Living a healthy lifestyle relies on so many different considerations. Whether it’s your exercise habits or your skincare regime, it’s about finding the practices and habits that work for you. If you’re looking to get healthier skin, these easy tricks and tips may well come in handy.
1 . Green tea
Looking for a natural toner to improve the health of your skin? First, make some green tea and then leave it to cool down. When the tea is cool, take a cloth and rub the tea onto your face. Using green tea on your skin has plenty of benefits, from anti-aging to soothing redness and irritation. If you have dark circles under your eyes, first steep the green tea bags and then place them just underneath your eyes. You can leave the tea bags like this for at least 10 minutes. If you’re particularly self-conscious about your dark circles, Colorescience provides makeup for dark circles under eyes.
- Exfoliate naturally
According to HealthLine, you should exfoliate at least two or three times each week. If you’re looking to exfoliate your skin naturally, coffee is the perfect ingredient. Coffee beans are full of antioxidants, which is just what you need to get youthful skin. To make the perfect exfoliator try mixing coconut oil with coffee scrub. You can use a coffee exfoliating scrub on your whole body. Exfoliating has so many benefits, including:
- Reducing the appearance of cellulite.
- Getting rid of dead skin.
- Boost circulation.
- Helps to unclog your pores.
- Can create a more even skin tone.
- Green & natural
Plenty of skincare products contain toxic ingredients, many of these chemicals are bad for your health. When you create a greener skincare regime, you’ll improve your health and go green too. Before you purchase a skincare product be sure to conduct detailed research and check the ingredients. To help you research, check out the ‘Think Dirty’ application. Using the app you can compare options, get info about the toxic ingredients, and find sustainable skincare products.
- Remember your sunscreen
To keep your skin lovely and healthy, sun cream should be part of your daily skin regime. With the right sun cream, you’ll protect your skin from sun damage and slow down the signs of aging. Sunscreen reduces the risk of skin cancer and helps you to achieve an even skin tone. Experts recommend an SPF of 30 or higher to ensure that your skin is protected. Many people prefer mineral sun cream as opposed to a chemical-based cream.
- Maintain a healthy diet
If you want radiant skin it’s important to maintain a healthy diet. According to the Mayo Clinic, ‘antioxidant-rich foods seem to have a protective effect for the skin.’ To keep your skin healthy, focus on foods like citrus fruits, carrots, spinach, kale, salmon, berries, and nuts.
