Keep your skin young: 10 things to do every day

The elixir of life is a legend, but anti-aging is an eternal topic. Many women turn to various skin care products, cosmetics and beauty salons, simply hoping to keep their skin plump and youthful. However, you can actually start with the details. As long as you make a maintenance list for yourself and stick to it every day, you can retain youthful and beautiful skin.

1. Make sure to eat one pound of vegetables and half a pound of fruit every day, and at least one-third of the staple food should be coarse grains, beans or potatoes.

These foods can provide sufficient dietary fiber to eliminate pollution and clear the intestines. They also provide enough vitamins and antioxidants to prevent skin spots and dullness.

In addition, eating less greasy, spicy, salty and sweet foods is also necessary to prevent skin aging.

2. Make sure to do half an hour of exercise every day to warm up your body.

Regular exercise can improve blood circulation and strengthen cardiopulmonary function, which means delivering more nutrients and oxygen to the skin. It can also firm muscles and reduce the proportion of visceral fat.

Moreover, these exercises can prevent premature sagging of the face and double chin.

3. Make sure to fall asleep before 11 o'clock every day, sleep soundly, and sleep for at least 7 hours.

There is really nothing important enough to keep you awake at 12 o'clock! So, as long as you feel physically tired, you should rest in time. If you have to stay up late one day, you must rest in advance for the next three days, or make up for it in time by taking a nap to avoid skin aging.

4. Ensure stable weight.

Frequently starving yourself to lose weight and then gaining weight back is the most harmful to your skin. The skin is not an elastic band. If it swells up for two months and then deflates again after two months, it will definitely lead to skin aging.

5. Keep doing aerobic exercise

Long-term aerobic exercise can increase the amount of hemoglobin in the body, improve the body's resistance and resist aging.

Common aerobic exercises include: walking, brisk walking, jogging, skating, swimming, cycling, Tai Chi, fitness dancing, skipping rope/doing rhythmic gymnastics, etc.

6. Drink at least a glass of boiled water in the morning and evening.

A cup in the morning can cleanse the intestines. Replenish the water lost during the night. A glass of water at night can ensure that the blood does not become too viscous due to lack of water overnight. Blood viscosity will accelerate brain hypoxia and pigment deposition, causing premature aging. Therefore, the role of drinking water every night cannot be underestimated.

7. Eat more citrus fruits

Eating lemons can detoxify? Isn’t it incredible? Scientists have proven that lemon can promote the excretion of toxins from the liver and kidneys. Only when the toxins in the body's organs are eliminated can the skin become clear and shiny.

In addition, eating more fruits rich in vitamin C (such as oranges) can also help prevent the formation of wrinkles.

8. Choose suitable skin care products.

Skin care products are only a form of external protection and cannot improve the internal functions of the skin. You don’t have to believe in any exaggerated propaganda.

You should choose appropriate skin care products according to your skin type and age needs. For example, dry skin should choose moisturizing products, and oily skin should focus on oil control. Basic moisturizing is enough for around 20 years old, and anti-wrinkle products can be appropriately selected after 35 years old. People of all ages should pay attention to sun protection, but don't choose sunscreen that is too greasy.

9. Hydration and moisturizing are the basis

The component in the skin that locks in moisture is called moisturizing factor (biologically called hyaluronic acid HA). The hyaluronic acid in the human body is synthesized by the body itself through the intake of foods rich in mucopolysaccharides. The amount of hyaluronic acid decreases with age. When exposed to computer ultraviolet light and heat, hyaluronic acid will slowly decompose and be consumed.

Therefore, the older you get, the more aging phenomena you will experience, such as dry skin, increased wrinkles, and sagging skin. If you want to avoid aging, you must do a good job of moisturizing in your daily life. In addition to using more moisturizing water and drinking more water, you can also eat more fruits that are rich in water and various nutrients.

10. Isolation and sun protection are key

UVA rays in sunlight are one of the two main causes of skin aging. Applying sunscreen (SPF 15 or above) every day can reduce the degree of photoaging of the skin.
