Nutrition
As you come into the amazing woman that you are, make sure you include plenty of healthy foods in your diet. Not only will you fell more energetic and healthier but your choices will reflect in the appearance of your skin.
Antioxidants:
Foods rich in antioxidants such as dark berries, vegetables, nuts, beans, and seeds nourish your cells and protect them from free radical attacks which damage and destroy skin cells. Protecting your cells from free radicals will help prevent skin damage including fine lines and wrinkles.
Omega 3s:
Adding an Omega 3 supplement such as fish oil, krill oil, or flaxseed oil will help you maintain healthy cell membranes. Your body uses these essential fatty acids for a plethora of healthy benefits from a healthier heart to more beautiful skin but can’t produce them itself making it important to consume them in your diet.
Water:
Replenishing your body with water throughout the day helps keep your cells juicy and plump. If you don’t supply enough water to your body daily your cells can become dehydrated which shows in your skin making your complexion look dull and your wrinkles look more pronounced.
Exercise
Exercise is a vital for not only your health and weight, but is also crucial for the well being of your skin as well. Regular exercise increases circulation bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the surface of your skin promoting a beautiful and rosy glow.

Exfoliation:
Exfoliating your skin 2-3 times a week will help your skin look smoother, increase cellular turnover, and help your other skin care products work more effectively. Facial scrubs, peels, masks, and home microdermabrasion systems help your skin look and act healthier.
Anti-Aging Skin Care:
Products containing vitamin A derivatives (retinol), vitamin C, and peptides fight aging and help your skin look more beautiful. Vitamin A products should be worn at night due to the fact that UV light from the sun can interact with them producing free radicals which can actually damage your skin. Vitamin C works double duty as a powerful antioxidant and collagen stimulator. It’s a good idea to wear this ingredient during the day so that you can protect your skin from free radial assaults while stimulating collagen production at the same time. Peptides also stimulate collagen synthesis, can reduce the depth of wrinkles, and can be applied anytime.

Making a few simple tweaks to your diet, exercise regimen, and skin care routine can make a dramatic difference in the appearance of your complexion.
