The overall health and appearance of your skin is a concern for men and women alike. Individuals who have problem skin and suffer frequent breakouts, blemishes or skin pigmentation often experience symptoms that are similar to depression, such as anxiety; low self-esteem, shame and a lack of desire for social situations. Having healthy skin, on the other hand, can really boost your confidence and sense of well-being; not simply for the physical appearance of your skin, which is, of course, important to many people, but because problem skin is often physically uncomfortable or even painful.
There are ways to deal with the symptoms of unhealthy skin that might manifest themselves in breakouts and acne, and people often turn to medicated creams or face washes. However, it is much safer and more effective to prevent and maintain healthy skin than it is to deal with it once it is causing you issues.
Some of the best and simplest methods of maintaining healthy skin are listed below. Try these skin care hacks:
Juice or Blend
Your skin is the largest organ of your body; which is why an unhealthy diet can come to the surface and show itself on your skin. Flooding your body with micro-nutrients found in fresh fruits and vegetables is one of the best ways to have clear, glowing skin. Vitamin A found in carrots is particularly beneficial for your skin and eyes, as well as vitamin C which is found in abundance in fruits and vegetables and vitamin E which is found in many nuts. As well as consuming whole plant foods in abundance; a hack to get your skin glowing is to juice or blend your fruits and vegetables. Invest in a good quality juicer such as the ones reviewed on Which.co.uk, also check out Juicerkings.com. Juicing, in particular; removes the fiber, and therefore the need for your body to digest the fiber. It allows you to consume a greater quantity of plants than you would if you were to blend.
Sunscreen
Protecting your skin from the sun is important, not only during the summer months but all year round. While it is important to get vitamin D from the sun; the sun’s rays can be too strong for sensitive areas of your body such as your face. Finding a moisturizer that contains sunscreen is ideal, and you can find good quality skin products on Amazon.com that contain sunscreen as well as vitamin A and E, discussed previously for its skin benefits. Using sunscreen will reduce the likelihood of developing pigmentation from the sun’s rays as well as preventing other more serious skin conditions.
Cleanse, Tone + Moisturize
Having a simple skin routine, that works for you is imperative to good skin health. The three-step skincare routine which involves cleansing, toning and moisturizing your skin is the ideal way to look after your skin on a daily basis. Cleansing with a cream, oil, or water-based product gets rid of all the impurities on your skin; while toning reduces the appearance of pores and gets rid of any additional oil or impurity left over from cleansing. Finally, moisturizing your skin will provide a barrier and keep your skin soft and supple.
