1. Stop Smoking
Not only is smoking bad for your lungs and overall health, but smoking is one of the main causes of premature wrinkles and a dull complexion. Quitting smoking can make a huge difference in brightening up your skin’s appearance and adding years to your life.
2. Wear Sunscreen
The sun is another potential enemy of flawless skin. UV rays can cause wrinkles, skin discoloration and even fatal skin cancer.
Wearing a sunscreen with at least SPF25 can protect your skin and keep your complexion beautiful.
3. Drink Water
Water cleanses toxins out of your system and hydrates you, acting as a natural skin purifier and moisturizer.
Drink at least 2 liters of water a day (or more if you’re active) in order to keep your skin refreshed and rejuvenated.
4. Eat a Balanced Diet
The saying ‘you are what you eat’ has a lot of truth to it. Eating a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, grains and dairy keeps you healthy, and when you’re healthy on the inside it also shows on the outside.
5. Exercise
Exercise keeps you fit and toned and also sends endorphins through your body, improves blood flow, and sends oxygen to your skin, which results in a healthier and more radiant complexion.
6. Get a Good Night’s Rest
Being overtired can add years to your complexion. It is suggested that the average adult should get at least eight hours of sleep a night in order to stay healthy and keep skin looking its best.
7. Cut Down on Stress
Stress can cause unsightly lines and tension in the face. Cutting down on stress can make serious improvements to your complexion and your mind. Techniques like yoga, meditation, or even brief exercise can all help to decrease stress and keep your skin looking youthful.
8. Eat ‘Superfoods’
It has been proven that certain foods are extremely effective in improving skin complexion. Foods rich in antioxidants such as blackberries and blueberries and foods with a high Omega-3 content like salmon and walnuts all contribute to healthy and vibrant skin.
9. Use a Good Facial Cleanser
A good facial cleanser is key to a flawless complexion.
Depending on your skin type, a good cleanser will remove impurities, moisturize, combat blemishes and keep your skin glowing and fresh.
10. Take Your Vitamins
Vitamin A, Vitamin D and Vitamin B are all important for maintaining ideal health. Adding a simple multi-vitamin to your daily routine can do wonders for improving the appearance your skin and overall vitality.
So, clearly, you can create the perfect complexion by taking some simple steps and adjusting your lifestyle slightly. There is no need for invasive surgical procedures or ‘pricey’ miracle products.
