7 Tips for your Skin
Skin care research
suggests that even how our skin behaves — acting more oily or more dry, for example
— may stem more from what we’re DOING to our skin than from its internal programming.
Working too hard to moisturize dry skin with heavy occlusive creams can cause clogged
pores and trigger irritation. On the other hand, scrubbing oily skin with stripping
soaps can provoke sebaceous glands to go into overdrive and create even more of
a slick. Here are 7 tips for you:
Exercise
Regular exercise increases circulation and aids in the distribution of
nutrients and oxygen to the skin. It helps boost your body’s immune system and
stimulates the body’s detoxifying processes. Sweating also helps flush grime
from your skin. At the very least, you’ll have a healthy glow.
Smoking.
In a word, quit. Smoking slows circulation and destroys internal reserves of
nutrients known to be antioxidants, such as vitamin C. The negative impact of
smoking on the skin is well established — doctors will refer to “smoker’s
pallor.” Even second-hand smoke should be avoided — tobacco smoke is one of the
major sources of free radicals (along with air pollution from
car exhaust and UV exposure) that contribute to premature aging.
Water.
Drink at least 8 glasses of fresh, clean water each day to boost your body’s
natural reserves of moisture and support your skin’s natural oil/moisture
barrier function. Note: Caffeinated beverages (not just coffee and tea, but
many soft drinks, as well) can contribute to dehydration.
Sleep.
Like all the major organs of your body, the skin repairs itself while you’re
sleeping. A normal sleep cycle also helps you maintain a normal hormonal cycle,
which is closely tied to healthy skin. On top of that, when you are rested you
are less likely to experience stress, which can have a negative effect on skin.
Diet.
Eat a balanced diet that is low in fat and high in fiber and abundant in a
variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes.
Nutritional Support.

Science has shown that topical application of
certain vitamins, minerals, and other skin-nourishers can support your skin’s
natural antioxidant defences against skin damage and actually boost your skin’s
natural ability to produce structural skin components such as collagen and
elastin. In addition, the regular use of sunscreens over time may reduce the
chance of skin damage, some types of skin cancer, and other harmful effects due
to the sun.
