BEAUTY & WELLNESS GlamSTYLE with ADEBAYO JONES the cells are made up of water. Drinking enough water prevents the skin from becoming dry, flaky and prone to wrinkles. Water in a good measure also cleanses out toxins from the system. Cutting down on caffeine can also assist in keeping your skin healthy. Caffeine is a natural diuretic and can dehydrate you. Drinking lots of water instead certainly do help to keep good skin balance. LIFESTYLE CHOICES THAT SLOWS AGEING With most factors taken into consideration, one element of a fact is defined, lifestyle choices certainly affects the appearance of one’s skin surely after a while. How then can one care for one’s skin to delay the visible signs of ageing regardless of skin type and race? Beauty they say is skin deep, and I am of the opinion that the way we live aside the products and procedures used to preserve one’s appearance is a major contributing factor to the ageing process of the skin. Diet, Lifestyle, and stress are determining factors that shape our health and also reflect on the outward appearance A basic healthy living routine guide surely will go a long way in maintaining not just one’s health but healthy looking skin also. Listed below are some of my tips to keeping healthy and maintaining a healthy skin balance. • HYDRATION Dehydration can lead to skin problems. It is critical to drink water in good measure and at least 64oz of water each day to maintain hydration. Hydration stops the skin from becoming dehydrated. The skin is an organ, and as with organs, • SMOKING Aside from the health implications of smoking, it also has damaging effects on the skin. The act of smoking itself can cause damage to the elastin leading to lines and wrinkles around the lips, mouth, and eyes which can result in early signs of ageing. Abstaining from smoking can go a long way in keeping the skin from premature ageing. • DIET Maintaining a healthy diet of greens and vegetables is primarily engaging in a natural cleansing of the skin from the inside resulting in healthy looking skin.

BEAUTY & WELLNESS example, is an excellent source of vitamin K which helps keep agerelated concerns like bone and cardiovascular disease at bay. When your health is maintained on the inside, it certainly reflects on the outside. Eating fruits which contain vitamins and antioxidants contain loads of benefits and help to maintain healthy looking skin. • CLEANS, TONE, AND MOISTURISE Women mainly who wear makeup at the end of the day should remove the eye makeup with a cotton ball and makeup remover. Next is the cleanser and afterwards concluding by toning and moisturising the skin. Taking off the makeup at night is critical if one is to maintain a good clear complexion and healthylooking skin. Leaving powders and foundation one not only dries the skin they will also clog pores which can lead to spots and or skin issues. It is important to cleanse off the makeup, then use a toner to balance the skin after cleaning and a moisturiser to restore hydration and proper moisture to the skin. Even when not one has not worn make up this routine should still be practised to remove dead skin cells and revitalise the skin. • EXFOLIATE There are those who believe you should do this one to two times a week if done at home. It is the removal of old dry, flaky dead skins on the skin’s outer surface. It is usually carried out during facials which can be done at beauty spas offering a microdermabrasion or chemical peel or at home using quality face scrub products to reveal a fresh canvas of fresh, luscious and beautiful skin underneath. • BEAUTY SLEEP BEAUTY SLEEP is used to refer to sleep considered to be sufficient to keep one looking young and beautiful. It is also defined as sleep before midnight and which is necessary for good health. Lack of sleep has considerable health implications and can lead to adverse effects on the skin also. It certainly results in less beauty and accelerates the ageing process. Good sleep enables the skin to retain moisture while the body’s hydration can rebalance itself. Lack of sleep can result in dark circles the eyes, saggy and droopy skin, puffiness, dry sky and more visible wrinkles. Getting enough sleep is certainly a must for having skin that’s glowing and less prone to premature ageing. • SUNBEDS Frequent use of sunbeds has damaging consequences to the health. Sunbeds give out ultraviolet UV rays which can cause damage to the skin cells and also increase the risk of skin cancer according to research. Frequent use can lead to skin ageing prematurely as it makes the skin look coarse leathery and also be prone to wrinkles early. • EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL Overindulging in alcohol can affect the way you look even the next day after a binge and for the important future if not contained. The skin is the body’s largest organ and alcohol will dehydrate the body every time one drinks. Over indulging is also said to deprive the skin of certain vitamins and nutrients. Aside the dangers of possible health implications like low heart rate, poor coordination, over-indulgence can lead to bloating of the face, facial redness due to enlarged blood vessels, hyperpigmentation. The skin will certainly not look fresh and plump in situations of over-consumption of alcohol, and as asserted by medical research all alcohol dehydrates the skin and can have an effect of accelerating premature ageing of the skin if not managed properly.. www.glamsquadmagazine.com 15
