Having healthy skin is a big part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The condition of your skin can affect other aspects of your health, which is why caring for your skin should be a part of your daily routine. Many people don’t realize just how important healthy skin can be.
What healthy skin looks like:
Healthy skin is…
- Smooth
- Warm
- Even
- Not too dry and not too moist

Why Healthy Skin is Important
Your skin serves as a protective layer, keeping out dirt, bacteria, sun rays, and other outside objects. Also, your skin has nerve endings that tell you if something is hot or cold or sharp or dull. These functions are important to keep you both safe and healthy.
Many factors in your everyday life can affect your skin. For example, high stress levels can increase breakouts, harsh products can lead to dry skin, and smoking and sun exposure can lead to skin cancer, to name just a few. Eating well, not smoking, and paying attention to your skin will help you get not just healthy skin, but a healthy mind as well.
Tips For Healthy Skin
- Protect yourself from the sun
- Don’t smoke
- Be gentle on your skin
- Eat a healthy diet
- Drink plenty of water
- Manage your stress

We strongly believe that your mind affects your body and that what you eat matters, especially when it comes to skin care. We would much rather keep you well than treat preventable diseases. Many skin diseases are preventable if you care for your skin properly.
