Getting healthy skin can seem like an endless quest, particularly for those who’ve tried every product on the market. If you’ve been let down by bottles with big price tags on them, and you’re not quite ready for a full skin resurfacing yet then the answers you’re looking for might be right in front of you.
Instead of adding more chemicals to the biggest organ in your body, why not take care of it using natural solutions? Solutions like:
1. Dry Brush Exfoliation
The skin is the biggest organ in the body, and it gets clogged up with everything from dirt to dead skin. A dry brush exfoliation is when you run a gentle bristle brush over your skin before you get in the shower. This loosens up the things you don’t want in your skin so that when you wash they come out more easily.
2. Sweat It Out
Sweating might feel gross, but it’s actually good for your skin. A regular sweat (typically from enthusiastic exercise) is a good way to cleanse your skin and to get rid of anything that might be clogging it up or causing problems. This will help skin stay looking younger, longer.
3. Eat More Fiber
While it might be associated with seniors who need to “keep regular” bad skin is often a symptom of poor digestion. In order to make sure that the gut can do its job properly it’s recommended by the National Academy of Sciences that women age 19 to 50 take in 25 grams of fiber a day, and that women over 50 take in 21 grams of fiber. Men aged 19 to 50 should take in 38 grams of fiber, and men over 50 should take in at least 31 grams per day.
4. Cut Out Your Sweets
We rarely stop and think about just how much extra sugar is in modern day food. While greasy food is definitely bad for your skin excess sugar isn’t doing you any favors either. If you can’t seem to get your skin to behave then try drinking water instead of soda or fruit juice. If you need some sugar in your day then try to keep it natural by eating a piece of fruit. The reduced intake and healthier snacks will have a big impact on your skin in relatively short order.
5. Eat More Good Fats
Whether you have dry skin or not, eating the “good” fats can really help you maintain healthy skin. Cold water fish like salmon or sardines are packed with positive fats, but if you don’t like fish then you can always take fish oil supplements. Flaxseed and walnut oil make great salad dressings, but you can also get some good fats just from eating the right nuts. What you put into your body affects what your skin looks like a lot more often than you might think.
