Being
hip, classy and beautiful is actually not a day’s job. The fashion world of
today revolves around beauty and style. Every woman wants to look beautiful,
healthy and youthful and a daily and consistent regimen towards achieving these
is very essential.
Often,
our self-esteem is wrapped up in how young and healthy we perceive ourselves to
be. We always want to look our best and retain the youthful glow and all.
Regardless, there must be adequate balances so as to enable you project your
person duly, as well as make a real fashion statement.
That
said, here are five tips that can help you achieve a daily youthful glow;
A
sunscreen is a cream or liquid applied to the skin to protect it from the
damaging effects of the sun. As gathered by facts, 90 percent of wrinkles are
from exposure to harsh effects of sunlight. It’s a lot easier to prevent the
damage than it is to fix it afterwards.
And
so considering the erratic seasons in Nigeria, sunshine is expected anytime of
the day and it’s best to make applying this ‘wonder component’ to your skin a
ritual, irrespective of what time of the day you step out.
Look
out for a formula that offers broad-spectrum protection to help you guard
against UVA rays (the ones that cause premature aging) and UVB rays (one of the
main causes of skin cancer).
Creams
and make-ups that contain SPF are the best choice onwards if you’re looking to
make the difference.
The
reason you should munch this is simple: Wild nuts are rich in selenium, which
increases skin elasticity and may decrease skin cancer according to recent
studies.
They
are also full of high quality oils and fatty acids that fasten skin repair and
rejuvenation. Walnuts are known to be loaded with omega-3 fatty acids helpful
when it’s time ‘to lower inflammation and put brakes on breakouts’, says
Molly Morgan, Board Certified Sports Specialist Dietician.
Shopping
centers are now all over the place bringing you all you need; hence getting
mixed nuts from any of these outlets shouldn’t be any difficult. Aim for a
handful of these daily to reap their pore perfecting benefits.
There
is a type of sleep called ‘beauty sleep’ and it’s for a reason. ‘Sleep
deprivation lowers circulation which is why you are pale, washed out and less
than yourself when you get only a few hours,’ says a U.S physician
board-certified in dermatology.
Night
time is the best time to rejuvenate the skin. Your body’s cellular renewal team
also works optimally at night. So for any form of enhancing application, the
‘night shift beauty sleep’ does a perfect job at renewing the body optimally.
Coming
back to the realities of our Nigerian environment, it is almost impossible to
always get the daily requirement of eight hours sleep.
A
not-too-far-fetched therapy, however, is always having soy milk around to help
fake a good night’s sleep. The natural anti-inflammatory elements in this
reduce swelling, while soy proteins hydrate the skin to soften that look of
crow’s feet. Dunk cotton balls in soy milk today, squeeze out excess and hold
over eyes for about two minutes.
This
juicy pink treat is some lycopene-rich food. It is called ‘the wonder fruit of
the tropical region’, as it is also a very rich source of carbohydrates,
vitamins A&C and potassium.
‘It
helps reduce damage and redness caused from sun exposure, defuses ‘free
radicals’, prevents future wrinkling and possibly lowering the risk of skin
cancer’ says Elizabeth Somer, nutritionist
and author of Eat Your Way To Sexy.
It
is very good for the skin and removes excess oil from the skin, which in turn
cures many skin problems like acne and pimples.
A
recent US-based research claims you can achieve that younger looking skin with
just two cups of watermelon daily. It can be eaten in various forms like juice,
salads and purees to mention a few.
The
importance of water in helping you achieve your dreams of a beautiful skin can
never be over emphasized.
Water
helps clear the toxins that cause inflammation and blemishes. It also assists
in transporting nutrients and oxygen to skin cells and in preventing
dehydration which can cause premature aging.
Water
also makes the skin appear fuller since the hyaluronic acid that naturally
exists in the skin will pull in and hold the water for wrinkle plumping effect.
Eight glasses of water a day is an essential daily need. Once, I read the story
of a woman on the internet and how she was able to achieve a flawless look
after three months of adapting to this water therapy. This certainly does not
come without the stress of having to use the rest room more than normal. But I
guess with the price comes the benefits as well, isn’t it?
Beyond
these points, lemon also comes helpful as they help fade aging spots, as well
as brighten and soften the skin.
