When you walk through the city these days, you can see some tired faces. When I look in the mirror, I miss the sun even more, as pale and dull as my complexion has become. Not a trace of radiance left. Even the best highlighter in the world won't help. But what can you do? I'll tell you in this article and answer all your questions about radiant skin. So, let's G(l)ow!
1. nutrition for more radiant skin? What can you eat to make your skin glow?
Let's start with the basics. At JUNGLÜCK , we always look at skincare from a holistic perspective. Because even the very best skincare can only be fully effective if we give it a little help with a healthy lifestyle.
Tip 1: More water for radiant skin
I know it's not necessarily the number one insider tip, but drinking enough water helps the whole body to perform its natural functions, such as metabolism. And this also applies to the skin. If you drink 2-3 liters of water every day, it is easier for it to regenerate, to Protect you from the outside and to retain moisture. The effect? Your skin becomes plumper, well moisturized AND you get a wonderful natural glow.
Tip 2: Green tea as a booster for radiant skin
Our product developer Moni swears by green tea. Brewed in a bag or as powder in a delicious matcha latte. Packed with antioxidants, green tea protects your skin from free radicals. Free what? You can imagine them like this: They buzz in the air around you and attack your skin. Every day, your skin has the task of fending off these free radicals to keep you healthy. So your skin is your protective shield and the antioxidants strengthen it in its defense against the intruders, keeping it fresh and strong.
Tip 3: Antioxidants from the inside for radiant skin
Your diet can regulate a lot of things in your body. It really is the basis of our vitality, including our skin of course. In addition to green tea, there are other foods that can make your skin glow. In general, fruit and vegetables, but also plant-based oils (make sure they are of high quality) and nuts are rich in antioxidants. Berries and pomegranates, grapes and spinach, carrots and apples can therefore be eaten more often from now on. A delicious way to support your skin. And boost your natural glow at the same time.
2. conscious lifestyle = radiant skin
Apart from watching what we eat, there are other things you can do to not only get your skin out of the winter slump, but also your mood. You probably already know this too, but our lifestyle has a huge impact on the appearance of our skin. It is a very important factor that is largely, if not entirely, in our hands. Here are the lifestyle tips that will help your skin glow:
Tip 4: Sport for radiant skin
When we move, we reduce stress, we get our circulation going, our pores open up and we flush out toxins. We feel balanced, emotionally and physically. This has an effect on all areas of our lives, including our skin. From yoga to HIIT, boxing, swimming, jogging, Pilates, cycling, whatever you enjoy is also good for your skin. With a certain amount of regularity, the post-workout glow will soon become a permanent glow.
Tip 5: Sleep radiantly
The same applies here as with sport: restful, quality sleep has an impact on your entire life. You have more energy in everyday life, feel less flabby, your mood is brightened and sugar cravings also decrease. All effects that will breathe life back into your pale skin. But how can you get more restful sleep? Make sure you have a cool bedroom. Ideally, leave all screens switched off 2-3 hours before going to bed. If you find this point as difficult as I do, at least make sure you set the night mode so that the blue light waves are greatly reduced, as they prevent the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. Alcohol worsens the quality of sleep. Unfortunately, this is not true when it comes to the quality of sleep, as the body is far too active for this. Also, you shouldn't go to bed with a full stomach. The digestive process also prevents you from getting a really good night's sleep. The right mattress and the right pillow also make a huge difference. It really is worth investing a little more money here.
These are just a few tips to improve the quality of your sleep, but they might just help you to wake up refreshed AM . Your skin will thank you with a glow and the rest of your body with more energy.
3. which care products make your skin glow? Creams, serums and oils: your glow routine
Tip 6: No radiant skin without the right cleanser
Unfortunately, it is a very common myth that the skin needs to be scrubbed properly to be really clean. peeling-beads, salts, aggressive surfactants or even very harsh cleansing wipes - NOT the way to go. Such methods soak up the skin, rinse out its lipids and nutrients or, in the worst case, even cause micro-injuries. Even the best skincare products struggle to restore all the nutrients the skin needs. So: mild but thorough Cleanse. We recommend the Cleansing Oil or the Cleansing Gel. The oil cleanses gently and is particularly suitable for removing make-up or sun cream residue. The Cleansing Gel is perfect for blemished or combination skin skin, as it soothes the skin while cleansing it thanks to the organic chamomile extract it contains. Both products contain only very mild plant-based surfactants. This means that the skin remains intact during cleanser and can retain its nutrients and lipids. And the rest of the skin care works much better too! cleanser is the be-all and end-all of skin care and the basic building block for radiant skin!
