Surprising ways to get healthy skin

“Drinking water is one of the best things you can do to keep your skin in shape, It keeps your skin moist – and that makes fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable.”

The group says that water helps cells absorb nutrients and shed toxins, too. The common advice is to drink eight glasses of water a day, but you can get by with less if your diet includes fruits, vegetables, juices and tea.

Eat more beets. Antioxidants are the compounds found in colorful fruits and vegetables that appear to play an important role in slowing and preventing the kind of “free-radical” damage that can cause cancer.

Skip the chips and eat berries, tomatoes, apricots, beets, squash, spinach, sweet potatoes and other colorful foods instead.

Skip the perfume, scented lotions

Fragrances in perfume and skin-care products can cause the collagen in the skin to break down, leading to allergic reactions, acne and skin rash.

FacingAcne.com reports that may commercial lotions and moisturisers may contain ingredients like formaldehyde or nickel sulfate, power powerful chemical preservatives. Some botanical ingredients may cause problems as well, especially Tolu balsam, which can trigger additional sensitivities to cinnamon oil, lemon oil, orange peel or oil of cloves.

Find the simplest, cleanest moisturiser that works for you, and stick with it. I personally use organic coconut oil for almost all my skin needs. It is light, effective and harmless.
