How much attention do you pay to the skin on your face? After all, it’s the part of your body that is exposed to the elements more than any other. Combine constant exposure to the sun, the wind and the cold, the application of makeup, dirt and sweat. Our faces go through quite a lot. It’s important to pay them loving attention – each and every day!
What is the first step in giving our faces the attention they deserve?
It should come as no surprise to you that good nutrition is of vital importance. That begins with hydration. Dry, cracking and aging skin can be averted when we nourish it from the inside out. Drinking plenty of water every day is a big part of keeping our skin youthful. Eating a nutritious diet including fruits that are antioxidant-rich and fish that are high in omega-3 fatty acids is also great for your skin. Of course, don’t forget your veggies – especially avocados.
Avocados contain a lot of healthy fats that will help hydrate your skin. They also help to reduce bad cholesterol. Avocado is known as a “superfood”. It makes an incredible natural hydrating face mask as well. Simply mash up some avocado flesh in a bowl, add a teaspoon of avocado oil and apply the mixture to your face for five minutes. Then wash it off with lukewarm water. The end result will be an amazingly refreshing and nourishing face mask. It is both very easy to make and very effective at warding off the signs of aging.
What are the best ways to keep our skin nourished from the outside?
It goes without saying that washing our faces on a daily basis is mandatory. However, to adequately unclog pores and remove oil, dirt and dead skin cells, exfoliation is necessary. Using a gentle exfoliating cleanser or scrub will help to keep the skin on your face smooth and clean. Don’t forget to moisturize your face after the cleaning process. You don’t want the skin to dry out.
Then, when it’s time to get ready in the morning, insist upon wearing light makeup. “Heavy, oily, thick makeup can clog pores and cause all types of skin problems,” explains Deanna Sletten on SheKnows.com, “Instead, choose makeup with as few ingredients as possible or use mineral makeup products that will let your skin breath. These products also make it easier to wash away makeup at the end of the day. Your skin will reward you with fewer breakouts and a fresher look.”
