How to Maintain Perfect Skin

We all know the skin is our body's largest organ and contains two main layers, the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is the outer layer of skin that protects the skin from bacteria, dirt, and other particles. The dermis is the inner layer that supplies blood and oxygen to the skin. The skin also regulates our body's temperature and acts as a sensor to any external factors of pollution, sunlight, and stress.Several different factors such as aging, dryness, moisture, and diet, can affect your skin's condition.
If your diet is full of excessive amounts of processed food and exercise only means opening the refrigerator door, your skin won’t look its best. DNA and body composition also play a large role in how your skin will look, but that’s a variable that we can’t control. Instead the focus must shift to things we can control:• Eating healthy is the most fundamental way to improve your body and skin health. Antioxidant rich foods abound and that their consumption can keep your organism healthy and thus able to repair itself. In addition, daily application of topical skin care products rich in antioxidants, amino acids, hydrators and protectants offer your best strategy against premature aging of your skin. Good nutrition and beauty do go hand in hand.
• Exercise is an excellent way to clear out toxins and improve circulation. It also flushes your lungs with fresh air, pumps your blood and oxygenates the skin. Exercising 3 to 4 times per week circulates nutrients around the skin which provide the building blocks for repair and growth. Exercise also allows you to flex and stretch your skin which in turn increases circulation and stimulates your lymphatic system. Periodic facials and massages are particularly healthy for your skin. Exercise is a great way to get that healthy “glow”! Please, get confirmation from your doctor before starting any exercise routine.
• Reducing stress keeps wrinkles and frown lines away. This is no joke! Frowning, and worry lines are caused by facial expressions induced by stress. Stress also weakens the body’s ability to defend and repair itself. Reduce your stress by learning new coping skills such as meditation, breathing and spirituality. Mind, Body and Soul are not just 3 words that go together well. They should become part of your everyday philosophy and beauty regime.
• Getting rest is critical because it relaxes your body and enables your body to repair itself. How can your body function optimally if you’re exhausted all the time?! Make time for sleep and give your body a chance to regenerate.
