The TOP 5 Skin SECRETS: How to Improve Your Skin
Are you ready to learn how to improve your skin?!
The secrets to improving your skin lies within your daily routines. Although your skincare routine is important, it’s more than that.
The secret to the clear, but not perfect skin is all about your digestive health. What foods are you putting into your body?
Focus on nourishing your body with whole foods and less processed foods you will see this in your skin!
This post is all about how to improve your skin!
1. Drink your water
Consider water your new BFF. Your skin loves it! It gives you that glow. It keeps you hydrated and gives your skin a plump look.
When you are dehydrated you are more likely to grab your favorite coffee, soda or juice. These have added sugars and preservatives that do anything for our skin.
These Simple Modern water bottle are very similar to the Stanley water bottles, except they are half the price and don’t spill (iykyk haha).
2. Be gentle with your skin
Practice using gentle cleansers like CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser and La Roche-Posay Foaming Facial Cleanser
These facial cleansers are perfect if you have normal to oily cleanser. They don’t strip your skin of the natural oils and they give just right amount of foam.
Sometimes, harsh skin products like chemical exfoliants can do more harm than good, especially if they are being overused.
Know your skin concerns and make an action plan. For example, if your primary skin concern is hyperpigmentation, look for products that include Niacinimade to improve to appearance of dark spots, Vitamin C to brighten your skin and Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate your skin.
3. Don’t skip the sunscreen
Rain or shine, apply your sunscreen! Especially my Black girls, our skin needs to be protection too! Without it, our dark spots and hyperpigmentation can worsen.
This Elta MD UV Clear Sunscreen is the best! It’s SPF 46 and works perfectly as a base to your makeup or worn alone. I’ve been wearing it for about 2 years and my skin thanks me everyday. It gives your skin the most perfect glow.
Two finger swipes is the perfect amount and if you plan on enjoying the sun, reapply every 2 hours.
4. What are you eating?
Once you start paying attention to the foods you are eating, you will see your skin change overtime. Enjoy the dark leafy greens like spinach and kale. They are high in antioxidants and are shown to reduce inflammation.
Omega- 3 fats like walnuts, chia and hemps seeds as well as salmon aid in decreasing inflammation and acne.
Your digestive health plays an immense role in the appearance of your skin. Highly processed foods that contain lots of excess oils, fats and extra ingredients can lead to bloating and future breakouts.
5. Manage your stress
Have you ever noticed that when you’re stressed, you tend to breakout more? Yes, well think about it. When you’re stressed you probably aren’t getting enough sleep, probably eating less whole foods, drinking more sugary drinks and decreasing your water intake.
It’s called beauty sleep for a reason. The to-do list can wait. Take a step back and take care of yourself.
