7 Tips To Achieve And Maintain Soft Smooth Skin.
A clear, even complexion is a good indicator of healthy skin, while some visible skin conditions are hereditary, things like chronic redness, itchiness, and dark spots.
Your skin’s health is influenced by several factors which include pollution, stress and sun damage that, over time, chip away at your complexion and make it more prone to roughness, wrinkles, age spots, bruises and sagging. Those who struggle with genetic conditions like eczema, ichthyosis, keratosis pilaris and psoriasis are especially susceptible to having dry and rough skin.
The buildup of dead and keratinized skin cells and repetitive irritation also take a toll on your skin’s texture as much as lack of moisture and hydration.
Sometimes it’s hard to know what your skin really needs to be healthy and smooth as we’re bombarded by marketing hype for various skin care and cosmetic products.
Below are listed the most effective and natural methods to achieve a smooth skin.
1. Have A Bath At Least Twice A Day.

That exposure to water through bathing and steaming is a great way to ensure hydration of the body thereby, keeping it free from dead cells, fresh and smooth.
2. Avoid Direct Sunlight.
The Ultraviolet which is a form of electromagnetic radiation present in sunlight is very bad for the skin. In fact, most of the skin damage in older people is caused by a lifetime of unprotected sun exposure. Direct sunlight damages the collagen and elastin that make up the connective tissues of our skin.
You should also know that 80 percent of Ultraviolet rays can penetrate cloud cover and pass through glass and car windows to your skin. In the winter, the sun’s rays can be reflected on the snow and bounce back, hitting your skin twice as harsh.
3. Eat Lots of Fruits.
Eating fruits helps in reducing inflammation and prevention of various kinds of infections that could make the skin weak and unsmooth.
Fruits with vitamins and minerals that help in synthesizing collagen and help in nourishing the like Orange, Lemon, Pawpaw/Papaya, Watermelon,
Cucumber, Pineapples, Mango and Apricot are on the front list to give your skin the best glow and smoothness.
4. Drink Enough Water.

Drinking just two cups of water can increase blood flow to the skin which gives it an even tone and radiant glow; however, it is necessary to drink approximately 4 liters of water per day for men and 3 liters for women for best results.

Exercise makes you sweat which literally leaves your skin glistening and the vigorous movements gets the heart beat rate up and improving blood circulation, which helps to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the skin faster and keeps the skin healthy, promotes collagen production, and promotes new skin cells which keeps the skin looking glowing and smooth.
During exercises the body makes more collagen, which minimizes fine lines. More human growth hormone is released, increasing muscle mass and strengthening the skin.
