Did you know that our skin is the largest organ of our bodies? Knowing this, set aside some time to pamper your skin. Here are some of my best tips for clearer, healthier skin. Let your self-confidence and self-love shine this summer along with that healthy glow.
1—You Are What You Eat
The phrase “you are what you eat” means more than you may know. Fresh, whole foods will cure your skin from the inside out! Fuel your body with fruits and vegetables to improve the health of your body and skin. Sometimes when people give up fast-food, dairy, gluten, or other foods, their skin clears right up. Everyone’s skin and body reacts differently so try to get to know what things typically break you out and what things don’t.
2—Show Off Your Freckles
Let your true beauty shine and try wearing less makeup! The summer is perfect for simple, natural makeup looks and you can always throw on a cute pair of sunglasses to amp up your look. Many foundations can irritate the skin, clog pores, and cause breakouts. For clearer, healthier skin try using a lighter product like a BB cream or tinted moisturizer!
3—Block Out The Rays
It’s so crucial to protect your skin from harsh UV rays and sunburn. Applying sunscreen before going outdoors is a great habit to have. Regularly using sunscreen will help you look younger and avoid sunspots and wrinkles. Keep in mind to always purchase reef-safe sunscreen.
4—Oils Are Okay
Don’t be afraid to use natural oils on your face! Natural oils such as castor oil, rose hip seed oil, jojoba oil, and many others are great for moisturizing the skin and unclogging pores. These products work well even with combination or oily skin. I swear by coconut oil—it works for almost everything. To avoid irritation, test new products on a patch of skin and buy organic, cold-pressed, unrefined oils.
5—Stay Hydrated
When I drink more water, my face looks clearer and brighter. Swapping out sodas and caffeinated drinks for water does wonders for your skin. I try to start every morning with a glass of water with freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Try out these tips and smile on this summer with clearer, healthier skin!
