Every woman has her own routine, however only few women have great skin.
Why you ask? Well, it’s because having great skin is a high maintenance routine that some of us just don’t have time for. The thing of it is, you can do something to help yourself get glowing skin. Follow these guidelines for the secrets of women with great skin:
1. Diet
There’s a ton of foods that are good for your skin. Try strawberries for their super dose of vitamin C. Almonds are a great source of vitamin E which is noted as an impressive sun blocker. One doctor from the dermatology department at Yale University, Jeffrey Dover, M.D., associate clinical professor, stated that “Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant that helps to protect skin cells from UV light and other environmental factors that generate cell-damaging free radicals.”
The overall idea is to find foods that are rich in skin favorable vitamins and antioxidants.
Also, stay away from foods such as Carbonated Drinks, Rye, Wheat, and Dairy Products etc as they often lead to abdominal bloating which might cause acne and breakouts. The more powerful the food, the more powerful the results.
And by all means don’t forget to incorporate at least sixty four ounces of water into your daily diet.
2. Vitamin C and Multi-Vitamins
Research shows that people who eat foods rich in Vitamin C have fewer wrinkles and less age related dry skin than those who don’t.
Vitamin C can provide a range of benefits to keeping your skin looking younger, longer.
- Reduce the appearance of brown spots and other types of sun damage
- Helps boost healthy collagen production
- Reduces inflammation and irritation
- Fades post breakout red marks by improving skin’s natural healing response
- Increases the effectiveness of your sunscreens and boosts your skin’s defense against UV exposure
And of course you need to be taking Multivitamins anyway.
3. Exercise
Take note that excessive cardio can actually cause your skin to lose its elasticity. You’ll want to focus on muscle building exercises if you’re trying to actually tone your skin. Yes, you can actually tone your skin…
With exercise, you are also increasing the blood flow to the living layers of your skin. Opening up sweat glands can push out some of what clogs pores too.
4. Sleep
Beauty Rest is no cliche statement ladies. With proper rest you should experience fewer wrinkles in your middle to older age. Skin makes new collagen when you sleep, which prevents sagging. Patricia Wexler, MD, a dermatologist in New York says that more collagen means skin is more plump and less likely to wrinkle. She goes on to mention that just five hours per night of sleep can lead to twice as many fine lines as sleeping seven hours. More sleep essentially leads to clear, hydrated skin.
5. Stop Picking and keep your hands off your face
It’s inevitable that you’re going to get a blemish or three from time to time. You must learn to keep your hands off your face. Picking and touching are key factors in causing pores to clog, furthermore allowing dirt from your fingers and hands and nails onto your face. Ewww. Don’t do it… Just don’t do it.
6. Wash Regularly
Make sure you’re washing your face after a workout and before bed, not to mention – it couldn’t hurt when you wake up in the morning. A quick splash of cold water is a great way to excite your senses. Use mild soaps and water. If you suffer from acne, there are various washes available on the market specifically designed to treat acne.
7. Exfoliate
Exfoliating is essential for healthy, bright skin. Focus on the dry spots concentrating on the places where your complexion is especially dull.
Make sure you’re only rubbing your face in upward, circular motions. Wash your face with warm water and then gently pat dry with a towel. Don’t forget the moisturizer afterward.
8. Use Protection
Hats, Long Sleeve Shirts and Jeans may not be the answer but make sure you’re using at least 15 SPF Sunscreen or a moisturizer with sunscreen mixed in.
9. Honey Scrubs
There are many ways to use honey for your face. It’s loaded with antioxidants and other nutrients to help battle carcinogens and other radicals that enter your sensitive facial skin on a daily basis. Do your homework. A general recommendation is to rub 1 part honey to 1 part sugar (just a dab of each really should do)…mix it in the palm of your hand and rub it into your face, avoiding your eyes. Rinse with warm water. But feel free to leave the scrub to soak into your skin for 15 minutes or more.
10. Choose Skin Products Wisely
Try to avoid the grocery store cosmetics section and opt to spend a few dollars extra on the face products you’re investing in. That’s right, your face, your skin, your body. You’re investing in something viable here.
You might consider Rodan and Fields, which offers a range of products for your skincare regimen, and it’s also amongst the popular choices on the market.
As always, you should discuss any dietary changes and exercise routines with your doctor as this might play a significant role in your skincare routine as well.
You might consider having a conversation with your dermatologist about any new products you’re trying to be sure your skin is compatible.
