Your Secrets to a Perfect Beautiful Skin

Natural beauty starts with beautiful skin. You can learn how to maintain your skin in a healthy way and give it that luminescent glow that makes natural beauties so attractive. Diets and exercise are as important as using gentle and effective cleanser and moisturizer. There are just few steps which you can follow to achieve a wonderful beautiful result.

Wash your face at night.

Over the course of the day, makeup, dirt, and oil build up on your face. Make cleansing your skin part of your bedtime routine. Always use makeup remover. Not only does this prevent dirt from clogging up your pores and causing breakouts while you sleep, it also stops you from smearing bacteria on your pillow, where it can get into your skin night after night. Use a gentle soap. Remember that you want to clean your skin, not completely strip it of all oils.  If it feels tight and dry after washing, you're using something too strong. Avoid the eye area; the skin around the eye can be too delicate for most cleansers. Rinse off by splashing water on your face. Using a washcloth or rag to roughly wipe your skin clean can irritate it more. Instead, bend your face over the sink, cup your hands together, and bring up small amounts of water to splash over your face. About 10 splashes should do it. Pat dry. Don't roughly rub your skin dry with a towel. Instead, dry it with small, gentle pats, or let it air dry.

Apply toner.

A toner removes excess oil and dirt from your skin that the soap missed, in addition to closing your pores. Not everyone needs to use a toner, but some people find it helpful. Put a few drops onto a cotton ball or pad. Swipe it lightly over your skin. Only use astringent if your skin is exceptionally oily. Astringent is a stronger type of toner that can be up to 60% alcohol. If your skin tends to be dry, using astringent could actually cause acne by driving your oil glands to overcompensate. Witch hazel is a natural alternative to synthetic toner/astringent. Consider applying toner to only the areas of your skin that tend to break out. For instance, you might only use it on your nose or forehead.

Smooth on some moisturizer.

Using lotion in the morning acts as a primer for your makeup, helping it "stick" to your face throughout the day. Moisturizing at night helps your skin repair itself and stave off wrinkles. Bottom line, it's one of the best things you can do for glowing skin over the long term. Consider using a lighter moisturizer during the day. If you're prone to breakouts, save the heavy cream moisturizer for night time and use a light or gel moisturizer during the day. Don't forget your neck and décolletage. These areas can get super dry and irritated if you never moisturize them.

Protect your skin from the sun.

Avoid leathery, tough skin by applying a light sunscreen every time you plan to be outside. The lack of sun damage will keep your skin dewy and supple for years to come. Remember, it only takes 15 minutes to get sunburn, so be prepared. Stick to SPF 30 — anything higher doesn't have much more benefit. Search the makeup aisle for spray-on sunscreens that are light and dry. Use a foundation or tinted moisturizer with sunscreen, so your face is already covered.

 Prevent acne before it starts.

Here are some small daily-life hacks you can use to prevent pimples before they happen: Change out your pillowcase every four or five days. A fresh, bacteria-free pillowcase can stop your skin from erupting overnight. Keep your hands off your face. If you tend to rest your chin in your palm, or you're constantly fussing with your face, stop. The oils on your hands can cause breakouts, even in small amounts. Tie your hair back while you sleep. If you have long hair, keep it off your face while you rest. Braid it back, and use pins or a headband to keep bangs off your forehead. Get your beauty rest. Stress can lead to breakouts, so make sure you're well-rested and calm.

Change your birth control (females). Some oral contraceptives containing oestrogen can calm down regular breakouts. Ask your doctor if this is the right choice for you. Do not pick or pop pimples. Doing so can make the infection worse and lead to permanent scarring.

 Exercise always.

Aim to get 6 to 8 glasses of water a day. The water will clear your skin and make it glow because it makes it easier for your body to flush out toxins quickly. Carry a water bottle with you all day to make sure you always have water on hand. Drink herbal tea or other non-caffeinated beverages to hydrate when you're tired of water.  Exercise is very important part of great natural beauty care for the skin. A brisk walk in nature provides you with fresh air and oxygen.

Eat a healthy diet.

Healthy proteins and nutritious fruits and vegetables go a long way toward making skin glow. Naturally eating a healthy diet that provides all the important nutrients are important for healthy skin. Staying from toxins is also important. The best way to avoid toxicity in your body is to live a healthy lifestyle that includes a whole grain diet, walnuts, almonds and avocado. You will want to eat healthy and stay away from any refined carbohydrate foods such as white bread, cookies, etc. Drink a lot of tea and water to make sure you are keeping yourself hydrated. Nutrition is a major part of how your skin looks. View your body as a machine: the food you eat is your fuel. Fibre-rich foods, fresh vegetables, nuts, and unprocessed fruits help keep a fine balance and to be regular, not sluggish, in the gastrointestinal area. You may look and feel tired and sickly (headache and abdominal complaints), if you do not have regularity of elimination/movements once or more every day.

Take vitamins.

If you're worried you aren't getting enough of necessary vitamins and minerals, try taking a multivitamin.  Take multivitamin supplements, or supplement specially for good skin, hair and nails. Or even better, eat a very healthy diet that includes omega3 and omega6 found in almonds, walnuts, grape seed and also, you should have plenty of vitamins C. Vitamin C will help existing pimples heal faster, so eating a few servings of citrus fruits and spinach will help.

 Work out.

Cardio makes your skin glow because it stimulates blood flow. It's also healthy for your body and will make you stronger. You'll see results immediately and long term, too.
