In addition, poor diet, insufficient hydration and insufficient sleep can also affect skin texture and appearance negatively. As a result, a holistic approach is required to achieve and maintain healthy, glowing skin that includes balanced lifestyle, proper skin care routine and stress management technology.

In conversation, Dr. Amit Bangia, Associate Director, Department of Dermatology at Asian Hospital shared five effective and practical suggestions to enhance the skin glow.

Suggestions to increase skin glow

Hydration is important: The most basic need for healthy skin is water. When the body is dehydrated, the skin looks dull and dry. Every person should aim to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water per day.

Eat right for internal glow: According to Dr. Bangia, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds can perform miracles for the skin. Antioxidants and vitamin C rich foods help to repair skin cells and increase natural glow.

Give preference to sleep: Night time is the time when skin is repaired. At least 7-8 hours of good sleep is necessary. Your skin will shine only when it will get enough time to recreate himself.

Use sunscreen regularly: Dr. Bangia emphasizes the importance of safety from the sun. UV rays coming out of sunlight can darken the skin, make it dry and faster the aging. Use SPF 30 or more sunscreen and apply it at least 20 minutes before exiting.

Control stress with yoga and meditation: Stress directly affects your face and skin. Practices such as yoga, meditation and mild exercise help reduce stress levels and keep your skin healthy. The glowing skin is not the result of any magic, but a result of carefully skin care, balanced lifestyle and better understanding of your skin.
