All Natural Skincare Tips to Help Make You Glow
Want healthier, glowing skin? While products, treatments and lotions are nice for some, they don’t always work like they’re supposed to. Additionally, the chemicals found in some of these products can be damaging in the long-term.
Many people – especially those with sensitive skin – are turning to more natural methods of skincare. To help broaden your options, here are a few all-natural beauty tips to help make your skin shine.
Drink More Water
Water is the cornerstone to perfect skin! Failure to properly hydrate can cause your skin to become dry and cracked – resulting in wrinkles, pores and other unwanted blemishes.
According to a study by the University of Missouri-Columbia, drinking water purges unwanted toxins from the bloodstream and increases blood flow to the skin, which in turn makes it look brighter and healthier. Another study found that drinking around 9 cups of water per day for a month can adjust your skin’s density and thickness.
Cleanse Your Skin
Although the skin naturally restores itself at night, it can absorb harmful ingredients that lead to dryness and wrinkles. Using water to cleanse your skin before bedtime helps remove all the dirt particles that accumulate during the day.
Sleeping with make-up on your face keeps your skin clogged up while you sleep, causing acne and zits. A quick water cleanse gives your skin that much-needed breathing room to balance itself out.
Cut Out Sugar
No matter how much you spend or work on skincare, a diet that’s high in sugar will cancel it all out. Through a process called glycation, sugar attaches itself to the skin proteins that help maintain its youthful appearance, and make it easier for wrinkles to form.
Cutting sugar from your diet – even for two weeks – will help your skin achieve maximum glow, and reduce the effects of aging.
Reduce Stress
Chronic stress is a huge contributor to skin issues like acne, premature aging, eczema, rosacea and more. Meditation, yoga, exercise, a good night’s sleep and other stress-reducing activities will help you achieve naturally glowing skin, and prevent adverse health effects.
Combine your stress-reducing activities with any other item on this list, and you’ll be on your way to skin perfection!
