Let’s face it; 99% of us care for healthy, clear, glowy skin. The rest already have that!

Most of us will spend money on various products to get a real-life insta-filtered skin. However, most of these products only cover up the cracks and provide a temporary solution to a more severe problem. Have you ever wondered why your skin appears older or what is causing the dryness or roughness?

You are, after all, what you eat, especially when it comes to your skin. You can clearly get an idea from the pale face of an ill person or the wrinkles and dry skin of someone who smokes or has a body full of toxins and poor nutrition. Notice someone’s face when they’re stressed, tired, or depressed. Do you think cosmetics can cover that up completely? It’s time we dive deep into our skin health rather than skin deep.

Symptoms You Shouldn’t Neglect:

• Hair Fall: Around 30 million women experience noticeable hair loss. Illness, medications, or hormones can all cause hair loss. Hidden food intolerances are also common causes of hair loss. Only a hair fall-prevention shampoo will not serve!

• Excessive Dryness: Dry skin can also be caused by eczema or psoriasis besides a weather change. This can also be due to low vitamin E in the body rather than less application of less moisturizer.

• Acne/Breakouts: It’s not only the dirty makeup brushes that cause you acne or the new sunscreen you just bought. Infection, tissue inflammation, clogged hair follicles, nutrient deficiencies, and hormonal imbalances can all contribute to acne. Acne is also triggered by nutrient deficiencies in zinc, vitamin A, B6, vitamin C, and selenium. Sugar, dairy, and other food sensitivities could be causing your acne too.

Things In Your Hand:

• Water, Water, And More Water – Nothing beats hydration – short and simple.

• Eat More Vegetables – This is the simplest way to enhance gut health for everybody! Fiber in vegetables can act as a prebiotic, stimulating the growth of microorganisms in the stomach. Five servings a day are recommended, with one serving equaling a cup of salad or 1/2 cup of cooked veggies! If you suffer from bloating, limit your intake of ‘windy’ vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and sprouts.
• Increase Your Essential Fatty Acid Intake – Oily fish, avocado, olive oil, hemp seeds, and flaxseeds are all good sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
• Increase your intake of foods high in polyphenols – These are foods made from plants that are brilliantly coloured. They can reduce free radicals that can damage cells and act as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents.
• Exercise – the effect of exercise on your skin has received little attention until now. Exercise intensity, session length, and even the time of day and physical environment all impact the health and appearance of our skin. Sweating is unavoidable in exercise, a bodily function for removing toxins and impurities, causing a boost in radiance to reduce breakouts.
• Get Enough Sleep – Your body boosts blood flow to your skin while you sleep, giving you a healthy shine. Sleep deprivation lowers blood flow to the skin around your face, resulting in a dull, lifeless complexion.

Your skin directly hints at your age, lifestyle, and overall health. It is one of the first things people notice about your outward appearance. Each year, billions of dollars are spent on the skincare industry. So-called “perfect” skin is promised by-products and treatments. However, the most significant influence on your skin’s long-term health and appearance comes from within.
