World Health Day is the perfect time to resolve to pay some extra attention to the health of your body’s largest organ – your skin! When it comes to healthy, radiant skin, in addition to benefitting from skin care products formulated with good-for-you ingredients, regularly nurturing your spiritual wellbeing will also make a difference in the health of your complexion. So in honor of World Health Day, here are five healthy skin habits that will help you glow from the inside, out!
- “Clean” up the ingredients in your skin care products. Maintaining healthy skin isn’t just about what you put on its surface. Since the products you use eventually get absorbed into your body, it’s important to practice a clean approach to skin care – not just for your complexion, but for your overall health. It’s best to avoid harsh chemicals, sulfates, phthalates, and other ingredients that have shown to be health-harming. From natural botanical and marine ingredients like Sea Buckthorn and Deep Sea Water to science-made ingredients like Lipidure® PMB, there are many non-toxic ingredients with proven benefits like anti-aging, reducing redness, or fading spots, to help your skin look – and feel – its absolute best.
- Set a routine. One of the best healthy skin habits you can form is committing to a regimen. Whether it’s simply cleansing, treating, and protecting or indulging in the 10-step K-Beauty ritual, tending to your skin twice a day instead of taking it for granted will ensure its health and integrity today, and well into the future.
- Stay hydrated. Drinking the recommended 2.7 liters of water per day for optimal hydration can help flush out toxins, and also help your skin maintain elasticity, reduce puffiness, and retain moisture. Making it a habit to keep a face mist on-hand is another way to give thirsty skin a quick splash of healthy hydration whenever needed.
- Take time to de-stress. Carving out weekly “me-time” is essential to healthy skin. Stress can not only age your appearance, it can kick-off reactive conditions like eczema and psoriasis, trigger oil production, and even instigate breakouts. Sheet masks are great way to calm the skin and spirit, and give you a 15-to-20 minute pampering respite.
- Protect your skin from sun damage. Your skin is the first line of defense against the sun, so never skimp on that sunscreen and make sure it’s always the last step in your morning routine, before you leave home. Another healthy habit is to use products formulated with antioxidant-rich ingredients like Vitamin E to help reduce UV and free radical damage.
These are just few habits to help your skin glow with good health, not just on World Health Day but every day!
