Soft and happy skin is not out of your reach. You just need to be a little mindful, consistently

Achieving soft, beautiful and happy skin is a dream for most of us. While there are lot of suggestions, a long list of do’s and don’ts to follow, there are some basics that don’t change. We have to understand that obtaining happy skin is a holistic process that requires one to work on building healthy habits combined with good skincare.

Here’s a straightforward list by ITC Fiama of tried and tested skincare habits for the healthy skin we all desire, with the reminder that skincare doesn’t need to be complicated, it just needs to be consistent.

Cleanse and Moisturise

Healthy skin is an outcome of a balanced diet. The food we eat provides the building blocks for healthy functioning of our bodies. Our diet has everything to do with the health of our skin. The nutrients, minerals, and proteins found in food support collagen production and healthy cell membranes. Additionally, don’t forget to protect your skin from harmful stressors, such as UV exposure.

Smile

When we smile the blood flow gets better, and the skin receives more oxygen and nutrients. This can help you develop a healthier complexion. It also leaves you stress free making you look happy and radiant.

H20

With our bodies comprising of 70 per cent water, drinking sufficient amounts of water helps your skin  look healthy and hydrated. Drinking adequate water flushes out toxins from our bodies, preventing acne and boosting the skin’s elasticity. After all, water is called the elixir of life.

Move Your Body

Along with cleansing and proper nutrition, another aspect which is important for happy skin is movement. When we move or burn calories, the body produces chemicals called endorphins. These endorphins interact with the receptors in the brain to trigger positive feelings and happy thoughts. This feeling of pure happiness and joy reflects on the skin, thus having the power to completely change your mood and keep you and your skin beaming.
