There are hundreds of natural skin care tips that I could tell you about. The ones that you will read about here are at the top of my list.

Eating a healthy well-balanced diet is not only important for the inside of your body. It is also important for the skin’s health and appearance.

A well-functioning thyroid gland is essential for a beautiful complexion, shiny hair and strong fingernails. The nutrient iodine is one that helps to regulate thyroid hormone production. Kelp and seafood are good sources of the nutrient.

Some types of seafood and fatty fish are good sources of another important nutrient. Those are omega-3 fatty acids. The benefits of omega-3s are numerous. Those most relevant to the skin’s appearance have to do with fighting inflammation and improving moisture content.

Inflammation is involved in acne, psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis and allergic reactions. The anti-inflammatory activity of omega-3s is beneficial for all of those conditions. The best results are seen when omega-3 intake is increased and omega-6 intake is decreased.

If you are concerned about the skin’s appearance as you age, research has shown that omega-3 fish oil improves the skin’s firmness and structure. So, now you have two natural skin care tips. Eat a balanced diet and take omega-3 fish oil on a daily basis.

Even if you do consume all the right foods all the time (which is hard to do), you may still be missing out on some important antioxidants and other nutrients. So, my third tip is to take a good multi-nutritional supplement on a daily basis.

Look for one that contains the antioxidants found in green tea. They have been shown to improve hydration, promote good circulation and help protect against sun damage.

No list of natural skin care tips would be complete without this one. Use common sense in the sun.

It is particularly important to protect your face from burning. But, using sunscreens does not seem to be the best choice. A number of published studies have now shown that the chemicals in synthetic sunscreens may be detrimental.

There is also reason to believe that some people rely too heavily on sunscreens. They spend more time in the sun than they should, because they believe they are protected.

We need some sunlight in order for the body to produce vitamin D, an important antioxidant that may help to prevent heart disease. Because vitamin D deficiency is on the rise, dermatologists are suggesting that people expose their arms and legs, but keep their faces covered by wearing a hat and sunglasses.

While the following is the last of my natural skin care tips, it may well be the most important of all, particularly if you want to look your best as the years roll by. Use only the best anti-aging skincare products.

Look for brands that contain no allergens, irritants or toxins. Nourishing plant-based oils, extracts from kelp, protein and essential fatty acids are the right ingredients. Hopefully, these natural skin care tips will help you as they have helped me.
