing skin by acing the basics. Everyone has different skin types and has different needs. A well-tailored skincare regimen and healthy lifestyle can be helpful in getting rid of your existing skin concerns and prevent premature aging.
Get started with these 5 crucial tips that will be helpful in achieving healthier skin that glows!
• Keep Yourself Hydrated: Consuming a sufficient amount of water every day is essential to hydrate your skin. Drinking 8-10 glasses of water everyday can move beneficial fluid in your body more effectively and eliminate unwanted toxins to minimize inflammation and support your skin’s moisture barrier. Water helps in the production of collagen and elastin which keeps your skin plump, clear, radiant and healthy. You can ensure your skin is getting enough hydration by also incorporating water-rich food in your daily diet like cucumber, watermelon, tomatoes, celery etc.
• Limit Sun Exposure: Sun exposure is the biggest threat for your skin as it causes several problems like wrinkles, age spots, pigmentation, dry skin. If not taken properly it can also lead to serious skin concerns like skin cancer. One of the crucial keys to keep your skin healthy and damage free for a long run is to use sunscreen every day. Ensure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
• Stop Smoking: Smoking causes premature aging and contributes to wrinkles by causing blood vessels to constrict. It reduces blood flow to your skin’s outermost layer which makes skin paler and dull. Smoking also damages collagen and elastin present in your skin. Regular smoking increases your risk of squamous cell skin cancer. The best way to protect your skin is by quitting smoking.
• Limit Stress: Stress not only affects your mental health but it also has negative impacts on your skin. Uncontrolled stress can trigger breakouts and make your skin more sensitive. During stress, your body releases inflammatory chemicals like interleukins as part of its fight or flight response. To manage your stress, get enough sleep, make time to do things you enjoy, set reasonable limits.
• Be Kind to Your Skin: By using gentle cleansing soaps and shaving carefully you can treat your skin gently. A long hot shower relaxes your muscles, but it can also cause dryness and irritation. Therefore, take shorter lukewarm showers for healthier skin. Try to pat your skin gently after shower so that the moisture remains. Use body lotion and moisturizer immediately after bath to maintain a supple skin.
