Every skin care routine requires an adequate water intake. Most people know about the benefits of drinking water on your overall health. Water is also a crucial part of keeping your skin hydrated and healthy. If your skin is dry and dull, try using a regular moisturizer as well as increasing your intake of water. If you exercise a lot or live in dry climate, you may require more than the suggested 8 glasses of water per day. Limit your intake of alcohol and caffeine, which can dehydrate you. Exercise regularly Exercise is important to keep your body fit, but it's also wonderful for your skin. Cardiovascular exercise keeps nutrients moving through your blood stream so that can repair and nourish your skin. Exercise regularly to help improve the health and appearance of your skin. Also consume an equilibrated diet of vegetables, whole grains, fruits, lean meat and good fat to keep your skin and body healthy.

Eat foods rich in essential fatty acids Essential fatty acids (EFA's) are very important in keeping a healthy skin. They reduce inflammation and support skin structure. Most people get plenty of Omega-6 (found in red meat, processed food and eggs) but insufficient Omega-3 (found in cold water fish, like salmon, sardines and tuna, as well as nuts and flaxseed). Try to include foods rich in Omega-3 into your regular diet.

Use healthy skin care products Your skin is the body's primary defender against germs and toxins. If you have a healthy skin, then it's able to give better defense. It's important that you use caution when applying skin care and hair care products because most of them are bad for your skin. Detergents, petrochemicals, fragrances and other components can clog pores, cause irritation and damage your skin. Look for cleansers, moisturizers, skin treatments, cosmetics and other skin care solutions identified as natural products, with natural components rather than abrasive chemicals.

Always wear sun protection The solar UV rays can cause fine lines, discolorations, premature aging, age spots, wrinkles and even dermal cancer. Protect your skin with a sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher. If you are going to be for a long period of time in direct sunlight, wear a hat and sunglasses to defend your scalp and eyes as well.

Fight free radicals with antioxidants Free radicals result from the exposure to stressors, including the sun, pollution and smoke. Free radicals can cause inflammation and cellular damage to the collagen in the skin. Collagen is one of the main elements of the connective tissue that keeps skin firm and wrinkle free. Free radicals and their damage can be fought with antioxidants. Antioxidants like Vitamins A, C, and E are found in brightly colored fruits, berries, vegetables and some legumes.

By remembering these skincare tips, you can nourish, protect and repair your skin.
