This
weekend I want to share a quick reminder of the 7 culprits to unhealthy skin.
Healthy skin doesn’t take major work, just a little bit of TLC everyday and
some lifestyle changes. The little things make a big difference; little things
such as, drinking enough water or washing your face at the end of the day to
get rid of all the pollutants on the skin. There are however, 7 important ‘Don’ts’
you must keep to if you want your skin to serve you for a good long while to
come.
Over Exposure to the Sun: This produces molecules on the
skin called free radicals that destroy healthy cells of the skin. They also
destroy the skins Collagen and Elastin. Also note that 10minutes in a tanning
bed is equivalent to a full day of unprotected exposure to the sun.
Smoking: Cut down on the smoking or better still quits
completely because Nicotine constricts the blood vessels of the face making the
skin look dull. It also destroys the skins Collagen and Elastin.
Alcohol: A little red wine is good for
the heart but anything done in excess isn’t. Alcohol dilates blood vessels and
in sensitive skin could lead to broken veins. Alcohol dehydrates the skin and
reduces its firmness and elasticity.
Stress: This directs the flow of blood away from the
surface of the skin to the limbs, a natural survival instinct in the body. As
often as you can, have a relaxing bath with a few added drops of Lavender oil
to relax your nerves.
Lack of Sleep: Our skin repairs itself at night when we sleep. New
cells are rebuilt replacing the Collagen and Elastin lost during the day due to
the sun and pollution. Please get your ‘Beauty Sleep’!
Pollution: Pollution in the air we breathe and from food
additives & pesticides contribute to ageing of the skin. Where possible,
eat organically produced fresh fruits & vegetables and take healthy walks
away from polluted city centres.
Lack of Exercise: Exercise helps to boost the skins
tone by increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood. It also helps to reduce
the toxins that build up under the skin.
So this
weekend, eat healthy, exercise well and have a nice long rest, you could wake
up looking years younger!
Have
a lovely weekend.
