To be Young and Healthy

To have a younger looking skin is what every person would want to, especially women. Our skin reflects what we eat and what we do; if we eat unhealthy food, sleep less, and never exercise, then of course we'll get premature wrinkles and dry skin. We don't want that to happen, right?
Most women would tend to use a lot of beauty products just to maintain and or improve one's skin. But of course, applying those beauty products is not that easy because they are time consuming to use with and most of all, EXPENSIVE!
Most importantly, we have to know the natural ways on how to maintain a younger looking skin because without knowing these things, beauty products would just be a waste of money and would not give any good effect on our skin.
We have to bear in mind that water is very important. It hydrates our skin and keeps our skin cells healthy and of course, cleanses our body. Thus, eliminates wastes and toxins that can harm our overall health. Drinking about 8-10 glasses of water a day can do good on our skin.
Eating the right kind of foods is also an influential factor in keeping a healthy skin. Fruits and vegetables contain vitamins and essential nutrients that would nourish our skin well. Taking vitamins or food supplements is also beneficial because we can never have all the vitamins that our body needs in our meals.
Staying out of the sun can really help! Sun's radiation from 10am to 4pm can dehydrate the skin and can cause the appearance of premature wrinkles. Using lotions with high SPF and or wearing jackets/umbrellas are great ways to protect the skin.
The last thing that one should not forget is to maintain a good hygiene. Keeping one's skin clean can really make a difference! It will free the skin from bacteria and other microorganisms that can cause skin diseases.
Our skin is the protective layer of our body so we have to keep them healthy, not because we want them to look young but because we want our skin healthy and intact. In that way, we can be able to protect our body from all disease-causing germs and viruses!
