Daily Dos for Gorgeous Skin


Gently cleanse once a day.

For normal skin types, washing with a creamy cleanser and lukewarm water is recommended. For oily skin the use of a gentle foaming cleanser twice daily is beneficial.


Apply sunscreen.

Applying sunscreen daily is one of the many ways to prevent your skin from aging. Reapplying sunscreen every few hours has also become the norm due to the fact that the ingredients protect you for about two hours.


Eat salmon, and lots of antioxidants.

Often hear people say you are what you eat, truth is it shows on your skin. Salmon's high omega-3 content and hydrate skin from the inside out. It also reduces the inflammation that causes skin redness. Antioxidant-rich foods and drinks—cherries, dark greens, green tea and coffee.

Exercise
Apart from all the weight you are likely to lose and the confidence booster, exercise improves your circulation and oxygen capacity; it improves your complexion and makes your skin glow.


Stress less & sleep at least 7 hours a night.

This is probably by far the most difficult thing on this list! We can’t help it we stress… a lot. But stress not only affects your frame of mind and sanity, it shows on your face. Cortisol, is a stress hormone, it ages the skin and can cause acne. Sleep reduces the cortisol level in your body. So it's a simple equation: Sleep = younger, clearer skin. So try speed walking or Zumba or even deep breathing exercises embrace the changes it brings.
