4 tips for skin health that will keep you young

In order to get skin that glows, looks great and stays healthy for life, there are some things that you can squeeze into your schedule to improve your skin health no matter who you are.

It’s a simple fact that your skin is the largest organ of your body. To make sure that you’re getting the most out of your skin health, you’ll need to focus on beautification and health at the same time.

If you’re interested in getting what you need from your skin health, use the strategies below and make sure you bring in professional help when you need to.

Cater your diet to skin health

Thankfully, the best medicines for your skin health are found at the grocery store.

Before you start turning to chemical products and procedures, audit your diet and figure out what nutrients you’re missing. Studies show that the majority of people are deficient in nutrients like Vitamin D, iron and calcium.

What’s more, the vast majority of people walk around dehydrated, getting less than their recommended 2.6 litres of water per day.

If you want to jump start your skin health, make sure that you are eating nutrients like avocados, almonds, cashews, spinach, kale, and lots of berries. The antioxidants found in these life-giving foods will keep your skin healthy and preserve your youth.

The best thing you can invest in is a high-quality blender, so that you’re able to make smoothies that infuse your skin with nutrients.

Find professional assistance

To get the best from your skin health, make sure that you hire a quality dermatologist.

Your dermatologist will help you see you regularly for appointments in order to prevent acne, scarring, breakouts and other problems. This is an in-depth medical science, so don’t think that you can do it all yourself.

The dermatologist will cost you somewhere between $100 and $200 per visit and is money well spent when it comes to getting some answers about your skin.

You can also buy professional grade skin products in order to regularly pamper yourself and make your skin look great. Whether you’re looking for ways to get a tan at home, infuse your skin with moisture with a great lotion, or to remove acne with a cleanser, it pays to stock your medicine cabinet with everything that you need.

Store your products and use them regularly for great skin health.

Flush the toxins from your skin

You will need to flush out toxins so that your skin can glow and remain healthy.

One of the best ways to do this is by breaking a sweat as often as possible. Going on jogs, hikes and walks outside will go a long way toward helping you flush out the dirt and toxins in your body that contribute to negative skin health.

Invest in a quality juicer and blender combination and get religious about making fruit and vegetable smoothies. Science backs the youth giving properties of berries, avocados, and bananas. Leafy green vegetables like kale and spinach also promote skin health and heart health, which will help you stay youthful overall. Mix these ingredients, along with some Omega 3 fatty acid-dense hemp, chia and flax seeds, and you’ll definitely be able to detox and stay young.

Make sure you have at least one of these smoothies every day, and be generous with portions of green vegetables. For best results, try to enjoy three of these smoothies per day, along with regular healthy meals and it will shock you how your body will feel light and clean, and you’ll always look your best.

You can also visit your local sauna to really empty out waste that will eventually come out in your skin. You’ll notice that your skin glows and that you’ll have less imperfections.

Cut or minimise the vices

Finally, figure out which vices are contributing to the damage of your skin.

Many people deal with sugar addiction to the point that they get headaches, chills and insomnia. This is a huge problem that will also cause your skin to break out.

You should also ditch fried and processed foods, minimise alcohol and cut out smoking. These vices will hamper even the best diet and professional help, so be honest about these habits and put them in their place.

Use these tips to look younger and get the most out of your skin health.
