We all want healthy, perfect skin. However, we all have skin issues from time to time. And most of the time, rather than addressing the issue, we try to conceal it. We squander a lot of money on ineffective beauty products.

Nature has the ability to nourish our skin. We almost forgot about them in our search for suitable products on the market. Let us find out some of the best ways that we can keep our skin healthy.

How to Improve Your Lifestyle for Healthier Skin

#1. Ensure you get 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night

When you are involved in sleep deprivation, it can cause your skin to appear dull and sallow. It can also cause bags or shadows under the eyes.

Getting adequate sleep will help to decrease wrinkles and puffiness beneath the eyes. It will also give you a beautiful, healthy complexion.

#2. Reduce your stress levels. 

Stress always has a negative impact not just on your mind and sleep, but also on your skin.

It can cause acne, outbreaks, and other skin issues. Set reasonable goals and limitations for yourself, and schedule time each week to do things you enjoy.

Try some of the relaxation techniques listed below:

• Take a stroll around the neighborhood. You'll be able to let off some steam as a result of this. The fresh air will cool your body as well as help you to relax.
• Carry out some breathing exercises. This will compel your mind to focus on the activity and may help you forget about whatever is bothering you.
• Meditate. This is an ancient method that has been practiced for ages for a reason! Many people find it useful for clearing their brains and relaxing.

#3. Get few hours of exercise every week.

Exercise helps stimulates blood flow to all parts of the skin, this provides it with enough oxygen as well as nutrients. Sweating will help flush out toxins in your skin if you exercise vigorously enough. Exercise may also aid with stress reduction.

#4. Reduce the time spent under the sun, and try and wear sunscreen.

Just choose a sunscreen with at least 15 SPF.  You should make sure you avoid the sun when it falls between  10 a.m. and 2 p.m. because within this period its rays are the most hazardous.

In case you don't like wearing sunscreen, then you can try a moisturizer or foundation that already contains sunscreen. This will also help out.

#5. Quit smoking.

Smoking reduces your skin's oxygen and nutritional levels. It also degrades collagen and elastin, resulting in wrinkles.

Trying the Do it Yourself Skin Care Remedies

Oatmeal is excellent for calming inflamed skin and absorbing excess oil. Make a paste with 5 tablespoons (25 grams) finely ground oatmeal and enough water or milk. Then follow these steps.

• Add the mixture to your face and then leave it on for about 20 minutes.
• Remove the mask with lukewarm water and gently dry with a soft, clean towel.
• Massage the mask on your skin in circular motions for a scrub-like feeling.

#2. You can Try a yogurt mask if you have dull or dry skin. 

Yogurt is very moisturizing. It is also moderately exfoliating due to the lactic acid in it, which can help brighten dull or sallow skin.

1 to 2 tsp honey and 2 tbsp (30 g) full-fat Greek yogurt Allow the mask to sit on your face for 20 minutes.

Wash it away with lukewarm water, then gently wipe your face dry with a soft, clean towel. Try a squeeze of lemon to lighten your tone or reduce acne.

#3. You can apply some honey to your face.

What you simply need is to apply honey to your face and wait for 15 minutes. Make sure you wash the honey away with lukewarm water, then gently pat your skin dry with the use of a soft and clean towel.

#4. Mix a simple sugar scrub.

Start the mixing with the same quantity of sugar and oil. In the mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients and massage them over your lips, face, arms, and legs.

Brown sugar is used for a milder scrub, whereas white sugar is used for a regular scrub. You can use any sort of oil you like, but coconut or olive oil are the finest options.

Do you require anything softer? Instead, use 12 parts sugar and 1 part oil. Use essential oil or vanilla extract to add scent. To add moisture, mix with some honey.

#5. You can take a milk bath if you have dry skin. 

Fill your tub halfway with warm water and add 12 to 1 cup (120 to 240 milliliters) of whole milk or coconut milk.

Regular milk is moderately exfoliating, however, coconut milk is extremely hydrating. When you have mixed it, then step into the tub and soak for 20 minutes.

• 2 cups (250 grams) of powdered whole milk, 12 cups (65 grams) of cornstarch, 12 cups (90 grams) of baking soda, and about 10 drops of essential oil (optional).
• Allow the mixture to remain for 24 hours to allow the components to permeate.
• Pour 1 to 2 cups (125 to 250 grams) of the mixture into your bath while it is running hot.
