A beautiful, glowing and healthy skin, is that too much to ask for? It seems as if it really is easier said than done to achieve that naturally glowing skin. However, it is not impossible. There are some simple things that you can do everyday to take care of your skin, so that you can achieve that healthy glow, which makes you feel beautiful, and even more importantly, confident! These tips do not include an extensive range of beauty products and a tutorial, this is about simple things that you can incorporate daily in your lifestyle to get that healthy skin naturally.
Accept & Love Your Skin
The first thing you need to do is to accept and love your skin the way it is. It could be pale or dark, it could have scars or acne marks, do not try to hide them or change them. Only when you learn to love your skin, and think that it is beautiful no matter what, then you can properly take care of it. If you are using numerous products to try and remove marks, hide scars and get unnaturally fair or tan, that’s when you are harming your skin rather than taking care of it. So, loving and accepting your skin is the first step.
Eat a healthy diet
Healthy skin on the outside primarily comes from the inside, and not from the outside. The foods that you eat every day largely impact how your skin looks. A diet full of fruit, vegetables, whole grains and proteins will have your skin looking at it’s best. The vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants that you can find in lots of plant-based foods contribute to a clear and healthy skin. You can treat yourself occasionally, but eating processed, sugary and oily foods mostly lead to breakouts and dull skin. So, keep it all balanced and try to follow an overall wholesome diet.
Stay hydrated
Staying hydrated is extremely important, not just for your body but also for your skin. Water provides enough oxygen to your skin and helps get rid of toxins that cause blemishes. Not drinking enough water causes dehydration which can lead to dry skin and wrinkles. You will be surprised at what drinking enough water can do for your skin. So, drink at least 8 glasses of water in a day. It can be just plain water, infused water, soups or smoothies, just make sure that you are drinking enough fluids.
Get enough sleep
You have surely heard of “beauty sleep”, well, it’s called that for a reason. Getting enough sleep every night is essential for having a healthy skin. While sleeping, your whole body is rested, and it repairs the skin cells. Not sleeping enough will put extra stress on your body which in turn will cause breakouts and other skin issues. Getting at lest 6-8 hours of sleep every night is necessary. Also, another thing to keep in mind is to keep your sheets and pillowcase clean. Not doing so can cause a buildup of grease and oil that can irritate your skin.
Regular physical activity
You know that exercising regularly is great for your overall health, and that includes a healthy complexion too. Regular exercise can do wonders for your skin, besides keeping you healthy and strong. When exercising, the blood circulation throughout your body increases delivering oxygen and nutrients to all areas of your body and getting rid of toxins. So more physical activity means healthier skin.

Treat Your Skin Gently
While it is necessary to properly cleanse your skin, daily cleansing can have a toll on your skin. Try to use gentle and mild products that are right for your skin. Do not use hot water and go for lukewarm instead. Long showers with hot water and lots of steam can also leave your skin very dry. Pat dry your skin with a towel after washing, do not rub harshly. Rubbing can destroy the moisture in your skin and damage delicate skin.
Moisturize
Moisturizing your face is a must-do in skincare. It is an important step to maintain your skin’s healthy cells and protect it from dryness and irritation. Dry skin actually causes breakouts and acne. Moisturizing prevents any further breakouts by balancing your skin’s moisture and complexion. By moisturizing your skin every day, you can reduce your chances of any skin problems arising. Dry environment can also dry your skin out. Use a air humidifier at home to prevent dryness and protect the skin moisture.

Protect your skin from sun damage
This might be the most important tip in this list. Most people are not aware how sun damage has an adverse effect on the skin. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause spots, wrinkles and other skin problems – as well as the risk of skin cancer. To protect yourself from sun damage, always use sunscreen, even on a cloudy day and even if you don’t necessarily get a sunburn! Use at least SPF 30 and reapply every few hours during the day. Avoid the sun when you can and wear a wide-brimmed hat and other protective clothing.
Keep it simple
It is easy to get sucked into the millions of ads of skincare products that promise to give you an instant healthy and beautiful skin. On top of that, skin care routines have gotten insanely complicated over the years, ranging from 10 to 15 steps of skincare. This means using products that have so many complicated ingredients which may not always be good for your skin. Try to keep it simple and of course, use what works best for you. Get a few good quality products that work for your skin and follow a simple skin care routine. As mentioned earlier, gentle cleansing, moisturizing and applying sunscreen are the most important steps in a skin care routine.
Let your skin breathe
Let you skin breathe when possible. If you apply make-up every day, make sure to clean it properly at the end of the day. Never, ever, go to bed with your make-up on, no matter how tired you are. Skip make-up whenever possible. And like mentioned above, do not apply layers and layers of different products on your face and let your skin pores breathe naturally. Wearing heavy make-up can cause breakouts and then you put more make-up to cover it up, until it becomes a vicious cycle!
Following these ten steps is very easy and can be easily incorporated into your lifestyle, and it is definitely worth it at the end. There is no hard and fast method to get a glowing and healthy skin overnight, just keep at it and you can slowly see the results.
If you have free time on your days off from work or on weekends, do some extra pampering, put some facial masks on, relax on the couch while wearing comfy underwear and read a book. Take time to take care of not just your skin but your overall health and well-being!
