at a younger age, preferably at adolescent age when acne/pimples usually raise their head. Eating nutritious and balanced diet and avoiding junk food; drinking adequate amount of fluids/water; avoiding excessive sun exposure; keeping your digestive system in good order; having active lifestyle; doing regular exercise and having adequate rest/sleep will definitely help keep your skin radiant and young looking for longer.
Role of Nutrition in Skincare
78. At every stage in human life proper nutritious diet plays an important role to keep a person fit and healthy with a radiant skin. Studies show that the right diet can definitely ward off wrinkles, banish breakouts and get your complexion glowing. Evidence is steadily mounting that what you eat or don’t eat on a daily basis, may indeed have a powerful effect on how well your skin regenerates itself and how radiant and smooth it looks – both now and years down the line. There is no one food that decides good skin or good complexion. However, if you eat right you will stay for ever young. What you eat affects every organ in your body and skin is no exception. Nutritious food is the one that contains all the nutrients – proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins in correct proportions and in an adequate amount.
79. Deficiencies of certain nutrients, such as minerals, vitamins and essential fatty acids are known to cause various forms of dermatitis and other skin conditions. Too little vitamin A or essential fats and you have dry, rough skin; and too little zinc is a recipe for greasy skin and stretch marks. We don’t realise that when it comes to good skin, what is put in the body is more vital than what you put on it. No amount of skincare and beauty products in the universe can keep your skin looking good, if you are not eating the right food. Luckily foods good for the skin are also good for your waistline!
80. The skin is constantly attacked by free radicals, released in the body as the toxic end products of the metabolic process. The skin needs antioxidants to fight the free radicals and to rejuvenate and repair itself. Antioxidant vitamins A, C and E are compounds found in natural uncooked and unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, nuts, seeds, sprouts and herbs. Consume your food choices in moderation. Eating healthy can be a little hard and time consuming at first, but stick with it, and you will see the positive results. Not only will you look and feel absolutely, wonderful, but that will also expose a brand new person on the inside out. Thus for glowing gorgeous, youthful skin without plastic surgery or botox
