Eat Healthy, Look Healthy!

If you want to look better on the outside in terms of your skin, your hair, your overall glow, you need to not only watch what you apply externally on your body but also watch what you eat.  What you take inside your body will show on the outside. Eat a healthy balanced diet and you will see your skin improve. As a matter of known fact, what  you take in is actually manifested through your skin, unless you are so blessed with good genes and good skin, the latter of which is an exception rather than the rule.

Eat Vegetables and Fruits

So start eating right especially if you have pimples, acne breakouts, uneven skin tone, dry skin, oily skin, sagging eyes, whiteheads, blackheads, and other skin problems. Skip sodas, liquor and other beverages that contain caffeine, too much sugar, etc. Also, refrain from eating sugary foods. Eat more vegetables and fruits which are rich in antioxidants.  Antioxidants keep the skin cells healthy by cleaning the body, removing waste products from cells, to give a clean, healthy glowing skin.

 

Drink Water

And yes of course, drink plenty of water each day. Water is the number beauty secret that is so obvious when it comes to the benefits it provides, but many tend to ignore it.
