September is Healthy Aging Month and it is such an important opportunity to discuss how, along with a good skincare routine, you can take a look at your habits as a way to develop ageless skin. You can make a few small changes to your habits that aren't necessarily skincare, but that can have a tremendous impact on your healthy skin and keep it looking youthful and glowing.
The way you develop your habits as you begin to age will directly impact your ability to have the healthy skin you are hoping to achieve. If you take the time to look at your habits and tweak them as you think they need to be tweaked you will be able to make the important and significant changes that are needed to make sure you are where you want to be when these changes are implemented in your lifestyle.
First, you will want to focus on your nutrition. The food that you eat directly impacts your ability to have youthful and glowing looking skin. If you are able to implement foods that are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals you will be able to nourish your skin cells which can help lead to a glow in your skin. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins are essential to being able to develop this healthy habit and put your skin on the right track.
Second, hydration will be critical to the continued development of healthy skin over time. Drinking plenty of water is a critical component to your overall health, but it is also essential to maintaining skin elasticity and plumpness as well as reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
With both nutrition and hydration you should seek the guidance of your medical provider to make sure you are following a trusted professional with your own individual health.
Another healthy habit you will want to prioritize is your sleep. Sleep is one of the most important things you can do to prioritize skin repair and regeneration over the course of time. While you sleep, your body produces growth hormones that help rebuild and rejuvenate skin cells.
Finally, stress reduction is going to be an essential habit that you should focus on as well to march towards youthful and glowing healthy skin. Stress is one thing that can drastically impact your skin negatively. Reducing your stress levels through meditation, deep breathing and yoga will go a long way in limiting the impact of stress.
Healthy Aging Month is a good opportunity to take a look at your daily habits that are directly or indirectly impacting your skin. There is most certainly a need for a well thought out skincare routine, but developing healthy habits alongside the skincare routine will put you in a great position to have ageless skin for years to come.
