1. Lack of WATER – No I did not say WINE! It’s about your skin after all!
Would that not be awesome? If your skin (my skin too) needed wine for hydration, most of us would look ten years younger! All Jokes aside. Just as you need to hydrate to avoid feeling the sensation of an extremely dry throat, it is essential to hydrate to keep away the dry and stretchy feeling. The skin cells are also made of water and need to be replenished for the skin to stay hydrated. Drinking a lot of water is the only way to go about this because water is claimed to be the healing power of our minds, bodies, and our skin.
2. Stop Smoking or look older!
I know blah, blah, blah…Whatever the reasons you started, by now you must have realized that it does nothing to reduce your stress levels. The only thing it does manage to do apart from making you prone to various respiratory and heart troubles is dry your skin out and make you look like a cracked board. So just stop please. Yes quit!
3. Sun damage:
How amazing those few hours of fun in the sun make you feel! But then when you look at yourself in the mirror, you face falls. Literally. For the damage your skin has suffered due to exposure to the UV rays is apparent. You can’t avoid the sun but you can use sun protection. Never forget it.
4. Lack of exercise:
It can make you overweight of course and that introduces very many more health problems but it also plays a role in the lack of luster in your skin. There isn’t enough flow of blood which is essential for the oxygen to travel across the body to each cell including the skin cells.
5. Bad eating habits:
The skin needs different nutrients and those fast food joints you love are not where you will find it! Feed your “skin” the right food and it will respond with that lovely look you want. Tit for tat!
5 things that can make your skin look old include not getting fresh air or not being exposed to outside natural lighting for that matter. You need some of the elements of nature to thrive.
Tip 1: Minimal makeup (not gonna happen for me, so just give your “skin” a break when you are at home)
It may add a fine coating to your skin making it glow, but skin needs to breathe. Is it really glowing? No matter how expensive the brand is, it can damage your skin. We are not asking you to throw them off your shelf; Schedule rest days, cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin, use sunscreen. Let your skin breathe.
Tip 2: Face Cleansing
This has been told by all beauty experts umpteen times when asked how to maintain healthy skin. Even if you are too tired after a long party, cleanse all dirt and makeup from your skin. Your face needs to be cleared of all the chemicals in makeup. The makeup acts as a tight mask on your face keeping your facial pores clogged. If you go to bed with all these makeup on, you’ll wake up the next morning with a huge embarrassing pimple. Treat Yourself to a SilkPeel Dermafusion facial with us.
Tip 3: Slather on sunscreen – not just any sunscreen though!
SPF30 Sunscreen like the one from New Youth Skin Care has special ingredients that protect your skin even better. SPF30 is a must for your skin. The rays of the sun are harmful beyond thoughts. Skin cancer, premature aging, skin rashes all of these are caused when your skin gets too much exposure to the sun without any protection.
Use sunscreen with SPF30 (15 minutes prior to exposure) on your face whenever you are going out to protect your skin of all the anomalies caused to your skin by the harmful sun rays. Do not care for the season or whether the sun is out today or it’s cloudy. Use sunscreen always. Beauty experts also advise using sunscreens even if you are at home or inside a car or even if you on a flight. swear by SPF30 sunscreen to keep skin healthy and free from any skin issues, damage, or even skin cancer caused by overexposure.
Tip 4: Exfoliating the face
All the healthy skin tips for women say that you should exfoliate your face at least twice a week. Scrubbing your face will rid your facial skin of all the dead cells that might have clogged your pores and can lead to acne breakouts, (try our Vivace RF for special care), blackheads and whiteheads. Exfoliating your face will also improve your complexion, adds a glow to your skin and also clears your skin of all toxins. Don’t exfoliate daily; it will make your skin look even drier. Ask your esthetician which skin care and a routine is right for you.
Tip 5: Moisturize your skin
Yes, other than keeping yourself internally hydrated, also use a good moisturizer to feed your skin. Moisturizers do not add a great deal of moisture by themselves, but they lock in the present moisture and are hence essential to keep your skin hydrated. After a bath, make it a routine to moisturize your face daily to keep it hydrated. Before bedtime, place a towel soaked in warm water on your face and keep for some time. This way the pores of your face will open allowing the moisturizer to soak into your skin.
Tip 6: Eat proper food
Food provides life to your skin. Everything you eat in your everyday life contributes to healthy skin. Only that you have to cut out on some and add some more.
Healthy Foods For Healthy Skin
Tip 7. Vitamin C rich foods:
Have fruits, and veggies rich in Vitamin C. Vitamin C manufactures collagen that is responsible for the firmness of your skin. So you quite well understand that lack of vitamin C in your diet will lead to the formation of wrinkles at an early age. Vitamin C is also an Anti-Oxidant that prevents collagen damage. With Vitamin C rich foods in your diet, your skin will not suffer from dryness, wrinkles and fine lines around eyes or lips. Have all citrus fruits, strawberries, broccoli and red peppers to tone up the younger look skin. Try to eat your Vitamin-C versus drinking it to save on calories and sugars.
