We’ve said it before (and it’s backed up by research) that a healthy skincare routine is a foundation for glowing, healthy-looking skin. But taking care of your skin is a lot easier said than done. Between work, family and the rest of your responsibilities, time is at a premium. So figuring out the basics of good skin care can seem impossible. But it’s something that will be worth the effort. In this article, we share our top seven tips for glowing skin, gathered from women athletes in Montreal Women who know how to stay hydrated.
Drink fresh, preferably room-temperature water
Drinking fresh, preferably room-temperature water is the best way to stay hydrated. This is because cold water can leave your skin feeling parched and tighten it up. It’s also important to ensure you drink enough water every day—not just because it will help you feel better overall but also because of how dehydrated our bodies get when we don’t get enough liquid in them.
If you’re unsure if your current intake is sufficient for proper hydration, consider keeping track of how much fluid comes out of the faucet while washing dishes or brushing your teeth (or whatever task happens before getting into bed). You should be able to tell whether that person who drinks four glasses at night would benefit from an extra glass or two during their next bathroom break on the way home from work!
Eat a clean diet
A clean diet is the key to glowing skin. Not only are processed foods full of chemicals, preservatives, and artificial ingredients that can damage your body and make you look older, but they also contribute to inflammation in the body. To stay hydrated and avoid dryness, eat a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables, fruit, and whole grains, such as brown rice or quinoa. Avoid sugar or alcohol while being sure to get enough protein from non-dairy sources like beans or nuts (and if you’re vegan—you know what those mean).
Mist on the regs
Regarding hydration, there’s no better way to keep your skin glowing than by misting it every couple of hours and before bedtime. The purpose of misting is not only to hydrate but also to help reduce clogged pores and tightness in the skin. Misting may seem like an insignificant act, but it can dramatically impact how well you look—and feel—when you wake up in the morning!
The benefits of misting include:
● It’s easier than showering because you don’t have water running over your face (this helps prevent breakouts). Plus, since water evaporates quickly from dry skin, using a spray bottle or spritzing with rosewater will allow maximum absorption without wasting any precious moisture from being lost elsewhere (such as down the drain).
Take your vitamins
Vitamins are important for glowing skin. They keep your body healthy and glowing, so taking them daily is important. Here are some vitamins that will help you stay hydrated:
● Vitamin A – Helps with cell turnover, which is the process by which new cells replace old ones as they die off or get damaged. It also helps heal blemishes and evens out skin tone.
● Vitamin C – This antioxidant fights free radicals in our bodies that cause inflammation, age spots and even cancer (but not all at once). You can find it naturally in fruits like oranges or red peppers; if you don’t eat enough of those foods regularly, take an over-the-counter pill called Ascorbic Acid supplements instead!
● Vitamin E – The only fat-soluble antioxidant found in plants—and thus essential for humans—protects against sun damage while also fighting bacteria from invading the pores on our faces (a common source of acne). If you don’t eat many vegetables during mealtime, consider taking a supplement instead!
Focus on your gut
Gut health is an important part of your overall health. It’s where you absorb vitamins, minerals and nutrients from food, and it also has a role in digestion. A healthy gut can help you feel energized throughout the day and may also reduce irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease symptoms.
But if you have a leaky gut (commonly referred to as “leaky gut syndrome“), then all those good things aren’t happening anymore! This condition causes inflammation in your intestines, leading to symptoms like fatigue, bloating, constipation or diarrhea.
To help prevent this problem from occurring: eat fermented foods such as yogurt; drink kefir tea twice daily; take probiotics supplements with meals four times per day (and don’t forget about bananas!)
Exercise is good for your skin
The benefits of exercise are numerous, but the most important is that it can help you lose weight. Research shows that people who work out regularly tend to have healthier bodies and minds than those who don’t—and the same goes for their skin!
You should also be aware that exercise can help improve your sleep quality by increasing blood flow throughout the body, which means more oxygen flowing through your brain, as well as helping relax muscles, so they don’t tense up when you’re asleep (that’s why it’s so important). This improves overall mental health; studies have shown that people who exercise regularly tend to feel less stressed than those who don’t work out at all or only do so sporadically—a phenomenon known as “runner’s high.” Finally, exercising releases endorphins into circulation, which creates euphoria similar to other drugs like heroin or cocaine but without any side effects because they’re naturally occurring chemicals produced within our bodies over time–not something we need pills for!
See a Montreal dermatologist if you have concerns
If you have concerns about how your skin looks and feels, it’s important to see a dermatologist. You may have an underlying medical condition or condition that requires treatment, such as:
● acne
● rosacea (redness around the nose)
● eczema or psoriasis (inflammation of the skin)
If you think you have any of these conditions, talk with your doctor before trying any home remedies or treatments yourself. Your doctor can help determine what steps need to be taken next for you to feel better about yourself and look great!
Wrapping Up
Regardless of your skin condition or skincare products, drinking enough water is the number one thing that can help your skin stay healthy and glowy.
