It’s not a huge surprise that many people have a stockpile of countless different skincare products – whether you have dry skin, acne, rosacea or another skin issue, chances are good that you can find a 3-step skincare program that promises to solve your issue and deliver beautiful, healthy skin.
The truth is – using a bunch of different products may actually do more harm than good. Here’s all you really need to have healthy skin.
Cleansing
Yes, your skin needs to be kept clean! Our skin gathers dirt and environmental toxins throughout the day – removing those impurities is important! That said, it’s also important not to overdo it. Too much hot water can damage and dry out the skin. Using too much soap can also strip away the natural protective oils our skin needs. In fact, unless you work outdoors or otherwise get really dirty every day, you probably don’t need to shower every day. Cleansing your hands, face, and feet might be enough for your every-day routine – especially in the winter.
Exfoliating is important, too – no matter what your skin type is!
Hydration
Are you drinking enough water? If not, your face will show it!
“Your skin is the fingerprint of what is going on inside your body, and all skin conditions, from psoriasis to acne to aging, are the manifestations of your body’s internal needs, including its nutritional needs,” says Georgiana Donadio, PhD, DC, MSc, founder and director of the National Institute of Whole Health in Boston
Dehydration will show up on your skin immediately in the form of under-eye bags, sagging skin, lackluster complexion, and dryness. Drink up!
Healthy Fats
Likewise, there are certain fats we all need to keep our bodies – especially skin! – healthy. Avocados, nuts, and seeds are all great sources both inside and out. Fatty fish like salmon is another great diet choice!
Environmental Protection
Our skin’s purpose is to protect the inside of the body from infections. Using protective skincare is one way to help out this process. That’s why skin solution is designed to nourish each layer of the skin so that it can do what it’s meant to: heal itself + protect your body!
Also, wear clothing that protects your skin, especially in harsh conditions like sun, severe cold, and wind.
Antioxidants
Blackberries are an excellent source of the antioxidants your skin needs!
With the ever-increasing toxic load in our environment, antioxidants are more important than ever. Antioxidants fight free radicals, the toxic compounds that cause aging, disease, and cancer.
Berries, black beans, and most plant foods are good sources of antioxidants. skin solution also contains a wealth of antioxidants to help fight free radicals from the outside-in!
