NUTRITION FOR THE SKIN

With everyone so health conscious these days, people have been obsessed with ensuring that they have the proper nutrition to maintain a healthy diet and fit physique. But have you thought about what type of nutrition you might need for your skin? In today’s world, you are constantly faced with physical and environmental factors that negatively affect your skin’s health and complexion. From UV rays to wind, from pollution to stress; your skin is frequently being stripped of essential nutrients. However, you can replenish your skin of these nutrients by including the following beneficial items in your daily routine.

Water

It is no secret that water consumption is a key ingredient in the recipe of living a healthy life. Water is a pure, natural way of flushing the body of toxins, maintaining a healthy weight, increasing the functionality of your organs and yes, moisturizing your skin. According to Dermascope magazine, researchers have found that the amount of water you drink in ounces should be equal to 50 to 75 percent of your body weight. Drinking the right amount of water daily improves the overall quality of your skin in texture and elasticity.

Vitamins/Supplements

Vitamins play a vital role in the upkeep of your skin. Vitamins C, E, A, K and B complex have been scientifically proven to maintain a healthy complexion and counter the effects of free radicals. It is important to include these vitamins in your diet through rich fruits and vegetables or with supplemental pills. While it’s absolutely necessary to ingest these vitamins for optimal health care, inside and out, you should also look for these ingredients within your skin care products. Both Prana SpaCeuticals™ and ClearChoice® products are fortified with the necessary vitamins, minerals and antioxidants needed to replenish your skin after being depleted of essential nutrients. Each product is then designed to specifically match your skin type in the best way possible.

Sunscreen/Sun block

No matter what the weather is like, sunscreen is a necessary component for your skin care needs. You skin is susceptible to the damage of UV rays every time they are able to reach the earth. Sunscreens should be used as a preventative measure for problems that are caused from sun exposure, like aging skin and pre-cancerous growths. Prana SpaCeuticals™ and ClearChoice® offer several products that fight off harmful UV rays from damaging your delicate skin.

Sport Shield is a combination block and light moisturizer for daily use on your face, chest, hands and arms. This is a great product for both UV protection and the replenishment of much needed vitamins and antioxidants.

Don’t forget your lips! Vitamin Enriched Lip Protectant should be used as preventative care. This protectant contains SPF 18 and vitamin enriched antioxidants to help filter UVA & UVB rays too
