Your body needs the right nutrients to fight off damage and your skin is no different. Nutrients help the cells multiply and have more energy. Other than nourishing your body, protecting yourself from harmful chemicals, and getting enough sleep, relaxation and exercise will help you maintain a healthy skin. Listed below are some points to help keep your skin healthy:

  • Clean your makeup brushes: Wash your brushes every two to three weeks and then apply your foundation, to avoid infections.
  • Munch on mixed nuts: Brazil nuts are rich in selenium, which increases skin elasticity and decreases the risk of skin cancer. Nuts contain high quality oils and fatty acids, which aid in skin repair and rejuvenation.
  • Drink plenty of water: Even a small amount of dehydration reflects on your skin.
  • Sanitise your smartphones: The glass touch screen on mobile devices can spread viruses. Clean the screen of your mobile before you use it.
  • Eat a rainbow- coloured plate of food: Consume the widest variety of anti-oxidants, with which you can fight off the different kinds of free radicals to protect your skin.
  • Limit your sun exposure: Small amounts of daily sunlight provide vitamin D, which is beneficial, but too much sun exposure may damage your skin.
  • Cleanse your body: A build-up of toxins in the body from the air, water, and food causes damage to the body. Spend time in nature and eat healthy!
  • Sleep: Sleep is very important for your skin. Your skin rejuvenates and repairs itself mostly while you are asleep. Make sure you get eight hours of sleep.
  • Exercise: Exercise increases the circulation of oxygen and nutrients and releases toxins through sweat for clearer and firmer skin.
  • Smoking: Apart from various respiratory and heart troubles, smoking also makes your skin dry. So, quit smoking for healthy skin.
