Skin is the largest organ in our body, so it’s imminent to take care of it. Glowing skin is seen as a sign of health and vigour. A fresh and glowing look on your skin will present you in a better light in front of others. So in addition to better health tips, try these tried and tested tips for skin health as well.
- Moisturize skin with virgin coconut oil
Coconut oil has healed, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. But do not use it if you are allergic to coconut. If you can apply coconut oil on your skin without irritation, make it a staple in your skincare routine.
Coconut oil is a good natural moisturizer. Try massaging a small amount of coconut oil onto your face, hands and neck. It is also an excellent choice for a relaxing feet massage which will help you take the stress off after a long day at work.
- Use aloe vera to keep skin strong and healthy
Aloe vera has several healing properties and stimulates new cell growth. It moisturizes and soothes without clogging pores on your skin. Applying aloe vera after you have washed your face each day makes your skin glow.
To check for allergic reaction to aloe vera, test it first by rubbing a few drops on your forearm and see if there is no reaction in 24 hours, although it should be safe to use.
- Moisturize after washing your face
Moisturize your skin with products that help lock in moisture, regulate the pH balance of your skin and promote healing. Do not exfoliate your skin if it feels dry, and don’t skip moisturizer as it is an important component of the skincare routine. Try to buy water-based moisturizers as they do not make the skin oily and keeps the skin hydrated.
- Apply sunblock daily
Wearing sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or above can help prevent skin cancer. Keep your skin shielded from harmful UV rays. Sunblock also guards against ageing signs, such as wrinkles, fine lines etc. Make sure to apply a sunblock cream every morning even if you are indoors, even on days when it is raining.
- Find a cleansing routine that works
Washing your face after you’ve worked up a sweat, in the morning, and right before bed is good for healthy skin. Use a cleansing product that will take off all the dirt and impurities from your skin.
- Drink more water
Our skin is made up of cells that need water in order to function properly. Skincare experts have recommended that there is a strong link between drinking more water and having healthier glowing skin. Try to drink at least eight glasses of water daily.
- Eat for your skin
Eating a diet that is rich in vegetables and fruits will boost the vitamins and antioxidants in your body. Eating healthy fats, like omega-3 fatty acids, and staying away from over-processed, junk foods may have a direct connection to a healthier skin glow.
