8 Sure Ways to Get More Beautiful Skin

by Chinwer Russell

Everyone wants to have more beautiful skin. Your skin is something everyone can see and is hard for you to cover up when it is not looking at its best. It can be extremely frustrating when your skin is not responding to treatments the way you want it to. There are a few things you may be missing in your skin care routine that could make a huge difference in the way your skin looks and feels.

#1 - Drink more water. Your skin needs water to stay balanced and look radiant. Keeping your body hydrated is not only good for your skin, but it is great for the rest of your body as well. Drinking eight glasses of water a day is the minimum amount needed to keep your body hydrated and healthy. Try for a few glasses more to help flush out the toxins in your body.

#2 - Protect your skin from the sun. The sun is extremely damaging even on darker skin tones. Wear sunscreens or sunblock when you are out in the sun. When your skin is exposed to direct sunlight, your skin becomes damaged and ages more quickly. Wear hats and long sleeves to protect your skin from the harsh sun during all seasons, and your skin will be healthier from your efforts. 

#3 - Stop using harsh chemicals on your skin. Some people become desperate to make their skin look more beautiful, especially if they are suffering from acne breakouts. They will buy products filled with harsh chemicals trying to find a solution for their skin, but they often make their skin worse by overusing these products. Opt for skincare that uses natural ingredients and that is gentle on skin.

#4 - Eat a healthy balance of foods. People live by the saying that “they are what they eat”, and this is true. A balance of healthy foods can make your skin look radiant and healthy. Greasy and processed foods can make your skin breakout and look dull. Be more aware of what you are putting into your body and you will be amazed at how your body responds.

#5 - Use less makeup. If the skin on your face is a problem because it is too dry, oily, or dull, you may be suffocating your skin with too much makeup. Makeup can clog the pores and create breakouts. Some products will make oily skin even oiler and drier skin even drier. Let your skin breathe whenever you do not feel pressed to wear makeup, like at home or on the weekends, and remember to wash your makeup off at night.

#6 - Use a moisturizer on your skin. Your skin needs to stay moisturized to resist aging, repair itself properly, and for the skin cells to live a healthy life cycle. Using a light moisturizing cream can help restore what your skin desperately needs and is missing. You should use a moisturizer after you cleanse your face to restore its natural balance.

#7- Turn back the hot water. Very hot water can strip the skin of all of its moisture and make the skin look dull and flaky. You might even breakout more because your skin will produce an excess of oil to replace what the skin has lost. Wash yourself with lukewarm water and do not harshly scrub your skin. Gentle washing is adequate to keep your skin healthy and clean.

#8 - Talk to a dermatologist if problems persist. If you can't figure out what you are doing wrong when taking care of your skin and your skin will not respond positively, talk to a dermatologist. This is very important to understand any underlying causes of problems and to prevent any more damage from being done to your skin.
