When thinking of how to have a healthy and clear skin should cosmetics
be the first option?
The truth is that your "inner condition will always reflect in your
"skin condition". Nutrition, Hormones and Stress are major factors
that determine what your skin will look like.
Here are necessary action steps to achieve and maintain a clear and
healthy skin:
1) Don't allow yourself to get stressed. Learn to relax through prayer
and meditation. Accumulation of Stress hormones result in toxic
biproducts and free radicals. This eventually results in dull looking
skin and break outs.
2) Drink enough water. Water is a good cleanser for the body system
helping the skin regeneration process.
3) Get adequate sleep. The body gets the opportunity to rejuvenate
itself while we are asleep and this includes the skin. So try to get
up to 8hrs of sleep daily along with a regular sleep pattern.
4) Eat nutritious foods. Reduce or possibly eliminate your junk food
intake. Eat a well balanced meal three times a day and snack on fruits
or vegetables.
5) You may take vitamin supplements which can be recommended by your physician.
6) Use a mild cleanser with 2% salicylic acid to clean your skin
properly. This has been proven to be very efficient in ridding excess
oils while maintaining proper hydration and pH. The slight acidity
will keep bacteria at bay.
7) Avoid smoking. If you do, work on quitting. Smoking not just ages
your body system internally but also your skin. It has been observed
that smoking can add up 10 years to the look of your skin.
8) Use a sunscreen. Using a sunscreen supports the skin's Keratonin
to protect you from against the sun's UV rays. Some experts recommend
an SPF (sun protection factor) of 40.
9) Go for a spa treatment atleast once a year. Skin peels, TCA peels,
deep tissue massage, complete relaxation, aromatherapy, etc… will all
energize and heal your skin. TCA peels will actual improve your skins
ability to regenerate itself and improve collagen levels.
