Essential Steps To Look Your Best Naturally
By Georgina Leverink
How is it that some people just seem to glow with health? What is their secret? Well the secret to looking good on the outside is looking after yourself on the inside and maintaining a regular natural body and skin care regime.
Well that is all well and good but what do we do and how do we do it? Well in this article we will explore the 7 essential steps that you need to follow to achieve healthy glowing skin without the surgeons scalpel. Natural body and skin care is vital to ensure we don't look older than we feel.
Sunny days and warmer weather are sure to put the bounce back into everyone’s step but this also means we start to expose parts of our bodies that have been hidden for months on end. Because we cover-up we tend to forget that the skin on our bodies also needs looking after and nourishing all year round. Days spent sitting in air-conditioned offices or at home on top of the heater can all draw moisture out of our skin leaving us dehydrated and scaley making us susceptible to premature ageing..
To ensure your skin is in optimal condition and ready to face the world here are 7 essential steps you can follow:
1. Hydrate
Drink at least 8 glasses a day of clean, purified water. Not only can we hydrate our skin from the outside, but drinking at least 2 litres of water a day ensures our cells are adequately hydrated. We should increase the amount if it is very warm or very dry.
*Remember to drink over time and not to drink a large volume all at once
2. Cleanse, Exfoliate, Tone and Moisturize
A regular natural body and skin care routine comprising these four steps is crucial for skin health. When our skin is cared for and hydrated it remains plump and supple, thus less susceptible to the ravages of premature ageing.
3. Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise.
Our body’s need application of a good moisturiser every day the same as our faces. All too often we neglect the rest of our body and focus on our face. Applying a body cream every day will ensure we are hydrating our skin to maintain firmness and elasticity. Use a good natural Daily Body Crème every day following your shower whilst skin is still damp to lock in the moisture.
4. Stay Out of The Sun
Protect your skin against the sun’s harmful rays by wearing a good sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. Wear it everyday, even on cloudy days as clouds do not block UV rays. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10am and 2pm when the rays are at their strongest.
5. Get a good night’s sleep.
Too little sleep makes you look and feel tired. Lack of sleep leaves telltale signs on our face giving us dark circles, bags and sagging skin. Most adults function best when they have had 8-9 hours of sleep each night. If you are having trouble sleeping try restricting caffeine and other stimulants during the day (with none in the evening), avoid eating after 8pm and try to establish a sleep routine whereby you go to bed and rise at the same times each day.
If your lack of sleep is troubling you, it’s important to discuss it with your healthcare provider.
6. Be active!
Exercise helps tone muscle, gets the blood flowing, alleviates stress and increases energy.
7. Eat a Healthy Diet
Focus your diet more on whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts and seeds. What you eat directly affects how you look, feel and function so it is of the utmost importance that you eat a healthy diet and restrict your intake of fatty, high sugar foods. A treat every now and then and in moderation can be good for your spirit but must not be consumed every day. You are what you eat so establish a healthy eating plan and you will reap the rewards.
The essential steps to healthy skin are simple but crucial. Spending a few minutes a day on a natural body and skin care regime and implementing changes to our diet and habits are all easily achieved. You just have to commit yourself to wanting to change your health for the better.
Make sure you use good quality natural body and skin care products to care for your skin. The products you choose should not contain any toxic, harmful chemicals and be based on natural, vegetable derived ingredients. Take this test, if you can't pronounce the ingredients then you shouldn't be putting it on your body.
