3 musts for great-looking skin

Source: Stealth Health, Reader’s Digest

If you do only three things to improve the look and feel of your skin, our experts agree that you should make them these three:

  1. Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day to stay hydrated. This helps flush toxins through your kidneys instead of your skin.
  2. Follow a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables and fish. When researchers from Monash University in Australia studied the diets of 453 people aged 70 and older from Australia, Greece and Sweden to see if there was any correlation between what they ate and the number of wrinkles in their skin, they found those who ate the most fruits, vegetables and fish had the fewest wrinkles. Conversely, the researchers found, foods high in saturated fat, including meat, butter and full-fat dairy, as well as soft drinks, cakes, pastries and potatoes, increased the likelihood of skin wrinkling.
  3. Protect your skin from the sun all year round with a sunblock with an SPF of 30 or greater. Just because there’s snow on the ground doesn’t mean your skin can’t be damaged by the sun, says Andrea Lynn Cambio, M.D., a New York City dermatologist. Time outdoors is time well spent, but be sure to keep your skin either well covered or well protected with sunblock. In particular, the sun is at its most damaging between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
