Tips for Healthy, Youthful Skin
But some advice applies to everyone. Here are some skincare tips to keep you glowing, no matter your age or skin type:
- Stay hydrated. Scientists debunked the old recommendation to drink eight glass of water a day, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't hydrate. Water aids every bodily system. It moisturizes your skin from the inside out, helping to flush away toxins and maintain a youthful appearance.
Try switching out alcoholic drinks, coffee and soda for water. If you find water hard to drink, take yours warm with lemon or lime juice. Green tea -; the kind you make from a tea bag -; is another good choice, because it hydrates skin while also providing antioxidants, compounds known to help prevent cell damage.
- Eat a healthy diet. A diet heavy on cooked and raw plant-based foods -; think beans, tofu, fruits and vegetables -; can help you manage your weight and enjoy clearer skin. Healthy oils, like those found in olive oil, seeds, nuts and avocados, can also help protect skin. But avoid full-fat dairy products and excess meat consumption, which can cause wrinkles, according to the Mayo Clinic.
- Adopt a healthy skin-care routine. Wash your face twice daily, and be sure to moisturize. Look for products that can help your skin repair itself. For example, Re-Juv by Caci's line of Anti-Wrinkle Essentials covers up wrinkles, while also applying youth-rejuvenating ingredients to the skin.
- Exercise. Walking around your neighborhood might not give you washboard abs, but exercise can benefit your skin. Walking, running, yoga, sports -; whatever your activity of choice, it can help improve circulation to your skin, boosting elasticity and skin tone.
