 What helps your skin?
(back)
Nurture your skin's natural beauty - from inside and outside -through
lifestyle and skin care treatment. This is the best way to help
your skin.
Lifestyle
Remember that your skin mirrors your lifestyle. It reflects what
you eat, drink and do. So invest in your skin's continued health
and beauty by remembering these simple lifestyle pointers:
What to eat?
Eat a balanced diet - a poor diet deprives your skin of vitamins,
minerals and trace elements essential to its health. Eat plenty
of fresh vegetables, fruit and fibre. Vitamins A, B and C are some
of the dietary "musts" for healthy skin, as are proteins and essential
fatty acids, all supplied in a good, balanced diet.
Six simple rules for internal nourishment
- plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables
- a wide variety of foods
- more fibre
- less fat
- less sugar
- less salt
What to drink?
Drink plenty of water - this aids in the elimination of wastes and
toxins from the skin. Adults need at least 1 - 1.5 liters a day.
Avoid too much tea and coffee, which contain caffeine.
What to do?
Get enough sleep - cell repair increases while you sleep. Tiredness
and exhaustion deprive skin of the energy needed to recover and
regenerate.
Exercise regularly - keeping your body fit minimizes stress and
helps stimulate blood flow which will benefit your skin.
