Ever wonder how to start a healthy skin care routine that doesn’t involve the usual 12 step process? Good news, because whether you’re 20 or 60 years old, male or female, we all want to have healthy skin, look our best and these three strategies can certainly help you out!

We all don’t want to look old before our time. The onset of droopy or saggy skin, blemishes, and dry wrinkled skin is just not healthy skin care it’s, in one word, depressing.

You probably have wondered how on earth a person that’s 40 years old looks 25 yet a different 40 years old person looks 60. Yes, it could be in their genes, however, most scientists generally agree that genetics probably don’t play any more than a 10% role when it comes to our health or appearance as we age.

So, what are the instant healthy skin care strategies that determine how we look and feel as we age?

Here are three healthy skin strategies anyone can use:

1) Healthy Diet

“You are what you eat” as the saying goes and it’s still true. Eating processed foods that are lacking nutrients leads to poor looking skin, not to mention poor health. By not getting the right amounts of essential nutrients daily, your skin over time looses collagen and elastin.

Therefore, you should protect your healthy skin (and health) from the inside out! Just eat a well-balanced diet…but, if you find that your diet is lacking in essential nutrients you can always add quality supplements.

2) Healthy Exercise

Believe it or not but healthy exercise does play a role in a healthy skin care plan. Reasonable exercise, you don’t need to be a fanatic because you just have to keep everything functioning properly and flexible.

3) Healthy Skin Care Ingredients

Even skin care products have ingredients that are healthier than others to use. For instance, products which contain parabens, dioxane, or mineral oil are far less healthy for you and your skin than ingredients that are found in natural skin care products. However, not all products labeled “natural” are and that’s why reading the label and doing a bit of research is worth the time.
