If you want to keep your skin in great condition and even cut back a few years, it’s not as expensive as you think. You do not need expensive creams - simply follow these tips and you will have great radiant and glowing looking skin.It doesn’t matter what day cream you use, younger looking skin needs an SPF 15 level of protection. It is advisable to use a moisturizer with built-in sun protection or apply sunscreen moisturizer in order to dilute the SPF15. Sun damage is the major cause of premature skin aging. Make sure you are well informed on the products you buy. Most anti-aging products are formulated for mature skin. For younger people, the formula is dry and thin so it won’t be too heavy for the skins active oil glands. Try to look for oil-free moisturizer or lightweight gels or serum.With a great diet, your skin will flourish in no time. Oats contain silicic acid that is responsible for making the spongy like cells that lie between collagen and the alastin fibers of the skin. This makes the skin curvy and more youthful. Vitamin C is great for the skin so try oranges and grapefruit. You could also add sweet potatoes, sun flower seeds, spinach and avocado. As a general rule, you should get at least 3-5 servings of fruit and vegetables per day.Get plenty of oily fish and aim for 5 servings per week. Great sources include mackerel, salmon, sardines and herrings. These fish contain omega 3. This essential fat helps form prostaglandins which are responsible for keeping the skin subtle and hydrated.Lean steak is great for iron supply. If you don’t like steak, then you can have beef, sardines, mussels, lobster or sunflower seeds.Water is the greatest basic need of all. We can’t live without it and it’s essential in hydrating your skin and flushing out impurities. So drink at least a gallon a day.
