Top Ten Tips for Healthy Skin
  1. Eat Healthy Diet: They say 'You are what you eat'. Keep a check on the food you have and strictly avoid junk, processed and fried food that can later cause several skin problems. Proper exercise benefits the whole body and so does the food that you put into your body or consume. Especially beneficial to your skin are foods that are rich in phyto-nutrients, anti-oxidants and hyaluronic acid. They give your skin the building blocks it needs to fight free radicals and maintain collagen levels.

  2. Follow routine skin care steps of cleansing, toning, moisturizing and exfoliation. This is essential for all the people of different skin types. However, use quality products that suit your skin.

  3. Protect yourself from the sun
    One of the most important ways to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems as well as increase in the risk of skin cancer.

    For most complete sun protection :

    Use sunscreen. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 19. When you're outdoors, reapply sunscreen every two hours or more often especially if you're swimming or perspiring.
    Seek shade. Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun's rays are strongest. Wear protective clothing. Cover your skin tightly with woven long-sleeved shirts, long pants and wide-brimmed hats.

  4. Stripping off the makeup before going to bed is highly recommended. Use toning or cleansing agents to take off the makeup.

  5. Stress and tensions have adverse effects on the skin sooner or later. Thus avoid unnecessary worries in order to prevent your skin from deterioration.

  6. Take care of your scalp by washing your hair regularly. If you have dandruff, proper and extra care needs to be taken as it is one of the reasons of acne break outs. Use antidandruff shampoo to take care of dandruff.

  7. Sound sleep is essential to take care of your skin and your body too. Regular, sufficient sleep allows your cells to renew and repair themselves. A full 7-8 hours of sleep permits your body to reach the deepest sleep stages and refreshes your skin as well as your body.

  8. Regular Exercise: Not only is exercise good for your body, your heart and your mentality; but increased blood circulation benefits your skin by allowing more blood to reach your skin cells faster and more efficiently.

  9. Develop Daily Skin Regimen: "Once you have figured out what type of skin you have, it is important to develop a daily routine to plan a regimen to take care of your skin. For people who have manageable acne, it is advisable to use a cleanser with benzoyl peroxide. For more stubborn and recurrent acne, it may be most beneficial to visit your dermatologist for acne removal therapy, or prescribed medication. For those who are blessed with clear skin, it is still important to adhere to some form of a skin care regimen, consisting of a cleanser, toner, facial cream, and sunscreen."

  10. Imperative thing one can do to attain or rather maintain healthier glowing skin is to quit smoking or in fact not begin it. Smoking is responsible for premature aging as the smoke you inhale contracts the blood flow to blood vessels, which thereby deprives your skin of necessary nutrients that your body delivers.
