How To Keep Your Skin Looking Healthy

Taking care of your skin is essential. As the largest organ on your body, it pays to do whatever you can to ensure it looks as healthy as possible. As well as helping you to feel great in terms of your health, good skin will also boost your confidence, and that is just as important. 

Most people will know that in order to have healthy skin, you need to wash it every day, exfoliate, cleanse, and moisturize. Yet there are plenty of other things you can do to make your skin’s health even better. Read on to find out what just some of them are.

Use Sunscreen 

Sunscreen is something that should be used every single day, no matter if the sun is hot or if it’s raining and cloudy. The sun’s rays don’t have to be felt to do a lot of damage, and unprotected skin can lead to discoloration, texture changes, and, in the worst cases, skin cancer. Plus, sun damage will make you look much older than you need to. 

Wearing a good sunscreen every day, one that can double as a moisturizer and that contains important ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, is a great habit to get into, and it will ensure you don’t accidentally get caught in the sun without any protection. 

Get A Test 

Everyone’s skin is different, so what works for one person in terms of keeping their skin looking healthy may not work quite as well, if at all, for someone else. To solve this issue and discover exactly what kind of skin you have and what products will help you look healthier, you can take a test from Dynamic DNA Laboratories

When you do this, you will discover 25 different genetic traits regarding your skin’s aging process, what predispositions you might have to any skin conditions, and how best to treat your skin with the right products to take the best care of it. 

Eat Antioxidant-Rich Foods 

When you eat foods that are rich in antioxidants, you are helping your body fight free radicals. Free radicals are cells without a matching partner, and they ‘steal’ energy from other cells to make up for what they are lacking. This in turn means that various body organs can be affected and damaged – including the skin. By eating food containing antioxidants, you can combat the free radicals and keep your skin much better protected. 

When you are looking for antioxidant-rich foods, look for color. The more colorful the food is, the better it will be for you in this regard. Berries and leafy green vegetables are ideal, as they contain high amounts of antioxidants. 

Supplement Collagen 

As we get older, the collagen in our bodies reduces, even though it is the most abundant protein we have. Since collagen is what keeps the elasticity in our skin and means that wrinkles can’t appear, when there is less of it, wrinkles are much more likely. 

If you want to keep your skin looking healthy, or at least looking youthful, you can try collage supplements to make up for the reduced amount of natural collage you have.

  1. Thank you for reminding us how important it is to use sunscreen every day, even when it’s winter outside or it’s quite cloudy. Sun exposure is bad for the skin and causes wrinkles, age spots, and even skin cancer. It should especially not be neglected if you have any scars on your face, for example, after plastic surgery or post-acne. According to this source https://yarishmd.com/does-a-facelift-leave-scars-if-so-how-visible/, UV rays can damage them and make them more visible.
