How to Get Glowing Skin?

Getting clear skin that glows has become a very complicated task these days especially when there are several attributes to pull you down from this endeavor. Stress, pollution, sun damage, unclean habits, lifestyle, irregular dietary patterns and many others are equal responsible for the same. Glowing skin may not be a very difficult dream if you follow certain techniques and understand appropriate ways to take care of your skin.

You can get clear and glowing skin by following a two way strategy: internal and external. The internal method refers to the diet you need to follow so that your skin stays hydrated and your body is cleansed thoroughly. The external method refers to applications on skin and lifestyle habits.

Skin Friendly Diet

Any expensive skin care product will do no justice until you follow it up with a suitable dietary regime. For getting clear skin, make it a practice to include oily fish in your diet. This nourishes your skin and gives it the much needed luster. Flax seeds contain essential fatty acids and enhances your skin’s health. Raw vegetables such as kale, broccoli, carrot, tomatoes and sweet potatoes enrich the skin with generous doses of Vitamin A and give it life and color. Hazelnuts and almonds have Vitamin E in them and so help you get clear and glowing skin with enhanced skin tone. Increased use of sugar and white flour promotes wrinkles and other signs of aging. So avoid them as much as possible.

Lifestyle Habits

If you are a workaholic, it will show on your skin eventually. So will the signs be visible when you undergo a lot of stress, reduce sleeping hours, indulge in irregular eating, smoke and consume alcohol or caffeine. Smoking equals premature aging since it causes wrinkles and makes skin dry. Alcohol dehydrates skin and renders it dull. Do not touch your face too often since you may deliver bacteria from fingertips directly to your face and end up causing breakouts.

Use the right kind of products. It is good to wash your face but do not overdo it and strip your facial skin of essential oils and moisture. If your routine demands travel and to be out in the sun, choose an effective sun block to keep harmful rays of the sun away from your skin. However, do not deprive yourself completely because you will lose out on Vitamin D and the sun is an excellent source of this vitamin. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and to allow your skin to breathe freely. Sleep the required number of hours everyday and stay away from burning midnight oil for as many times as possible.
