What applies to our facial skin can’t really be wrong for our legs and body, can it? Beautiful skin is mainly characterized by good connective tissue, because plump skin with good circulation is usually considered healthy-looking. We show you our top 5 best tips for healthy skin.
Top 5 tips and tricks for healthy skin
1. our body and skin need sufficient hydration, both from the inside and the outside. This is because water is a component of all body cells and is necessary for the metabolism. It is therefore important to drink plenty and thus supply the body with the necessary fluids from the inside. Natural ingredients for external care are just as important, they should not be drying and artificial fragrances should also be avoided. Although it may not be easy to avoid fragrances, they can cause irritation or allergies. Ingredients such as shea butter, urea, glycerine, coconut oil or panthenol provide good moisturizing support. Spirularin Gel and Spirularin Mousse plus , for example, combine intensive moisturizing care with the active microalgae protection of Spiralin against harmful germs and thus provide double support for the skin – free from synthetic preservatives, allergenic fragrances, parabens or occlusive oils.
2. it is also important to always use adequate sun protection, as UV radiation is known to promote skin ageing and possible changes to the skin, both in summer and in winter. Our skin reacts to any external changes, UV radiation or swimming in water remove moisture from the skin and we have to replenish it accordingly (see point 1). In addition, UV rays can penetrate the skin cells if we do not protect them sufficiently; the resulting process is also known as oxidative stress, which impairs or damages the cells. The consequences can include skin ageing, sunburn or an increased risk of cancer.
3. a healthy and balanced diet with plenty of vitamins and antioxidants, fiber and minerals, on the other hand, promotes the regeneration and nourishment of skin cells; conversely, alcohol, nicotine, sugar and many other ingredients lead to poorer skin development. According to Dr. Yeal Adler, the skin needs “building material and energy for monthly skin renewal and this is ideally provided by our diet. The amount and form of macronutrients we take in is crucial”. (Quote: GEO) Antioxidants in particular (vitamins A, C, E and the mineral zinc) support the skin in its defense against free radicals.
4. exercise is just as important and this is not necessarily exclusively in the form of sport, because even walking barefoot at home works some muscle groups and promotes blood circulation in the skin. In general, sport is of course considered to promote good blood circulation in the skin and a better sense of well-being in the body with appropriate exercise.
5 Finally, proper skin cleansing is an important factor, whether on the face or body, both are equally important. However, the skin should not be unnecessarily stressed, i.e. exfoliating too roughly or too frequently can injure or irritate the skin instead of helping it to regenerate. The ingredients are also crucial here, a light and gentle cleansing is much more skin-friendly, because it does not always have to hurt or cause redness to achieve a good cleansing or removal of dead skin cells. It also stimulates blood circulation and, when used correctly, provides a pleasant feeling of well-being. After cleansing, unwanted hairs can of course also be removed.
