Your Healthy Skin Lifestyle Begins Here!

Skin care is more than skin deep. Whether it’s drinking more water or making time to move your body, adopting a few simple lifestyle changes into your routine can rejuvenate your skin – and your spirit.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Eat for great skin.

• Omega-three fatty acids promote good skin health — and ground flaxseeds are an excellent source. Add them to your breakfast cereal for a skin-healthy start to your day.
• Add a glow to your complexion by eating fish twice a week. The oil found in fish helps nourish your skin and keep it soft.
• Healthy skin starts with Vitamin A. Eat plenty of dark orange and dark green vegetables each day.
• Snack on nuts such as hazelnuts or almonds to give your skin a boost of Vitamin E.

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

• Drink at least 6-8 glasses of H₂O (that’s right, water) to cleanse your skin from the inside out.
• Avoid alcohol as it dries out your skin, giving you premature lines and wrinkles.
• Stop smoking…yep, this zaps the water from your skin too – and causes fine lines around your mouth.

Head for the shade.

• Avoid sun exposure during peak hours: 10 a.m. — 3 p.m.
• Don’t leave home without wearing your sunscreen. Always wear an SPF 15 or higher and apply at least 20 minutes before heading outside.
• Wear protective clothing, such as a wide-brimmed hat and long sleeves when communing with nature during the day.

Move it or lose it.

• Exercise is great for body, mind and soul…not to mention your skin. All that blood pumping circulates oxygen through your body and does wonders for your complexion.
