Each of us has our own definition of what healthy skin is. What are the characteristics of healthy skin? Basically healthy skin should be smooth, blemish-free, glowing, and radiant. These are the ideal characteristics of the skin. This can be achieved? Yes it is, but it may require some effort on your part, such as:
1. Be healthy: maintaining a healthy and balanced diet is one of the needs of healthy skin. As the saying goes “You are what you eat” is true. Some nutrients in the food we eat are not only for nourishing the body, but are also necessary for healthy skin. Eating healthy makes your skin look radiant and healthy.
2. Good skincare regimen: Having healthy, good-looking skin is having a good skincare routine. Cleansing, toning and hydrating should be the foundation of your beauty regimen. In addition, the choice of products to be used to cleanse, tone and hydrate is also equally important. Know your skin type. Products for dry skin have different desirable components than those for oily skin. There is also a different component to look for in a product that is desirable for sensitive skin. Finally, use products that contain only natural ingredients to avoid harmful side effects.
3. Avoid the sun – although the sun is also necessary for vitamin D to be absorbed, too much sun damages the skin by burning it. Therefore, tanning is a misconception of being healthy. Using products with a sun protection factor, avoiding the hours of the day when the sun’s heat is very intense and using protective equipment such as sunglasses is the best action to protect the skin from the sun.
4. Vitamin and mineral supplementation: In addition to having a healthy diet, as you age, you may need to support a good diet with vitamin and mineral supplements. There are vitamins and minerals that act on skin cells making their function effective. Free radicals increase in number and cause damage to the skin as you age, but most of today’s vitamin and mineral supplements are antioxidants that are effective in fighting free radicals, leaving skin healthy and radiant.
