We all want flawless skin, but more importantly, we desire healthy and beautiful skin. Aging might be inevitable, but that doesn't mean we can't slow it down or hide some of its signs.

In fact, women around the world spend billions every year trying to restore their youth or conceal the marks of time with cosmetics.

We believe that beautiful skin starts from within — mind, body, and soul. While our products help maintain beautiful skin, we've gathered 10 simple lifestyle tips to ensure your skin stays radiant for years to come.

1. Sunscreen: The Ultimate Skin Protector

Have you ever wondered why dermatologists recommend sunscreen above all other products? The reason is simple: sunscreen provides protection that no other skincare product can match. Dermatologists suggest using at least SPF 15 sunscreen, but the Cancer Council of Australia recommends SPF 30 or higher. Sunscreens with SPF 30 can block 96.7% of UVB rays, while SPF 50 blocks up to 98%. If used correctly, sunscreen protects against harmful UV rays, which are responsible for skin damage like wrinkles, sagging, and rough texture. Always wear sunscreen, even on cloudy days or indoors — UV rays can pass through windows!

2. Hydration: Keep Your Skin Moist

Dehydration is one of the biggest threats to your skin. To prevent this, we need to hydrate both internally and externally. Drinking plenty of water helps flush toxins out of our system, keeping our skin glowing. For external hydration, using lukewarm water during showers is recommended to prevent drying out your skin. After showering, gently pat your skin dry to avoid excess moisture loss.

3. Moisturize: Nourish Your Skin

Dry, cracked skin is uncomfortable and often looks dull. To combat this, applying moisturizer regularly is essential. After showering, apply a dermatologist-tested moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated throughout the day. We recommend using organic skincare products that are free from harsh chemicals. Natural oils or non-greasy moisturizers are perfect for maintaining healthy skin.

4. Exfoliation: Remove Dead Skin Cells

Exfoliating is crucial for achieving glowing skin and reducing wrinkles. Exfoliation involves gently scrubbing your face with either natural ingredients or store-bought scrubs to remove dead skin cells. However, don't over-exfoliate, as this can remove your skin of natural oils essential for the skin's healing process. Some natural exfoliants like sugar, oats, coffee grounds, and sea salt are great organic options to consider.

5. Healthy Diet: Fuel Your Skin from Within

A balanced diet plays a significant role in skin health. While it's easy to indulge in unhealthy foods, eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins is essential for maintaining clear, healthy skin. Studies show that omega-3s, like those found in fish oils, can promote skin elasticity, while refined carbohydrates may help brighten your complexion. Eating a nutrient-rich diet helps reduce the appearance of acne and supports overall skin health.

6. Sleep & Stress Management: Rest and Relax

In today's stressful world, we all feel overwhelmed at times, and stress often shows up on our skin. Research indicates that chronic stress accelerates the aging process, causing wrinkles and sagging. Additionally, stress can trigger eczema and acne, which are tough to treat. Finding hobbies or activities that relieve stress, such as meditation, yoga, or light exercise, can significantly improve your skin. Proper sleep, often referred to as “beauty sleep,” is also vital. Lack of sleep leads to dark circles and skin sagging, making it harder to look fresh and youthful.

7. Supplements: Boost Your Skin from the Inside

While we can get many of our nutrients from food, some vitamins and minerals are best taken in supplement form. Supplements like collagen, probiotics, and vitamins A, C, and E support skin regeneration and fight signs of aging. Marine collagen supplements are particularly popular and can be found from sources like fish, jellyfish, and other marine organisms. These supplements help restore elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

8. Avoid Drinks and Smoking: Protect Your Skin

We know that smoking accelerates the appearance of wrinkles because it reduces oxygen and vital nutrients from reaching the skin. Smoking also impacts facial expressions, which leads to sagging over time. Similarly, excessive drinks consumption can cause skin conditions like psoriasis. Cutting back on drinks and quitting smoking can have a noticeable effect on the health of your skin.

9. Proper Cleansing: Keep Your Skin Clean

Cleansing is essential, but it's not just about using soap and water. It's crucial to wash your face both in the morning and at night to remove impurities. If you wear makeup, always cleanse your face immediately after getting home. Proper cleansing protects your skin, rejuvenates it, and prevents clogged pores. It's important to choose skincare products recommended by dermatologists, as they cater to your specific skin type.

10. Follow a Simple Skincare Routine

For many people, skincare can feel overwhelming. However, following a simple skincare routine is vital for maintaining healthy skin. The key is using the correct layers and products to suit your skin. Research has shown that adding retinol to your skincare routine can provide excellent anti-aging benefits.
