Do you find yourself looking in the mirror and not feeling comfortable with your skin? Are you one of the many people looking for ways to give your complexion a natural boost without investing too much time or money? If so, this article is for you! A renowned naturopath has discovered two simple but effective tips that can help anyone achieve a more radiant complexion in just a few days. Read on to find out how she does it, including her insider tips on how to make positive lifestyle changes that bring lasting results.
What are the reasons behind this pale and pale complexion?
You may be wondering why my skin is dull? To regain the luminous appearance of your skin, it is essential to understand why your complexion has lost its radiance. Here are some responsible elements:
Dead skin cells.
Every day we lose millions of dead cells, which can accumulate and pile up on top of each other like dust particles on a surface. This layer of dead skin can prevent the skin from reflecting light, giving your face an ashen appearance. With age, the skin’s ability to renew itself decreases, leading to an increased accumulation of dead cells.
Free radicals.
Pollution not only affects your lungs, but also your skin. Dirt and sulfur dioxide molecules in the air can create free radicals (unstable molecules that damage your body’s cells). They can have a negative effect on your skin, damaging collagen and stimulating pigment production, making your complexion look tired and dull.
Stress.
When you’re stressed, your fight-or-flight response kicks in, diverting blood flow from your face to other parts of your body, like the muscles, making your skin look less vibrant and dull.
Dehydration.
If you don’t drink enough water or if the weather is particularly dry outside (for example, during a hot summer or a very cold winter), the amount of moisture below the skin’s surface may decrease. Leaving skin that looks deflated and dull, instead of plump and luminous.
Unhealthy lifestyle.
Smoking, lack of exercise, and a diet consisting primarily of processed foods high in sugar, salt, and fat can seriously impact the glow of your complexion.
Two practices to practice every morning for glowing skin.
Activate lymphatic drainage:
A massage is a great way to activate lymphatic drainage in the face. To make it:
Start by washing your hands and applying a little oil or lotion to your fingers. Rub your palms together until they are warm. Start by placing your hands on either side other part of the neck, just under the earlobes, and perform light circular massages with the fingertips, moving towards the chin. Continue to the middle of the neck, then move up to massage along the jawline. Massage gently while circles all around the jaw, going slowly from the chin towards both ears. Move up to massage around and under both eyes, exerting light pressure with your index fingers. To stimulate lymphatic drainage and promote circulation in this sensitive area, use light tapping movements with both fingertips rather than directly massaging wrinkles or crow’s feet. Work along both eyebrows and temples using light kneading motions that move up toward the top of each ear in a smooth motion. sweeping.Finish with light stroking movements that cover all areas of the face, from the forehead to the chin, ending with the neck, where you started.
This helps promote relaxation after stimulating circulation. Be sure to always use light pressure when performing a facial massage, as too much pressure or deep massage techniques on the facial muscles can cause wrinkling or sagging over time due to weakening of the ligaments and facial muscles that maintain the structure of the skin.
A breakfast rich in antioxidants.
Start the day off right with an antioxidant-rich breakfast that will give you energy and help boost your circulation!
A great option is a smoothie made with fresh fruits loaded with antioxidants. Try using a combination of blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries and/or cherries. Not only are these fruits packed with powerful antioxidants like vitamin C and polyphenols, but they also contain fiber, which helps reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, improving circulation.
Oatmeal with fresh fruit is another great breakfast choice. Oats are rich in soluble fiber which helps lower cholesterol levels and improve blood circulation. Add freshly cut apples or bananas to increase the antioxidant benefits and add a touch of sweetness.
If you’re looking for something savory, try an omelette filled with colorful vegetables like peppers, mushrooms, onions and tomatoes. It’s a great way to get your daily dose of vitamin E and other plant compounds that provide powerful protection against oxidative stress. By adding some avocado, you’ll get monounsaturated fats which can help reduce inflammation in the body and improve overall circulation.
Whatever breakfast meal you choose, make sure it includes foods rich in antioxidants that have been proven to have positive effects on our circulatory system!
Extra: Focus on natural facial masks.
Natural face masks are perfect for people who want to maintain fresh, healthy skin without relying on potentially harsh chemicals. There are a range of natural ingredients that can be used to create a mask to suit any need, from brightening and refreshing to nourishing and revitalizing.
Whether you want to DIY your own mask or buy one ready-made, natural face masks are growing in popularity as we become aware of the long-term benefits they can offer our skin. Using natural masks regularly can help ensure your face gets the nutrients it needs, while feeling softer and smoother over time. Perfect for a moment of relaxation or an evening with friends!
