Do you want radiant glowing skin? Follow these simple tips to keep your skin healthy and hydrated.  

1. Drink H20 – by keeping your body hydrated, you moisturise your skin from the inside out. Drink 1-2 litres a day or more if you need it. 
2. Use a good moisturiser – using a good moisturiser on exposed skin areas helps to protect the skin from sun and wind damage. 
3. Sunscreen is essential – you need to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. So slip, slop, slap or chose a foundation with SPF 30.  
4. A little Vitamin D – 10-15 minutes of sun a day is good for bone density, red blood cells and energy, but make sure it’s no longer than that. 
5. Stay cool – avoid very HOT showers as they tend to dry out your skin. 
6. Let your body breathe – cotton and cotton-blend clothing is cool. It allows the body to breathe and regulates body temperature. 
7. Love lemons – citrus contains antioxidants that support the skin, so include a good serving of lime, lemon, pineapple and orange into your diet. 
8. More fruit! – paw paw is excellent for skin and aids digestion. It can also help aid minor burns, cuts, cold sores and cracked lips and other skin conditions. 
9. Vege out – boost energy and support your immune system by eating more vegetables. Try water-based vegetables such as cucumber, zucchini and lettuce to hydrate the skin. 
10. General care – use a ‘loofah’ to stimulate circulation of blood and exfoliate dead skin cells before your shower. Finish with cold water to close pores and apply a moisturiser.
