With shorter days, less sun, and less reasons to get outside, staying healthy in the winter months can be a challenge. I have hand picked my favorite winter wellness...
Did you know that skin is the body's largest organ? That makes keeping your skin healthy very essential to a lasting and healthy life. When your skin is healthy, it protects you from elements both internal and external. When your skin's barrier is compromised, it leaves your body susceptible to dangers like skin lesions, sores, melanoma, and so much more.
How can you protect your skin?
Lifestyle changes are the most effective way to improve your skin health, as well as improve your quality of life.
- Quality Nutrition - Increasing your intake of natural whole foods, while decreasing your intake of inflammatory foods is important for maintaining your skins cellular health.
- Check out my YouTube series on nutrition for a good quality of life.
- Keep your skin moisturized - Daily moisturizing helps keep younger skin cells come to the surface. The massage-like act of rubbing in moisturizer also helps to improve blood flow and circulation. Just ensure you are using quality moisturizer that is vitamin rich.
- Protect your skin from sun exposure - Extended sun exposure can lead to wrinkles, sun spots, and even skin cancer. Be sure to use sunscreen, protective clothing, and seek shade when spending extended periods of time outdoors.
- Avoid chronic stress - While a little bit of stress is normal and healthy, too much stress has been shown to have devastating effects on your body - both mentally and physically
- Check out my blog on stress to learn how to better manage chronic stress
- Get Quality Sleep - Research shows that just one bad night of sleep can cause wrinkles, fine lines, droopy eyelids, and swollen eyes. Sleep is when the body heals and repairs itself on a cellular level.
In addition to the lifestyle changes above, I have also hand picked supplements to help give your body the boost it needs to improve your skin health and keep you safe.
