Tips for healthy skin

Updated: Jan 6, 2022

Good skincare — including sun protection and gentle cleansing

can keep your skin healthy and glowing.


Don't have time for intensive skin care? You can still pamper yourself by acing the basics. Good skin care and healthy lifestyle choices can help delay natural aging and prevent various skin problems. Get started with these five no-nonsense tips.


“Beautiful youthful skin is characterized by its smooth, strong, even in tone and free from skin damage and blemishes. However beautiful skin is more about just its appearance. Fairish amounts of oils and high levels of skin essential nutrients. ”

1. Sun protection is essential.

Protecting your skin from the sun is one of the most important aspects of skin care. Sun exposure throughout a lifetime can lead to wrinkles, age spots, and other skin issues, as well as an increased risk of skin cancer.


2. Smoking is not permitted.

Smoking causes wrinkles and makes your skin look older. Smoking constricts the small blood vessels in the skin's outer layers, reducing blood flow and making the skin darker. This depletes the skin's supply of oxygen and nutrients, all of which are essential for skin health.

Collagen and elastin, the fibers that give your skin strength and elasticity, are also damaged by smoking. Furthermore, smoking-related facial gestures, such as pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep smoke out, can contribute to wrinkles.

Furthermore, smoking raises your chances of developing squamous cell skin cancer. Quitting smoking is the best method to protect your skin. Consult your doctor for advice or treatments.


3. Treat your skin gently

Daily cleansing and shaving can take a toll on your skin. To keep it gentle:

  • Limit bath time.

  • Avoid strong soaps.

  • Shave carefully.

  • Pat dry.

  • Moisturize dry skin.

4. Eat a healthy diet

A healthy diet can help you look and feel your best. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. The association between diet and acne isn't clear — but some research suggests that a diet rich in fish oil or fish oil supplements and low in unhealthy fats and processed or refined carbohydrates might promote younger looking skin. Drinking plenty of water helps keep your skin hydrated.


5. Manage stress

Unstoppable stress can make your skin more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems. To encourage healthy skin — and a healthy state of mind — take steps to manage your stress. Get enough sleep, set reasonable limits, scale back your to-do list and make time to do the things you enjoy. The results might be dramatic more than you expected.
