definitely way younger than they really are,
but too many times we take certain things for
granted, leaving our skin to suffer for it.
The human body may have been programmed to age
with time and loose its elasticity, but there are a few
cheap and totally safe ways for us to slow down the
aging process and look our best, by cutting off some
factors of our daily routine, and throwing in a few
new ones.
Here are a couple simple health tips that guarantee a
more healthy and beautiful skin and an attractively
younger look even as your age increases.
- Protect yourself from the sun, prolonged exposure
can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin
problems, as well as increase the risk of cancer; We
know completely staying away from the sun is not
possible due to our daily activities but there are a few
things you can do to protect yourself and minimize
it's dangerous effects on your skin – Use a broad-
spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, seek
shade from the sun if possible, especially between
10am – 4pm when the sun's rays are strongest. Wear
protective clothing such as long-sleeved shirts, long
pants and wide hat.
- 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 research suggests that a diet rich in
vitamin C and low in unhealthy fats and processed or
refined carbohydrates might promote younger
looking skin. Also remember to drink a lot of water,
it has a lot of benefits and contributes immensely to
you obtaining younger looking skin, shinier hair and
a healthy body.
- Uncontrolled 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. Set
reasonable limits, scale back your to-do list and
make time to do the things you enjoy and just relax;
the results might be more dramatic than you expect.
Also cut down on the use of harsh soaps and
detergents as these tend to strip the skin of necessary
oils and hence, its natural glow.
