Get a glowing, healthy skin!

Good skin care and healthy lifestyle choices can help delay the natural aging process and prevent many skin problems. Here are few tips which if you practice regularly can lead to a healthy and vibrant skin from the inside out.   1. Stay active Do some exercise daily as it boosts circulation, which delivers more nutrients to cells and skin, increases lung capacity, so you can take in more oxygen and fights age-related diseases. And, for many, it's the ultimate stress reducer. 2. Skin Hydration Hydration should from pure, clean water - not liquids such as soda, alcohol, coffee - for skin cells rejoice.   3. Sleep and Skin rejuvenation When we sleep, our skin rejuvenation takes place and the skin cells recover from any harm it has suffered during the day. Ensure you get at least 7 (preferably 8) hours of sleep a night. Remove all make-up before going to bed. 4. Anti-ageing tips - Here are few tips to help prevent ageing of skin and wrinkles: ·         Avoid exposing your skin to the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Use a sunscreen and wear fully covered clothing when you go out in the sun. ·         Avoid exposing your skin to heat (this includes hot water). ·         Quit smoking - Smoking depletes the skin of oxygen and nutrients and damages collagen and elastin — fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity. 5. Treat your skin gently Hot water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin. Limit your bath or shower time, and use warm rather than hot water. Avoid using strong soaps as they can strip oil from your skin. Instead, choose mild cleansers. 6. Natural supplements Here are some of the best natural and anti-ageing supplements for healthy skin.   Vitamin A - It promotes repair of the skin and its deficiencies can result in a dry, flaky complexion. Low-fat yogurt is a good source. It contains the "live" bacteria that is good for intestinal health. Other food sources are liver, chili peppers, carrots, apricots, sweet potatoes and spinach.   Vitamin C - It is highly effective at reducing wrinkles and other signs of premature aging, caused by overexposure to the sun or pollution. Foods high in vitamin C include red/green bell peppers, guava, kale, parsley, turnips, and broccoli.   Vitamin E - When combined with vitamin A, vitamin E is especially effective at preventing certain skin cancers. Food sources of vitamin E include almonds, sunflower oils, almonds, spinach, peaches, tomatoes, cabbage, and avocados. 7. Antioxidants Green tea - It has anti-inflammatory properties, and is protective to the cell membrane. Whether taken orally or applied to the skin, green tea can reduce the damage from ultraviolet rays of the sun, and thus reduce the risk of skin cancer.   Blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and plums - These four fruits have the highest "total antioxidant capacity" compared to any other food. The benefits of these foods for healthy skin are plentiful.
