We all want to be perceived younger and vibrant. But how easy it is? Studies in Germany show that a woman’s age is perceived by the appearance of skin in the specific areas – hands, chest and arms. Most importantly the face shows it all. What can be trusted for looking 10 years younger? Here are some Soft Skin Secrets to enhance your beauty experience.

You are what you eat

Youthful supple skin does not come by chance. You need to work on your eating to rejuvenate your skin. Most skin diet advices bring your attention on intake of fruits and vegetables. However, the most important beauty ingredient is protein.

Protein is available in sea food, chicken breast, port etc. Milk, dairy products including curd, cottage cheese, buttermilk etc., soy, oats eggs, protein shakes are some of the vegetarian protein sources. Protein is the building block for skin too. Protein helps in strengthening and rejuvenating skin. Some foods like soy boost the collagen production.

Drinking sufficient quantity of water improves circulation and keeps the skin hydrated and suppler. Catechins, the antioxidants present in green tea, protect the skin from oxidative damage. Mono- and polyunsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids are healthy foods for a smooth moisturized skin. They are found in foods like fish, flaxseed, olive oil and soybeans.

Your skin needs exercise too

During exercise, the blood flow increases. This increased blood flow nourishes skin cells to keep them alive. It also makes more oxygen and nutrients available to the skin. That’s how your cheeks blush and skin glows instantly.

Exercises release sweat sweeping away the impurities from your skin. Sweating releases a natural antibiotic called Dermcidin which protects against few skin ailments.

Additionally, a serious work out enhances your sleep quality and thus improves skin glow and reduces dark circles.

Take the Beauty Sleep

Quality beauty sleep is a must have for the vibrant, refreshed skin. An optimal sleep of seven to nine hours is the most powerful beauty treatment as nature’s gift.

During this undisturbed sleep, the body works on skin renewal and recovery by releasing hormones which boost the cell production. Dermatologists suggest applying products with anti-aging ingredients like glycolic acid, beta hydroxy acid and retinoids at night for best results. It slows the aging process and works towards erasing wrinkles.
