Top 5 Ways to Improve Your Skin From Within

Do you ever wonder what you could change in your daily routine to help improve your skin? Taking care of our bodies is important not only with exercise, but also with what we eat, and what we do daily. Our skin is the body’s largest organ, and when your skin is healthy it can protect you body from toxins or other stressors. 

Our skin regulates our temperature, recognizes pain, keeps our body hydrated, and acts as a barrier to the sun’s harmful rays. When you compromise your skins barrier this can lead to skin problems, or even health problems. Everything is connected, and keeping your skin healthy can help you battle the signs of aging, and keep your skin youthful and glowing.

What Can I Do To Improve My Skin?

  1. Follow a Healthy Diet

Eating the right foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants can help feed your skin from within. This also helps to keep your skin youthful, and can fight the signs of aging. Topical treatments such as serums or moisturizers only can penetrate the skin so deep. Treating your skin from the inside out can really battle aging at a cellular level. Eating healthy can keep your complexion clear and free of acne. Drink plenty of water to keep your body and skin hydrated. Stay away from alcohol or tobacco products that can increase your risk of developing skin cancer. 

2. Manage Stress

Stress can cause issues with our skin such as acne, itchy, flaky skin, or rashes. When our body feels stressed our skin releases sebum or an oily substance that blocks our pores. This can cause acne breakouts or skin irritation. Exercise or meditation can help you manage your stress levels and reduce stress, which can in turn help you to maintain clear and glowing skin.

3. Moisturize Regularly

 When we moisturize our skin, this targets the top layers, and keeps the skin cells hydrated. Moisturizer creams or serums can help to retain moisture in the skin and prevent itchy, dry, irritated skin. Showering more than once a day can strip the skin of pertinent moisturizers. 

Pay attention to the products you are using and check the ingredients. Products with harsh chemicals or fragrances can irritate the skin. Using hypoallergenic detergents or soaps can really help to prevent skin irritation, and keep your skin looking healthy. Keeping our skin hydrated and moisturized can help prevent the signs of aging, or at least slow down the process.

4. Get Plenty of Sleep

Sleep deprivation or sleep disruption can affect our health in many ways. People that do not get enough rest may develop dark circles around their eyes. Sleep helps to improve your skin tone, and keeps you -looking refreshed and youthful. Doctors recommend we should sleep between 7-9 hours a day to ensure our body stays healthy. Not only can sleep deprivation lead to premature aging skin, it can also lead to diseases such as diabetes, or even cancer. When you sleep your body uses this time to repair your skin and cells, and this produces new collagen to help keep your skin from losing elasticity.

5. Avoid Tobacco Use

Smoking, vaping, or any tobacco related products can narrow your blood vessels in the outer later of your skin. This reduces blood flow, and deprives your skin of vital nutrients and oxygen. The oxygen and nutrients in our skin keep us looking healthy and youthful. 

Smoking can cause your skin to prematurely age and look saggy and wrinkled. Tobacco products also cause the skin to stop producing collagen which helps with elasticity. Smoking can cause deep facial wrinkles on the face and especially around the mouth. The best thing you can do for your skin if you smoke is stop the habit, and focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
