Simple tips to give your skin a glow

Skin Care

If you’re a health nut, you have probably heard of all manner of detoxes. With common ones being liver, body and kidney detoxes. While all that is good and very beneficial to your health, have you ever thought for a minute that your face needed some love too?

Adding a detox to your skin care routine can lead to a healthy, younger and glowing skin. Here are six simple steps that will have you throwing away your expensive chemical laced products and ditching your dermatologist for good.

Healthy Diet

Take care of your skin from the inside out by watching what you eat and it will take care of you.  Reducing your intake of processed foods and substituting with fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes and whole grains will do wonders for your complexion.  Tomatoes, oranges, berries and avocados all have nutrients that keep your skin hydrated, fight wrinkles and prevent break outs. The nutrients also have anti-aging properties. A raw or slightly cooked diet of vegetables and fruits will have you thanking mother earth.

Regular Exercise

Exercising regularly gets your blood pumping and is great in flushing out toxins from the body. Regular exercise leads to a great skin and helps with anti-aging. So hit the gym or download a work out video and get started.

Drinking Lots of Water

Other than fruits and vegetables, take lots of clean filtered water to hydrate your skin from the inside out. The importance of water cannot be stressed enough.

Dry Skin Brushing

Your skin is the largest organ of your body that mainly eliminates substances from your body. Brushing your dry skin helps eliminate dry skin cells and triggers regeneration of new cells. It also increases blood circulation which leads to elimination of toxins from your body. This generally enhances the appearance of your skin.  To do this, get a brush with natural bristles and brush!

Cleansing and Moisturizing

Regularly cleanse your skin especially in the night time. Wash your face in the morning and after removing make up. Make sure to moisturize and protect your skin from the sun rays by staying in the shade, wearing hats and using a natural sunscreen. These will all help in the anti-aging process and overall appearance of your skin.

Visit a Sauna

Every now and then treat yourself to a sauna.  If you thought you never had a reason to do so before, now you do. Not only will you have time to give your body and skin a rest but the heat will help you sweat out the toxins in your body leading to a healthier skin.
