6. Get Enough Sleep
It is called “beauty sleep” for a good reason because a full night’s sleep can work won-
ders for your skin and general appearance. Your body heals itself during sleep and
could help to reduce wrinkles, provide a healthy glow and reduce puffy eyes.
If you regularly struggle to get the recommended 7-9 hours each night, there are many
options to consider, including rearranging your bedroom, reducing caffeine intake,
avoiding screen use an hour before bed, ear plugs, meditation and taking supple-
ments.
7. Healthy Diet
Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet
can also improve your skin by giv-
ing you a healthy complexion and
reducing the chance of breakouts
occurring. A diet with a lot of pro-
cessed food and sugars can cause
havoc on the skin so try to cut these
down or eliminate entirely and make
sure that you are getting enough
fruit and veg each day.
8. Exercise Regularly
Regular exercise, of course, has numerous health benefits and should be an important
part of everyone’s schedule. Exercise, however, can also work wonders for your skin
by increasing blood flow which carries oxygen and nutrients to the cells while carrying
away waste products. It will nourish the cells and allow for a healthier complexion.
9. Use High-Quality Razors
It may be tempting to purchase cheap razors for shaving, but these can often result
in irritation and scratches, especially if you have sensitive skin. Avoid this by buying
high-quality razors which you clean after each use and replace frequently. Doing so
should allow for a much smoother shave each time.
