Your skin is the largest body organ. Just like other organs in your body, it requires proper care. Since it’s also the most delicate, it needs your attention to keep it healthy and looking good. You are what you eat and your skin is the best reflection of your diet. The kind of food you eat can either make your skin look youthful and supple or wrinkled and aged.
With sufficient nutrients in your diet, your skin cells receive sufficient energy to power their functions and regenerate, revealing a younger looking skin underneath. Although many skincare products on the market promise a youthful skin, they’re often made using harmful chemicals not good for your skin.
Ranging from eating balanced diets to drinking lots of water daily, you can improve your skin the natural way. Whether you want to improve your skin tone or texture, there are natural, proven ways to soft, bright and smooth skin. Here are the 5 ways to improving your skin without using harmful chemicals:
Top 5 Natural Ways to Improve Your Skin
1. Reduce Stress
Stress affects your entire body, including skin. Studies have linked stress to acne breakouts in students undertaking exams at Stanford University. During stress, the body releases hormones such as cortisol into the bloodstream. As a result, your skin becomes oily, pores get blocked and its ability to fight the bacteria that causes acne wades off.
Engage in deep breathing, yoga, meditation and other stress management strategies to keep your body relaxed and stress-free. Without stress, your skin can easily fight psoriasis, acne, seborrhea and rosacea, among other skin conditions for an improved texture.
2. Avoid Exposing Your Skin to UV Rays
UV/UVA sun rays can cause brown spots and wrinkling on your skin. Exposure to such rays can be damaging to your skin, causing conditions such as skin cancer. Therefore, if you must go out in the sun, wear sunscreen and wear clothes that cover most parts of your body.
Also make sure your home and car windows are UV protected to ensure you’re safe when indoors or driving.
3. Drink a lot of Water Daily
Water keeps your body and skin hydrated, while eliminating toxins from your body. Drink about 8 glasses daily to keep your body organs working optimally, including your skin.
4. Exercise
Regular exercise can also improve your skin. Workouts burn excess fats from your body and get you to sweat. Your skin pores open up as you sweat, allowing it to breathe. It also removes dirt that might be blocking your pores for improved skin texture.
Research indicates that living an active lifestyle doesn’t just reverse negative skin effects, but also slows aging.
5. Eat a Healthy Diet & Make Facial Masks from Food
Unhealthy foods introduce toxins and excess fats into your body, leading to skin breakouts. Eat a balanced diet to improve your skin texture. Foods rich in antioxidants and vitamins such as fruits and vegetables can help fight free radicals in your body that cause wrinkles and faster aging in your body.
Add healthy fats in your diet for smooth and supple skin. Make facial masks using organic food products such as honey and lemon for improved skin tone and texture.
With these tips and more, you can get rid of stubborn skin conditions such acne and pimples without exposing your skin to harsh chemicals in most commercial products.
