Beauty: Tips on How to Have a Naturally Smooth Skin Without Applying Heavy Chemicals

The importance of having a smooth skin today in our society cannot be overemphasized. Starting from the young to the old, everyone wants to look radiant and beautiful. People don’t want to have a smooth skin for just having a smooth skin, people want to have a smooth skin for different reasons; some want to  have a smooth skin to build their confidence, while others want to have a smooth skin to attract admirers and so on. Well whatever the case may be, as the saying goes “looking good is good business”. This articles will help you realise that dream skin you've been hoping for.

Below are tips on how to improve your skin without applying those heavy chemicals.

Drink the Required Amount of Water

Water is a universal solvent that is everywhere.  Though not everyone has access to clean water, but I believe if u can afford to buy data to read this article, then water shouldn’t be an issue for you. According to studies, it has been found that the body needs at least 3.7litres of water for adult male and 2.7litres for adult female per day to stay well hydrated and to aid the functionality of our systems. What happens when you don’t ingest enough water is that it leaves your skin dry and rumple and in some cases, it causes breakage of the skin thereby giving the skin a rough look. But when you drink the required amount of water (which has been stated), apart from increasing the blood and sperm level, it also leaves your skin supple and smooth.

Tomatoes

Tomato consumption in our today’s cuisine is almost unavoidable. Tomato can be consumed either raw, or can be converted to paste to prepare stew. Tomato is the edible, often red, berry of plant Solanum lycopersicum, commonly known as tomato plant. A tomato is 95% water, contains 4% carbohydrates and less than 1% fat and protein (Wikipedia). A raw gram amount, raw tomatoes supply 18 calories and are a moderate source of vitamin C. Tomato contains lycopene (which is a form of carotene) which protects the skin from sunburns and other health hazards. Sunburn is a condition that often leaves dark patches on our skin thereby giving the skin a rough appearance, but with the inclusion of tomatoes in our diet, we are rest assured that this condition is well stabilized.

Dark Chocolate

According to Wikipedia, Dark chocolate is a form of chocolate containing coca solids, cocoa butter and sugar, without the milk found in milk chocolate. Dark chocolate helps in hydrating the skin. This “desert” contains high antioxidants (which helps skin repairs itself from damages). For those that have wrinkles, this therapy is for you; it helps removes wrinkles and scales from the skin.

Minimize Intake of Fatty Foods

Fatty foods are foods that contain high level of saturated fats. Most foods that contain saturated fatty acids are derived from animal sources like beef, pork, egg, etc. though there are plants sources that also contain saturated fatty acids, like peanuts (groundnut), avocado pear etc. Fatty foods are not only hazardous to our heart alone but also to our skin. This is because, when you eat these foods, your body responds by producing more insulin, which increases the production of oil in our skin and contributes to the clogging of follicles. And clogging of skin follicles causes acne. In simple terms, consumption of too much saturated fatty acids causes pimples on our skin which makes it to look rough. So therefore, the minimizing of intake of such foods will definitely help in keeping our skin smooth and fresh.
