With thousands of skincare options on the market, it can be easy to think beauty starts with a good skincare routine. But beauty starts from the inside out. By improving our nutrition and being mindful of what we take into our bodies, we can support our systems, including our skin. Follow our tips to get glowing, radiant skin!
Hydrate
By ensuring you're taking in the appropriate amount of water each day for your weight, you'll be giving your skin an extra boost. Adequate water intake slows he process of aging, improves the appearance of skin, rids your skin of toxins and fights oil and acne.
Avoid Alcohol and Other Aging Foods
Alcohol, coffee, energy drinks, sugars, high-salt foods are all foods that contribute to aging and take a toll on the skin. Nix these from your diet for a healthier glow.
Amp Up The Antioxidants
Foods rich in antioxidants, like berries, pumpkin, carrots, lean meats, and nuts are all packed with antioxidants that help eliminate toxins and free radicals from the skin. They also brighten skin, calm irritation and smooth fine lines!
De-Stress
By doubling down on your self-care and keeping stress at bay, you can eliminate flaky, oily skin patches, itchy skin, hair loss, and yes, acne. High stress may increase sebum production that can cause black heads and blocked pores. Incorporate some guided meditation, yoga or tai chi to bring down those stress levels daily.
Get Extra Sleep
If you're running on a sleep-debt, you're doing your mind and body a disservice. The National Sleep Foundation recommends adults sleep 7-9 hours every day. Chronic sleep deprivation can have a significant impact on skin function and aging. During deep sleep, the body repairs skin, muscles, blood and brain cells. So give your body and brain a break by heading to bed a little earlier!
