How To Improve Your Skin Health

Achieving healthy glowing skin can feel like a never-ending struggle. One day you have clear skin, feeling great. The next day you wake up with redness or a dry patch on your face. Sarah Yang, beauty editor says "the state of your skin depends on your hormones, diet, lifestyle & environment. You can't solve every skin condition, in fact, it's best to see a dermatologist for anything that seems serious or can't be fixed with home or over-the-counter remedies."

You can, however, take control & make some changes so that your skin health can improve. A good start would be to clean up some negative habits like;

  • Eating poorly: without a diet full of nutrients, you are not helping your overall health nor your skin'. Incorporate Vegetables, nuts & seeds & fatty fish into your meal.
  • Smoking: Speeds up the ageing process & makes certain skin diseases like psoriasis worse.
  • Irregular face wash: your skincare routine doesn't have to be complex, but you should put in a little effort by washing your face morning & night to remove dirt, bacteria & makeup if any.
  • Unmanaged Stress: stress can mess with your whole body, including your skin. The American Association of Dermatologists says that "when stress isn't managed, you might encounter flare-ups of skin conditions like acne, psoriasis, eczema & rosacea.

Your healthcare expert can give you more tips on harmful habits to avoid & other things that can benefit you & your skin like vitamins, supplements & certain foods. In summary, your skin health can be improved if you follow these tips;

  • Wash up
  • Block sun damage
  • Avoid dry skin (Drink enough water)
  • Reduce stress
  • Get enough sleep &
  • Speak to your doctor.
