Ten
Tips for Radiant Skin
By
Julie Anderson
Although
there are many skin care products to choose
from, if you fail to take proper care of your
skin, the most expensive products in the world
won't give you a radiant complexion. When it
comes to glowing skin, what we put into our
bodies and how we treat our skin and ourselves
has a huge impact on how we look. No skin care
product can overcome certain types of damage.
Following are ten tips to take the best care
of your skin and get that radiant glow.
1.
|
Eat
a balanced diet - what we put in our bodies
will show
on our skin. If you eat fatty foods and
junk your skin will reflect that, so give
your skin proper nutrition.
|
2.
|
Get
at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night.
A lack of sleep
will show up under your eyes as dark circles
or bags. Proper rest will also benefit
your body and your life.
|
3.
|
Drink
6 to 8 glasses of water a day to keep
your skin hydrated.
It is best to spread the consumption of
water in small amounts over the course
of the day to be sure it is properly absorbed.
|
4.
|
Maintain
a regular exercise schedule. Exercise
gets the blood moving and creates a healthy
body.
|
5.
|
Get lots of fresh air but
avoid prolonged exposure to wind and cold.
|
6.
|
Avoid
the sun and tanning beds. The damage done
by ultraviolet rays is long lasting and
cannot be reversed.
|
7.
|
Always
wear sunglasses to avoid squinting.
|
8.
|
Try to achieve a well-balanced
life and reduce stress.
|
9.
|
Exfoliate twice a week
to rid your skin of dead cells.
|
10.
|
Develop
a skin care routine for your particular
skin type.
If you have been neglecting your complexion
start right away to
improve it - it's never too late. What
you do today will show up in
your skin in the future. It's all up to
you.
