New Delhi: Millions of women run after an uncountable number of beauty products and spend lots of money to get that gorgeous and youthful look, despite the bitter fact that ageing is inevitable. Desiring and trying this, of course, is crucial. But what they tend to forget is that focusing merely on the external factors never works completely to achieve that desired look. It goes beyond these external beauty rituals. And one can still influence how they look if they follow certain daily habits.
The journey of looking youthful commences with how one lives their lives, rests well, and what they nourish themselves from within. It’s a reflection of inner energy and vitality, not outer instant fixes. Keeping deep sleep, feeding the body with correct foods, and permitting one’s skin to breathe under natural sunlight can do wonders for that shine than any expensive products ever will.
1. Keep quality sleep on top priority
In the era of extra screen time, gadget scrolling, and a busy life schedule, getting good-quality sleep is hard. But once you know how it impact your look, you will surely try to avoid sleep deprivation. Deep sleep isn’t only good for enhancing mood, balancing hormone but also for rejuvenating the skin. Regular, good sleep helps in production of high collagen and reduces cortisol, the stress hormone connected to premature ageing.
2. Take supplements
Some people take a silica supplement to boost collagen production for healthy skin, hair, and nails. It supports skin hydration and healing, improves skin elasticity, joint, and gut health. But take medical advice before beginning any new supplement to ensure your safety and that it won’t interact with any of your current medications, if there are any. While taking marine collagen is popular, it is advisable to opt out of it.
3. Incorporate silica and collagen-rich foods
Supplements are not bad, but if nature has already offered food rich with silica and collagen, why not go natural way! Some of the silica-rich foods are cucumber with peel, bananas, brown rice, oats, leafy greens, lentils, bell peppers, and whole grains.
4. Eat more natural fats, avoid sugar
Fueling our body with healthy fats to retain the youthful glow and fight the signs of ageing is important. At the same time, cutting sugar and refined carbs controls inflammation and the formation of wrinkles. This means you have to cut out the processed and packaged foods completely.
5. Bask in morning sunlight
One of the cost-free, easiest and most powerful methods to look younger is to step out for ten minutes and soak up sunlight. It sets the circadian rhythm, enhancing energy and helping in getting better sleep.
6. Skip overworking, listen to your body
While it’s important to switch to the healthy habits but starting something new may not go well with the body. So, it’s crucial to start small, and remain consistent.
There’s no short cut and alternatives for taking good care of your skin, and it will eventually show how you treat it. So, protect your skin for an amazing future.
