Hacks for healthy skin

Eat a healthy diet
There is a huge industry that is dedicated to products that keep your skin looking great, and which claim to fight those signs of aging. But your moisturisers are only able to go skin deep, and aging unfortunately, develops at a deeper cellular level.
What you put in your body by eating, is just as important as the products that you put on your skin. By eating a healthy diet, you could improve your skin health and clear your completion from the inside out.
Keep your stress in check
Ever noticed that right before that huge event your about to go to, an unsightly pimple appears on your face? Well, scientists have identified that there are some links between your stress levels and skin problems.
There was a study done with a group of college students, and those who were experiencing higher stress levels were more likely to have issues with their skin.
Keeping moisture in your skin
Moisturisers will just keep the top layer of your skin cells hydrated and seal in the moisture. Moisturisers will often have humectants to attract the moisture, occlusive agents to retain the moisture in your skin, and emollients to smooth out those spaces between the skin cells.
Quit smoking
By smoking, you are speeding up the aging process of your facial skin and skin located in other body areas. Smoking narrows the blood vessels that are found in the outer layer of the skin, this reduces blood flow and exhausts the skin of the oxygen and nutrients it needs in order to remain healthy.
Getting enough beauty sleep
Yes, it’s true, getting your beauty rest is very important for your skin health. It will get rid of those dark circles under your eyes and it will also improve your skin tone, and it’s free!
