By PAGE Editor
You’ve probably heard that beauty is only skin deep. But what if we told you that the truth is, it has a lot more to do with your diet than your genes? That’s right, in order to keep your skin looking young and healthy, all you need to do is eat plenty of fruits and vegetables (and drink lots of water), and work out every day.
And don’t forget about sunscreen! No matter how much time you spend outside during daylight hours, make sure you put on sun protection when necessary. After reading this article, hopefully, these tips will help make maintaining your appearance easier for everyone!
Facial Steaming
If you’re looking for a quick way to relax, facial steams are the perfect solution since they allow your pores to open up and release toxins. Plus, steam will soften fine lines on your face which will make them look less prominent.
All you have to do is place boiling water in a bowl, add some lavender oil or tea tree oil into it, then hold a towel over your head while sitting over the steam for about five minutes. If this doesn’t help with wrinkles at all, opt for a MyoLift Facial Tool or an anti-wrinkle cream that is filled with collagen or hyaluronic acid. If your skin feels dry, make sure you moisturize thoroughly before going to bed (we recommend face oils since they’re made of natural ingredients like nuts and avocado).
Face Masks
If you’re looking for an easy way to get glowing skin, look no further than face masks. You can use them all over your body or just on certain parts of it. For example, if you want to reduce the appearance of sunspots, choose a mask with vitamin C in it and/or strawberries (which are rich in Vitamin C). These vitamins will help keep your skin hydrated so that dark spots won’t form easily.
On the other hand, if you want to get rid of blackheads, choose a charcoal mask instead since charcoal is able to draw impurities out of the pores on your face. We recommend using face masks once or twice per week depending on how often you already get facials. Exfoliating is another good way to get rid of dead skin cells and clear up your complexion so that you have a smooth, glowing face.
Foods That Fight Acne
If you want to keep acne at bay, all you need to do is eat foods that are high in antioxidants. For example, strawberries can help protect against sun damage which will reduce inflammation on the skin (and thus reduce acne). Blackberries are another good food choice because they contain salicylic acid which helps remove dead skin cells. Eat these two together for an even better effect!
However, if you want to remove excess oil from your face without worrying about redness or irritation, choose a face wash that contains tea tree oil. This is also a natural ingredient that will help fight bacteria and keep your pores clear.
Sun Safety
Of course, no matter how many great products you use on your skin, the sun can still do some serious damage to it so make sure to wear sunscreen whenever possible! If you’re going out for a few hours of sunlight, choose one with an SPF between 15 and 30 depending on your tolerance for pain (the higher the number of SPF, the lower its effectiveness).
For extended amounts of time spent outside during daytime hours, We recommend a waterproof version with an SPF of at least 50 since it can filter rays. Read the labels on any sunscreen before using it to make sure you’re applying it correctly!
Mature Skin Tips
If your face is showing signs of wrinkles or fine lines, you can help reduce their appearance by exfoliating (which will also help if you have acne). However, when you do this, make sure not to overdo it since that could irritate your skin. For example, if you use an abrasive scrub too often or too harshly, all that exfoliation will cause redness and inflammation which will lead to even more wrinkles.
If the fine lines around your eyes are especially prominent for some reason (and makeup isn’t covering them up), try refreshing your eyelids with a cold compress every day for five minutes. This will help the skin cells regenerate so that you’ll have a healthier-looking face overall!
Beauty is an art that requires commitment, time, and of course money. The good news? There are plenty of ways to keep your skin looking young without breaking the bank! In this article you’ve learned how to cleanse, tone, moisturize, exfoliate as well as some general guidelines for protecting your skin from the sun.
You’ve also discovered foods that fight acne and tips on what to do if you have mature or sensitive skin. And don't forget about facial steaming which can be a great way to relax any day! Keep these beauty tips in mind when creating or updating your beauty regimen so that no matter where life takes you, you'll always look fabulous!
