The Facial Rejuvenation Diet: Which Foods Bring About a Healthy Glow
Intuitively, humans can tell when someone is healthy or not: glowing, supple skin is a sign of health, while dull or inflamed skin is a sign of something not being right. When someone is eating and taking care of themselves they are the picture of health.
On the other hand, when they aren’t doing much to take care of their body, mind, and spirit the results will be evident—both with diseases and skin conditions. What can a person do to improve the health of their skin?
The 4 Components of the Facial Rejuvenation Diet
The Facial Rejuvenation Diet consists of four main components: nutrition, hydration, emotional health, and exercise.
1. Nutrients
A nutrient-dense diet is imperative to healthy, glowing, flawless skin. Foods to eat regularly include:
• Dark leafy greens: spinach, kale, and collard greens
• Cruciferous vegetables
• Vitamin C rich foods, like citrus fruits
• Omega-3 fatty acids: fish, nuts, and seeds
• Tomatoes
• Berries
• Water-dense fruit like watermelon
• Nut oils
• Olives and avocados.
2. Hydration
Drinking enough water is vital for plump, luminous skin. The minimum amount of water to consume is eight glasses per day. This amount should increase during times of hotter weather and exercise. It is also helpful to reduce dehydrating liquids like coffee and soda.
3. Emotional Health
Anxiety and stress have been related to heart disease, high blood pressure, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and memory loss. Stress can also manifest itself in the form of rashes and breakouts. Daily stress-relieving techniques—like meditation, visualization, or simply going for a walk—will help a person reduce stress and improve the health of their skin.
4. Exercise
Exercise is one of the best ways to improve the health of the skin and the body as a whole. Not only is a workout great for losing weight and toning muscles, it is vital for keeping blood and lymph from becoming stagnant. A person’s diet, the pollutants in the air and water all contribute to waste buildup in the blood and lymph. Exercise helps the body rid itself of the waste, while a sedentary lifestyle allows the waste to build up and cause disease, breakouts, and rashes.
A Professional Facial Rejuvenation Treatment: Working On the Skin from the Outside
The Facial Rejuvenation Diet will help a person feed their skin from the inside out, but that doesn’t mean the outside should be neglected. A professional facial rejuvenation treatment at a spa or dermatologist’s office will help remove impurities on the surface and in the pores. Plus, it can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and improve the overall smoothness and tone of the skin.
The Picture of Health: Beautiful, Glowing Skin at Any Age
Together, the rejuvenation diet and a facial rejuvenation treatment will help a person achieve health, supple, luminous skin no matter what their age. Taking care of the skin from the inside as well as the outside will also contribute to improved overall health—a great side effect of improved self-care!
