Age, stress, diet and environmental factors play a huge role in the health of your skin. Your face, hands and feet are the ones to get affected the most. In order to nourish your skin you need to work internally as well as externally. This will help to retain your youthful radiance and prevent damage to your skin.

Internal nourishment for your skin

In order to nourish your skin internally you need to drink plenty of water, fresh fruit and vegetable juices and avoid drinking caffeine based beverages. Alcohol harms the skin and you must avoid drinking it in huge amounts. If you keep your skin well hydrated your skin will retain its elasticity and this will prevent wrinkles and fine lines from forming on your skin. Water also eliminates the toxins from the body and allows the skin to breathe with ease.

To nourish your skin internally you also need to eat fruits and vegetables are reduce your consumption of red meats. White meats and lean meats promote the health of your skin and hence you must eat them in abundance. The oils from fish like mackerels and salmon are beneficial to your skin and hence you must eat these fish.

Green tea is a caffeine free herbal tea that is loaded with anti oxidants. Have a cup of the tea daily in order to eliminate toxins from the body. The tea helps to increase blood circulation and also increases the elasticity of the skin and hence it is beneficial to your health.

External nourishment for the skin

Just as the skin needs to be nourished internally it also needs external nourishment. Washing your skin with mild cleaners and warm water will keep the skin clean and oil free. You also need to exfoliate your skin once a week; if you have oily skin then you will need to exfoliate your skin more often.

Moisturize your skin after you wash it and use a good sunscreen lotion before you step out in the sun. Avoid getting a tan as it can do long term damage to your skin. Exposing your skin to the sun leads to age spots and blemishes that are difficult to get rid of.
