Your skin is your largest organ and is an important protective barrier. It is bombarded daily by external and internal factors. Because of this, you should take great care of it! To do so, make sure you follow these three rules:

Hydration

Skin is an organ, making it susceptible to toxins and the effects of dehydration. Drinking plenty of water and other hydrating fluids every day is one of the most important steps you can take. This will help you achieve great skin and prevent wrinkles and dullness. Your skin craves hydration inside and out, so using a quality moisturizer is also essential.

Nutrition

Eat nutrient rich foods and avoiding the excessive intake of sugar, salt, caffeine and starches. Pumpkin, mangoes and carrots contain vitamin A or beta carotene and aid in the repair and protection of your skin. Oranges and other vitamin C rich fruits and vegetables excel in the development of collagen, which keeps skin firm and elastic. Flax seed is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids which encourages hydration as well as renewal at the cellular level of your skin. Tomatoes are also great as they contain lycopene, an antioxidant that helps protect the skin from UV rays. Consider adding these and other nutritious, natural foods to your diet. Skin can also achieve vibrancy and nutrition from facial products and treatments containing antioxidants, peptides and vitamins C, E and A.

Protection

One of the major factors that can influence the look of your skin is the sun, which causes dryness and damages skin tissue. Always use a good sunscreen made for your facial skin type if you plan on spending any amount of time out of doors. Products containing zinc oxide give a natural defense against the sun, and zinc oxide is one of the safest ingredients you can use on your skin. Also avoid smoking and excessive exposure to pollutants; both of which increase wrinkles, uneven skin tone and loss of elasticity.
