The skin is the first organ that we can see and identify in our body with the naked eye. An organ that 100% reflects the health of our body. If we have the smooth, firm, healthy, shiny and clean skin so we will be inside. When we show dry, rough skin, full of impurities and acne, it will be a sign of dehydration and that we suffer from certain hormonal imbalances or high degrees of toxicity.

And without knowing all this, especially us women, we do everything we can to show off radiant skin, sometimes using methods that are not very natural nor the most convenient for our pocket.

How to have healthy skin without using beauty products

have a beautiful skin is available to everyone, and in the next few lines I will tell you how…

1. Debug

Your skin is a reflection of your health. It is the largest organ in the body and also participates in the elimination of toxins through its pores. Toxins damage and degenerate cells inside and this is noticeable on the outside.

When we consume foods with more toxic ingredients, it quickly reflects on our skin, especially on the face. Eat Clean will give us health and beauty since it will create a purifying effect in our body naturally.

Some recommendations are:

• Have a glass of warm water with a few drops of lemon juice on an empty stomach.
• Have a juice or green smoothie daily.
• Eliminate processed foods, refined sugars, those containing gluten, dairy products and their derivatives.
• Increase the consumption of raw foods.
• Whenever possible, buy organic products.
• Move your body, play sports or do physical activity daily.
• Stay hydrated all day. Always carry a small bottle of water with you.

2. Nourish

We are what we eat, and this is also reflected in our skin. Eating foods that are not so clean and loaded with toxins can leave us with lifeless, dull and dry skin. Furthermore, a lack of nutrition accelerates the appearance of wrinkles and acne pimples.

Nourishing the skin starts from within, and we will do it with a good choice of the foods we consume.

• Follow a diet rich in plant-based products: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts and algae.
• Eat a wide variety of colors. The pigments in vegetables and fruits are powerful antioxidants that combat the action of free radicals, responsible for the aging of our cells.
• Reduce or eliminate the consumption of animal protein. And if you consume it, make sure it is quality, organic.
• Enrich your diet with rich foods in essential fatty acids (omega 3 and 6), such as algae, seeds (chia, flax, hemp), green leafy vegetables and nuts (walnuts).

3. Clean

Keeping your skin clean is very important. Many people use harsh skin products that can cause a lack of hydration of the facial skin and leave it completely dull. We must use a neutral cleanser and use it every night before going to bed.

I recommend use natural soaps based on lavender extracts, or with tea tree if we are prone to acne or oilier skin.

4. Exfoliate

It helps us eliminate dead cells from the surface of our skin that may be dulling our color. For this we do not need to buy excessively clear products, in fact, I am sure that you have the necessary ingredients at home.

Mix 6 tablespoons of coconut oil with 1 tablespoon of sea salt. Stir well until the oil dissolves and the mixture is homogeneous and you will have your scrub.

5. Moisturizes

We are between 60-70% water, so our good skin condition will depend on whether we are well hydrated or not.

• Drink quality water throughout the day.
• Drink your generous green juice/smoothie every day (300-500ml).
• Consume at least 70% of your vegetables raw, as in salads (they will provide us with greater water content, minerals and active enzymes).
• Reduce or eliminate caffeine and alcohol consumption, as they have a dehydrating effect.

6. Protect yourself

It is very important expose ourselves to the sun for about 10-15 minutes daily for the natural production of vitamin D, without the use of blockers so that this vitamin can be synthesized correctly.

However, overexposure to the sun, especially at critical midday hours, can be counterproductive and damage our skin, increasing the risk of spots, burns and skin cancer.

7. Improves circulation

Stimulating circulation and lymphatic drainage will help you have radiant skin. He dry skin brushing It is the simplest and most practical technique for this.

• Look for a brush with soft, natural bristles.
• Brush before showering.
• Do not apply too much pressure when brushing and always start with your feet, always making circular movements towards your heart.

8. Reduce makeup

Clean and healthy skin does not need to cover impurities, even so, sometimes we like to use some paints to highlight our features. In this case, we will use products from cosmetics that are as natural as possible, free of parabens and sulfites, and vegan. Many makeup brands contain toxins that clog the pores of the skin, suffocating it and causing blackheads and acne pimples to appear.

Bright, fresh and clean skin is just around the corner, just follow a few simple healthy guidelines. And you, which of these recommendations have you tried or which ones work for you?
