How is this possible? By taking steps to improve your overall
health and well-being so you will look and feel younger as you
get older. Good nutrition, exercise, sleep, sun protection and a
good skincare routine can help you maintain your youthful
appearance and well-being at all stages of your life. Your skin
is the most visible indicator of your general health and the
condition of your skin is often the first signal of illness nor
nutrition problems. Sallow, dull or blotchy skin often reflects
a disease or nutritional deficiency. A vibrant glowing
complexion reflects a state of good general health.
Your skin needs protection both inside and out. Inner and outer
nutrition are really two sides of the same coin. It makes sense
to nourish the body within to obtain the correct balance of
nutrients, because a healthy body is reflected in healthy skin.
A correct balance of vitamins and minerals is essential for a
wonderful, vibrant, healthy glow to your skin. Eating plenty of
fresh fruit and vegetables and using a high quality multivitamin
supplement can do wonders for your appearance.
Your skin also needs specific nourishing. Skin also needs
protection from damaging environmental conditions like exposure
to sun, wind and pollution. This is why a regular skin care
regime is so essential at any age. Our skin is the barrier that
shields us from:
• Physical impact such as pressure and knocks
• Thermal influences from heat and cold
• Environment effects, such as chemicals, the sun's UV radiation
and bacteria. The skin contains secretions that can kill
bacteria and the pigment melanin which provides a chemical
defence against ultraviolet light.
To maintain healthy, glowing skin ensure:
• Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to hydrate and cleanse
your skin
• Wear sunscreen on all exposed areas throughout all seasons
• Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables
• Top up with a good quality vitamin and mineral supplement
• Be vigilant with a morning and evening cleansing, toning and
moisturizing routine
