skin and I think a lot of us go to great lengths and spend a great deal of
money when trying to achieve it. I think a lot of the times too we go out
looking for these complicated solutions thinking it's going to be the fix to
our complicated problems when in fact the solutions tend to be quite simple.
So let me share with you some tips on how I
keep my skin clear and healthy and glowing and how you can do the same let's
get started Above all learn to love your skin. So if you have freckles Beauty
marks natural discolorations a dark complexion a light complexion.
Skin Care Tips
It doesn't matter own it. It's you and
therefore it's beautiful. So focus on the things that you can change and honor
the things that you can't. Of course, I'm gonna start with nutrition because I
truly believe that healthy and glowing skin primarily comes from the inside and
not from the outside.
Vitamins and Minerals
So you may have heard or read people say
that certain vitamin and mineral supplements can help with achieving clear
complexion whereas other people might say that certain food ingredients like
celery and cucumber, mint lemon, and berries help with achieving clearer skin.
Food Ingredients
Personally, I don't believe that anyone
compound or small group of food ingredients is what helps to achieve a clear
complexion. I believe that your nutrition and your diet as a whole are what
determines the health and vitality of your skin.
Plant-Based Foods
So the more wholesome plant-based foods
that you eat the clearer your skin will be I mean no single supplement or
single food ingredients can offer the complex matrix of nutrients and
antioxidants. That can be found in the plethora of plant-based foods that you
can enjoy does that mean you need to be extreme about it.
No, not at all. I mean, I still enjoy some
plant-based treats on occasion and still manage to have a good complexion. But
I certainly noticed that when I overdo the processed foods the oily foods the
foods with loads of added sugar. My skin tends to break out a little bit more.
Some people recommend detox
teas other people will recommend vitamin-infused waters. But just like
nutrition don't let any of these quick-fix solutions fool you so again the
focus is to look at overall Hydration, the question comes down to are you
getting enough fluids?
Water Soups Smoothies
This can be in the form of water soups
smoothies, tea fruits, and the like. I'm gonna keep this short and simple if
you don't think you're staying hydrated enough. Making sure that you do is
certainly gonna help in your journey towards achieving clear skin.
External Problems
Most beauty care manufacturers will try to
convince us that our skin issues are as a result of an isolated External the problem that can be easily remedied with some kind of lotion or product that
they sell and I'm sorry I just don't buy into it because like I said before I
truly believe that healthy and glowing skin primarily comes from within So an integral part of skin health is God's health.
So this means happy intestines and healthy
poops. So making sure to eat foods that are high in fiber like fruits veggies
whole grains beans lentils nuts seeds flax and chia seeds in addition to making
sure that we get a healthy dose of Probiotics like plant-based yogurts and
fermented foods are healthy.
Regular Physical Activities
Not only for the gut but also for the skin
of course hydration and regular physical activity helps to keep things moving,
too. It should come as no surprise that sweating and regular physical activity
helps with a complexion as well.
Increase Blood Flow
So when we exercise we increase blood flow
to all areas of our body and our skin is included in that too so with increased
blood flow means increased oxygen and nutrients delivered to the cells and it's
also, an opportunity for the cells to get rid of any toxins or cellular debris
that they might have been hanging on to so more physical activity means
healthier skin.
Benefits Of Exercises
Exercise helps not only with increased
blood flow but also helps to decrease stress and we all know how much more our
skin can break Out when we're going through stressful times. So the question to
be asking yourself is am I experiencing stress?
And if so what might I be able to do to
bring some Zen into my life as I've mentioned in the past for me. It's usually,
time spent in nature or time spent with family and friends some kind of
self-care ritual or a cup of warm tea whatever it is take the time to identify
what you can do to bring some calm into your life to decrease the stress and
Trust me your mental health and your skin will thank you for it.
Cleansers Face Washes
So now that we've discussed how to achieve
beautiful skin from the inside we can segue into discussing how it can be
achieved from the outside if you used a creams night creams Cleansers face
washes makeup removers and scrubbers that work for you then keep at it. I'm not
trying to persuade you to do otherwise for me personally, It just feels like an
unnecessary expense extra clutter in the bathroom.
Use Coconut Oil
And to be honest I don't feel very
comfortable putting a whole bunch of products with multiple ingredients on my
face. I like to just keep things real simple. So the only thing that does touch
my face is coconut oil when I wake up I wash my face with water and then apply
coconut oil.
So it's essentially my moisturizer if I
wore makeup that day in the evening I'll wash off as much of the makeup as I
can with water first and then apply coconut oil to a cotton pad and use. This
to remove the makeup on my eyes. So the coconut oil serves both as a
moisturizer and a makeup remover.
All good things take time so don't mind -
quick-fix solutions or expect overnight results. And remember that consistent
practice is key. So when I transition from using my day and night creams to
using coconut oil.
Skin Care
It did take a while for my skin to adjust
at first, it got too oily. Then I noticed little bumps on my skin, and then it
got too dry before it finally found its equilibrium. So if you've gotten into a
new routine or if you're using a new product give it time and in a few weeks.
You'll start to notice a change in your complexion.
This is one you want to make sure not to
overdo both in frequency as well as in pressure. So I like to exfoliate every
two to three days or so with an exfoliating cloth that I purchased from a
dollar store. It's really simple just add some soap to the cloth and gently
scrub to remove any dead skin or debris.
Airbrushed Look
Making me feel less beautiful on days when
I wasn't wearing it because I didn't have that airbrushed Look, I would become
so used to and don't get me wrong. I do wear foundation sometimes but I keep it
only to special occasions, not as part of my daily routine.
I want to let my skin and pores breathe and
I find that when I do wear a foundation it results in at least a pimple or two
which then warrants wearing foundation again to cover it up and then it becomes
a vicious cycle.
Simple Beauty Tips
That's it some really simple tips on how to
achieve healthy and glowing skin. Nothing complicated and nothing that's going
to break the bank. So the take-home message is this above all else healthy skin
comes from within and if we're going to shift our focus to the outside.
