How to Keep Your Skin Glowing and Healthy: The Essential Guide

It's well-known that keeping your skin clean externally, along with maintaining a balanced diet, can significantly enhance the health of your facial skin as well as its beauty and glow.

Key factors that influence your skin's appearance and health include:

1. Using natural products – Creams, facial cleansers, serums, and soaps are critical for your skin's health and beauty. It's best to use homemade products as they are free of harmful chemicals.

2. Ensuring adequate fluid intake – It’s recommended to focus on consuming water-rich vegetables and fruits rather than just drinking water, as water in food is well-filtered from toxins and is absorbed with beneficial vitamins and minerals, promoting water uptake by cells. If needed, add water, prioritizing live water and water purified by reverse osmosis filters.

3. Vitamin C – This powerful antioxidant helps reduce allergic reactions and strengthens the immune system and collagen in the skin while preventing infections. It's found in various fruits; however, due to environmental toxins, a supplement might be needed. Sources include kiwi, guava, red peppers, strawberries, citrus fruits, and more.

4. Vitamin E – This strong antioxidant helps minimize cellular damage. It aids in maintaining smooth and healthy skin by reducing free radicals. Common sources are cold-pressed olive oil, sunflower seeds, green leafy vegetables, broccoli, lettuce, spinach, wheat germ, avocados, and more.

5. Zinc – A mineral that assists in skin repair and renewal, with antiseptic and anti-infection properties, and strengthens the immune system. Found primarily in various seeds and nuts – like pumpkin seeds and almonds.

6. Beta-carotene – This vitamin is converted into Vitamin A in our liver. It's essential for skin cell repair and protection against damage. Sources include carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, orange and green vegetables and fruits, kale, ginger, and more.

7. Plant-based fats – These assist in vitamin and mineral absorption in the body and help maintain healthy skin cells. Healthy plant fats are found in nuts, seeds, almonds, sesame (tahini), avocados, and cold-pressed olive oil or other cold-pressed oils.
