Keeping Skin Beautiful

General

While we all know that true beauty is more than skin deep, beautiful skin can be an instant confidence boost and a clear and telling reflection of our age, health, and stress levels. Your skin is the largest organ of your body and a lifelong investment. It is important to protect and pamper it. So here are a few key considerations for keeping your skin in optimal condition.

Nutrition

Not only does a balanced and varied diet make us feel better, but the benefits are reflected in our skin too. Toxins from fatty foods, excessive alcohol, or allergies that we may not be aware of can surface as persistent dryness or oiliness, rosacea, or even adult acne. If your condition worsens, see a dermatologist such as those recommended by the British Association of Dermatologists. Emphasise green leafy vegetables and berries that are rich in antioxidants in your diet to ensure a glow that comes from the inside-out.

Sunscreen

It is a common misconception that sunscreen needs only be worn in hot or sunny climates, but in reality the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays can penetrate even thick cloud and are often exacerbated by overcast conditions, not lessened by them. If you want to ensure younger looking skin for longer, then investing in a high SPF and wearing it every day—even in winter—is one of the most effective preventative measures. Be sure to choose your sunscreen from a reputable and regulated brand, however, as some of the claims can be exaggerated as reported by the BBC.

Stay fit and Pampered

Exercise and muscle tone can both contribute to a beautiful skin but it can become difficult to maintain later in life, particularly after having a family.

Once you have built up a sweat why not sit back and get a professional massage, take back a glass of prosecco and listen to some relaxing music after all relaxation is good for body and mind.  You could even take a trip over to your local osteopath like Leicester Osteopath Townosteo, to have them twist and turn your body back into the right shape.

With the right nutrition, sunscreen and level of exercise, your skin will be your best feature in no time. Simply accessorise with a smile!
