How to achieve truly healthy skin?

How long do you spend on skin care each day?

Some take 40 minutes or more, others 20 minutes or less. So how much time does your skin really need?

Skin care doesn’t need to be complicated to optimise your time and save you money while keeping your skin healthy.

When people hear “skincare” the first thing that comes to mind is often beauty products, but lifestyle plays an important role. The overall health of our bodies is very important to the appearance of our skin.

1. Maintain a nutritious diet rich in protein, healthy fats and vitamins.
2. Consume processed foods and sugar in moderation.
3. Keep your skin hydrated.
4. Get enough quality sleep.
5. Protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

Of course there is a genetic argument that if your mother and grandmother looked young in their 40s and 50s, chances are you’ll look young, too.

Nonetheless, no matter what your genes dictate, you can do your best to take care of your skin.
