It is said that beauty comes from within. This is not totally wrong! Our skin is the window on our overall health. If our skin is oily or dry or if we have a lot of acne, it can be a symptom of what is happening inside our body, whether it is inflammation, hormonal change or poor nutrition. Treat your skin from the inside and you will see amazing results.
Eat, drink, shine
The only cleansing your skin needs is the one you make in your bathroom. However, it is important to eat anti-inflammatory foods such as nuts, salmon and broccoli or a glass of red wine. Increase your water intake too because skin cells do not work optimally when dehydrated. If you do not like drinking too much, eat more cauliflower that contains more than 92% water or cucumber.
Take dietary supplements
In a perfect world we would eat well all the time, but since it is almost impossible it is recommended to take dietary supplements like probiotics, which help to balance our digestive system. Other necessary supplements are omega 3 and linoleic acid. These anti-inflammatories reinforce skin barriers that keep moisture inside and remove irritation.
Take a nap
Too little sleep is associated with a shortening of telomeres, which are the protective structures that surround DNA. Research suggests that the longer the telomeres, the fewer signs of aging. In addition, a sleeping body uses less growth hormone which helps the skin to stay young. If you have trouble sleeping, smell some fresh lavender.
