If you improve your skin’s natural immunity, you will not only have fewer skin problems to deal with, you also end up with a more permanent glow to your skin. If you’re wondering how to go about it, the following are 5 simple steps through which you can build stronger skin.
1. Stay Hydrated
Good skin needs proper moisture and hydration, and one of the best ways you can achieve this is by staying hydrated and drink a total of 8 glasses per day. The more water you consume, the better you can flush out all the toxins and pollutants in your body. Staying hydrated also removes any dry patches on your skin too.
2. Improve Your Diet
Your diet nourishes your body and can make a huge difference on your skin as well. Start eating a balanced diet that is rich in iron, calcium, zinc, amino acids, carbs, and healthy fats. A balanced diet can work wonders in enhancing your skin, improving its tone, getting rid of dark spots and more. You’ll find that a number of skin problems automatically disappear when you start eating right.
3. Spend Some Time in the Sun
While a lot of emphasis is paid to how you need to apply sunscreen each time you step out into the sun, take some time to let your skin bask in the sun too. Our skin needs exposure to sunlight to naturally produce Vitamin D. Spending even 10 to 15 minutes under the sun is good for your skin and you’ll even feel your body thanking you. It also builds up the skin’s immunity to the UV rays and prevents you from getting sunburn as quickly or easily as before.
4. Cut Out the Stress
Stress can really mar the overall health of your body and make an impact on your skin as well. Stressed out skin is more prone to acne breakouts, wrinkles, dark circles and more. If you already have a skin condition such as eczema or psoriasis, trying to cut down the stress can work wonders in soothing your skin. You can do so by trying yoga, meditation, and deep breathing as well.
5. Quality over Quantity
The skin care products you buy should be chosen with care. In some cases, you might be doing too much, causing your pores to clog or using products that are too harsh for your skin. In such instances, don’t be afraid to step back and evaluate your skin care routine. While 7-step and 10-step skin care routines have become the norm, you may need to cut out steps and products from your routine. At the end of the day, you need to pick products that deliver on their results. Quality over quantity.
