Tips On Healthy Skin

Most women are concerned about the health of their skin. They are happy to apply a ton of different chemicals to peal, moisturize, and shrink pores. In all this is all fine and good but it seems that many women miss some of the tips that can really get their skin going in the healthy direction in the first place. Following these tips can really give your skin an nice healthy glow.

Drinking more water is one of the easiest things to do. This may come as a shock but one of the best things you can do for your skin is make sure you are hydrated. Simply carrying a water bottle  with you is an easy way to do this. There are some arguements on how much water you should be drinking. Some recommend eight glasses a day while others use a formula where you take you weight divided by 2, and that is how many ounces (for example 150 / 2 = 75 ounces). It doesn’t matter which one you chose, the big thing is to drink more water. Staying hydrated on the inside makes your skin appear more healthy on the outside.

Another great tip for your skin is to wear a good 30 SPF sunscreen. The days of a “healthy tan” are quickly coming to an end as more and more data shows that the sun damages your skin and causes premature aging. Using a sunscreen with spf 15 or higher is a key to dealing with this. This also has the benefit of helping to reduce the chances of melanoma, a deadly disease.

Eatting correctly is the third tip. More research is being done about this all of the time. Books such as Feed Your Skin Starve Your Wrinkles are beginning to bring this research more to the main stream. Eating antioxidant rich foods like fruits and veggies along with high oil foods like nuts can help to slow down aging and improve your skins health.

So don’t toss out all of your skin care routine, but keep in mind that you need to start from the base to truly get healthy skin. It really isn’t much work to include these things into your routine so give it a try.
