Tips for Healthy Skin

Your skin is a reflection of what you put in your body.  The skin as one of the largest organs in the body communicates with our internal environment and the condition of the skin is reflective of our internal balance.  We need to nourish our skin from the outside eating a well-balanced diet high in antioxidants with plenty of water for hydration.

Some important antioxidant vitamins include:

• Vitamin A - Helps protect against UV sun damage and contributes to the renewal of skin cells.  Sources include egg yolk, liver fish oils.
• Vitamin C - Also protects against UV damage.  It is also vital for collagen synthesis.  Sources include citrus fruits, red & green peppers.
• Vitamin E - A powerful antioxidant that fights skin ageing.  Sources include wheat germ, olive oil, leafy greens.
• Vitamin D - Regulates cell transformation.  Sources include sardines, dairy egg yolks.
• Vitamin B - Important in the maintenance of hair, nails, skin, significant in the restoration of elastin & collagen.  Sources include leafy greens, fruit, potatoes, whole cereals.

In addition to a good diet regular, moderate exercise improves circulation to the skin delivering to it oxygen and nutrients.  Quality rest rejuvenates the skin so a good night's sleep is vital.

Stress and worry show upon on the skin so taking the time for relaxation and doing activities to help de-stress boosts the skins' healing processes.  Add to these an efficient skin care routine with effective products, sun protection, and a healthy lifestyle. All will contribute to a healthy, vibrant skin that ages gracefully and beautifully.
