There's a lot of ways to make our skin healthy 💕

Keeping your skin looking healthy and radiant can be a constant battle. I have some tips to maintain your healthy skin even better.

Our skin is the window to our body that reveals the stories of our life. When we have acne breakouts during our teenage years to the radiant glow of pregnancy and the sunspots of aging, both our age and your health are reflected in our skin.

Skin has many functions, making it the ultimate multitasker of the human body. Its most important role is being the first line of defense between our bodies and the outside world, protecting us from bacteria, viruses, and pollution and chemical substances that we encounter in the workplace and at home.

Here are the tips to have a healthy skin

• Eat a healthful diet

What you eat is as important as the products that you put on your skin. Your diet could improve your skin health from the inside out, so a clear complexion begins with eating a healthful diet.

Here are some foods that have been acknowledged by research as being skin-healthy.

Mangoes contains compounds with antioxidant properties. These compounds help to protect components of the skin, such as collagen.

Tomatoes have skin cancer-prevention benefits. One study in mice revealed that daily tomato consumption decreased the development of skin cancer tumors by 50 percent after UV light exposure.

• Keep moisture in the skin

Skin moisturizers keep the top layer of skin cells hydrated and seal in moisture. Moisturizers often contain humectants to attract moisture, occlusive agents to retain moisture in the skin, and emollients to smooth the spaces between skin cells.

• Get your beauty sleep

Getting your beauty sleep will banish those dark circles around your eyes and improve your skin tone, and, best of all, it is free.

• Quit smoking

If you sre smoking, it can ages facial skin and skin located in other body areas. Smoking narrows the blood vessels found in the outer layer of the skin, which reduces blood flow and exhausts the skin of the nutrients and oxygen it needs to remain healthy

IMPORTANCE OF OUR SKIN

Healthy skin produces vitamin D when exposed to the sun, and vitamin D is important for many body functions. Having healthy skin also helps your body keep its temperature at a constant level.
