5 Ways to Improve Your Skin Health

By Alexis Mills

It's true that the skin is the window into the body and reveals what your body has gone through and information about your health. Your skin is the body's largest organ and it works hard to protect us. Our skin is the ultimate multitasker, but its most important role is being the first defense against the outside world. It also functions to regulate body temperature, control moisture loss, alert us to danger with pain sensations, and works as a barrier to protect our organs; hopefully, it keeps everything nice and tidy.

While there are factors out of our control that impact our skin such as genetics, aging, hormones, and health conditions, there are many factors that are within our control. See how you can keep your skin healthy and get a radiant glow.

 Eat Skin-Healthy Food

What you eat is just as important to your skincare routine as the products that you put on your skin. By eating quality foods, your skin is healing you from the inside out. Foods such as mangoes, tomatoes, dark chocolate, and kale all have properties to fuel the skin. When you are eating healthy, imagine that you are fueling your body -- which reflects on what happens inside and works to the outside.

Keep Stress Levels Down

When the body is stressed, it really shows on your skin through an unexpected pimple, dry patches, itchy skin, or overly oily skin. Reducing your stress can lead to clearer skin, so if you are stressed, try techniques such as yoga, meditation, or a soothing bubble bath.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Drinking hydrating drinks such as water and green tea will bring nutrients to the skin. Proper hydration helps the kidneys and liver filter out toxins and transport necessary nutrients throughout the body. Alcohol is dehydrating to the body and skin and makes you at more risk for skin issues.

Keep Moisture in the Skin

By keeping your skin moisturized, it keeps the outer layer of skin sealed in hydration. To avoid dry, red, and itchy skin, there are many small changes you can make to be gentler and kinder to your skin. If you are having issues, look at everything you put on your skin such as your soaps, towels, scrubs, laundry detergent, the type of material your clothes are, and the creams to soothe the skin.

Sleep Tight 

Getting proper rest will help your skin immensely; it is called beauty rest for a reason. During sleep your skin and body go into repair mode to repair damage and produce new collagen.

We all know the immense amount of beauty products out there that are said to give you the best possible skin. While having a consistent skincare routine is important, you don't always have to spend your whole paycheck on expensive creams to make your skin glow.
