Are you looking to have smoother, healthier skin? You don’t necessarily need to find a magic formula to achieve it. Often, lifestyle changes can go a long way toward improving the quality of your skin—and there are a few specific changes that have been proven to deliver results.
Try forming a few of these healthy habits in order to achieve the radiant skin you’ve always dreamed of.
Lifestyle Changes for Healthier Skin
Combat Stress
Stress isn’t just in your head. Constant worry and anxiety can lead to acne breakouts, and a frowning face quickly develops wrinkles. If you want to promote skin health, one of the best things you can do is to remove stress from your life. Try finding a healthy outlet for your stress- exercise, a creative hobby, a massage, or even chatting with a therapist.
Hydrate
Drink more water! The effects are myriad: It flushes toxins out of your skin, and it can also help moisturize from the inside out. Well-moisturized skin is bound to have better color and better texture than dry, flakey skin—so start drinking more water today.
Wear Sunscreen
You don’t need sunscreen only on days when you go to the beach; you need it every day that the sun is shining and you are spending any kind of time outdoors. Consider investing in a daily moisturizer that comes with sunscreen in it.
Sleep More
You know that idea of beauty sleep? Well, it’s not just a fairy tale. Your body needs some time to refresh itself, and the skin is no exception. Try getting at least seven or eight hours of good sleep each night, and see how much your skin improves!
Eat Right
You are what you eat—and if you want to be someone with healthy skin, you need to consume the proper nutrients for it. This means a diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables—and not too many greasy, processed, sugary, or otherwise junky food choices.
Cleanse Regularly
Finally, make sure you have a healthy habit of cleansing your skin each day—and in particular of washing all the dirt, sweat, and makeup from your face before you go to bed each night!
