Water is fundamental for every cell in our body, including our skin, which is about 64% water. Proper hydration helps flush out toxins, supports cellular repair, and maintains elasticity, all of which contribute to a plump, healthy appearance. Aim to drink at least 33 millilitres of water per kilogram of body weight each day to keep your skin and body hydrated.
Tip: Begin your day with a glass of water infused with fresh lemon. The vitamin C will not only help detoxify but also boost your skin’s natural glow.
Science behind hydration: Research shows that consistent hydration increases skin elasticity and smoothness, while reducing roughness and the appearance of fine lines over time.
A diet rich in plant-based foods is essential for maintaining vibrant skin. Fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats offer a bounty of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that protect skin cells and encourage repair. Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids—like salmon, chia seeds, and walnuts—support collagen production and reduce inflammation, which can keep your skin looking youthful and clear.
The Gut-Skin Connection: The health of your gut biome is directly linked to your skin. Eating a diet filled with organic, fibre-rich, and fermented foods helps support a balanced gut, which in turn impacts skin clarity and radiance.
Top Foods for Glowing Skin:
– Avocados: Rich in healthy fats that hydrate and protect skin.
– Berries: High in antioxidants, they help combat free radicals and support collagen.
– Leafy Greens: Spinach, kale, and other greens are high in vitamins A and C, which contribute to healthy cell turnover.
– Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, chia, and flaxseeds are loaded with omega-3s that reduce inflammation
The skin is our largest organ, and when we’re stressed, it shows. Practising deep, mindful breathing helps reduce stress hormones that can cause breakouts and dull skin. Mindful breathing exercises—such as inhaling through the nose for seven counts and exhaling for seven—can help stimulate the lymphatic system, improving circulation and oxygen flow to the skin.
Tip: Try taking a few minutes each day for mindful breathing. This practice improves overall wellbeing and gives the skin a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance.
Regular exercise does wonders for your skin. Physical activity increases blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to skin cells and helping to carry away waste products, including free radicals. Sweating also allows the skin to naturally detoxify, giving you that post-workout glow. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise most days, whether it’s yoga, brisk walking, or your favourite sport.
Tip: A mindful approach to movement—whether it’s a morning stretch or an evening walk—can improve circulation and help maintain the skin’s youthful, firm texture.
What you apply to your skin is just as important as what you eat and drink. Using clean beauty products that are free of harmful chemicals, like KIBI, provides your skin with natural, nourishing ingredients that strengthen its natural barrier. Look for products that contain minerals, vitamins, and plant-based ingredients known for their cleansing, hydrating, and soothing properties.
Key Ingredients for Radiant Skin:
– Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide: These mineral-based sunscreens protect skin from UV damage without clogging pores.
– Mica: Adds a subtle glow and luminosity, making your skin appear more youthful and vibrant.
– Kaolin Clay: Helps to detoxify, control oil, and refine skin texture.
When using makeup, remember that less is more. Mineral-based products, like KIBI’s line, not only enhance your natural beauty but also let your skin breathe and avoid the build-up that can lead to dullness.
Beauty sleep is real! Our skin regenerates while we rest, making sleep essential for a healthy, glowing complexion. Aim for 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night, as this is when your body repairs damage from UV exposure, pollution, and other environmental stressors.
Tip: Create a calming evening ritual, such as turning off screens an hour before bed and using relaxing essential oils, to improve your sleep quality.
Sun exposure is one of the primary causes of premature skin ageing. Even on cloudy days, UV rays penetrate the skin, leading to sunspots, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. Using an SPF of 30 or higher daily, regardless of the weather, is essential to protect against UV damage.
Additionally, environmental stressors like pollution can damage the skin barrier. Cleanse thoroughly every evening to remove impurities and consider antioxidant-rich serums that provide a barrier against pollutants.
Self-care and a positive mindset play an underestimated but vital role in our skin’s appearance. Practising gratitude, engaging in activities you love, and surrounding yourself with positivity all contribute to inner and outer beauty. A joyful, positive outlook can reduce stress, support better sleep, and ultimately make you look and feel healthier.
