Follow these steps to healthy, happy skin
1. Cleanse, tone and moisturise
Cleanse thoroughly, Tone to prep skin and Moisturise to keep skin well hydrated. Follow through this simple skincare regime daily to keep the skin essentially happy.
2 . Move that body
Pump up the heartbeat and give your body a quick adrenaline rush. Studies have shown that exercising produces heightened levels of endorphins which is a natural mood lifter. Better blood circulation will also give your skin the natural glow it needs to stay happy.
3. Boost your juice intake
Up your vitamin and antioxidant levels with a fresh cup of juice everyday to perk the skin, giving it a fresh and clean glow. Juices provide extraordinary amounts of essential vitamins and minerals for skin cells, working from inside out, so your skin is healthier and happier too!
4. Drink up
Ensure you get 6 to 8 glasses of fluid daily to keep the skin moist, supple and refreshed. Water is a natural cleanser that helps eliminates toxins from the body. Hydrated skin will help fend off developing fine lines and blemishes so a clear complexion keeps you smiling!
5. Never leave home without sun protection
UV rays are the main reason for premature aging and damaged skin cells. Giving the skin adequate care and protection from sun’s exposure will ensure the skin is kept healthy and happy.
6. You need those Zzzs
Indulge in quality and a constant sleep pattern daily. Sleep gives the body time to restore itself and to re-energise the body's organs and skin. A regular sleep pattern will take the weariness of the skin, leaving it refreshed and rejuvenated.
7. After bathtime is your prime time to moisturise
Apply your moisturiser while your skin is still damp and warm. Oils, lotions, and other moisturisers can do their job better when the skin is still moist. This will ensure that skin takes in maximum benefits for improved results. Moisturised skin is happy skin.
8. Have a light heart
An average adult laughs 17 times a day. Take the frowns and stress away from your face and the skin will take cues to relax as studies have found stress to be a cause for breakouts. Laughing is contagious – so spread the laughter with those around you!
9. Stub out that cigarette
Cigarette smoke depletes your body of Vitamin C, a key ingredient required for collagen production for taut and younger-looking skin. Smoking also significantly increases the appearance of wrinkles and dry skin, aging the skin prematurely. So do your skin a favour and kick this nasty habit.
10. Keep away from artificial ingredients
Artificial fragrance, colouring, comedogenic ingredients, denatured alcohol, lanolin and mineral oil can clog pores, cause irritation, strip moisture from the skin, and cause skin to be sensitised which may then lead to breakouts. Make sure you read your ingredients list before applying any to skin.
