Healthy Habits for
Healthy Skin
Yes, there are things you
can and should be doing daily for healthy skin. For starters, limit the amount
of sun you are getting, especially between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. when the sun is
the strongest. This will help reduce wrinkles, age spots and other skin
problems.
Seek the shade, use sunscreen and wear a hat to the beach!
You can also refrain from
smoking, which can make your skin look older and contribute to wrinkles. If you
smoke, really try to quit.
A diet rich in fruits,
vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins will help too. Some research also
suggests that a diet rich in Vitamin C and low in unhealthy fats and processed
foods can promote healthy, younger looking skin and help you avoid adult acne
too. And drink up--water, water and more water. Your skin will thank you.
Moisturize your skin and
cleanse with warm water instead of hot will also make a difference. Pat your
skin dry or blot with a towel. This will help retain moisture.
Finally, manage your stress.
It does make a difference. Sleep, relax, set limits, scale back and your skin
will thank you.
