For many girls, skincare is all about using the right products in a time of beauty, personal care, and trends. If you are also one of them, you need to change your opinion and know what needs to be done. TruLume believes in internal nourishment and external care for an elevated skincare experience. Let's understand the role of internal nourishment and make the right choices for external care: 

Radiant skin through internal nourishment: 

Skin is the protective organ in our body that needs nourishment and care, too. During our life cycle, many changes happen to skin texture, moisture level, fine lines, dryness, etc. Proper nutrients and lifestyle have significant effects on skincare. 

A few nutrients that play an essential role in internal nourishment for the skin are: 

• Vitamin A: This vitamin is known for its antioxidant properties. It plays a vital role in cell growth and healing. Vitamin A helps in reducing acne and blemishes on the skin. It also protects from sun damage and pigmentation. So, any skincare routine without vitamin A is incomplete. 
• Vitamin C: It is another well-known antioxidant. It plays a vital role in collagen production and prevents skin aging. 
• Vitamin E: This fat-soluble vitamin helps in reducing inflammation. This vitamin helps reduce skin damage due to the sun and UV rays. 
• Zinc: This micronutrient can boost collagen production and give elasticity to your skin. It is one of the best ways to reduce the effects of aging and get young-looking skin. 
• Omega-3 Fatty acids: These essential fatty acids play an important role in oil production, maintaining moisture, and skin texture. This is a helpful vitamin for a dry and regular skincare routine. 

Fundamental changes in your day-to-day lifestyle can help you get above nutrients and ensure improved skin health. Some of the tips to get radiant skin are given below:

• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables regularly. Consume 3 to 4 fruits and vegetables daily to get the required vitamins and minerals.
• Drink enough water. This is the first step towards skin hydration. 
• Minimize your intake of junk food and go for food that is not packaged. 
• Get enough sleep. Sleep is the natural healer. It can help you recover from your day-to-day stressors. 
• Practice meditation and mindfulness for flawless skin. 
• Learn to manage your stress. Stress has a direct impact on your hormonal balance. High-stress hormone levels and cortisol contribute to acne, blemishes, and dull-looking skin. So, adopt stress management techniques in your day-to-day life. 
• Regular exercise helps manage stress, improves blood circulation, increases oxygen uptake, and nourishes skin cells. 
• Take care of your gut microbiota. Gut health influences your skin clarity. Probiotics and prebiotic-rich foods help in balancing gut health. 

Choose appropriate Skincare Products. As we discussed, internal and external nourishment is essential for the skin. Let's understand more about skincare products and their usage:

• Skin cleansing is essential, and as per your skin type, you can select a cleanser that is best for you. Regular cleanser use will help you eliminate pollutants, dust particles, etc. Use gentle sulfate-free cleansers to wash away dirt and avoid excess oil production. 
• Alcohol-free toners help close the pores and prevent blackheads and whiteheads. 
• Apply the right moisturizer and sunscreen lotion to avoid dryness and skin damage due to the sun's rays. 
• Try to avoid excess use of scrub and exfoliation as this can damage skin texture. Also, always be careful when selecting skincare products and avoid harsh chemicals. 

Focus on Natural Remedies for flawless skin. In India, herbs and spices are part of our day-to-day life. These spices also have the most beneficial effect on our skin. A few household remedies, like aloe vera, turmeric, rose water, etc, can be part of your weekly skincare routine. 

In the 21st century, achieve a balance of internal nourishment and external support for beautiful skin. It's not just about using skincare products but achieving overall balance, too.
