Here at the Aesthetic Skin Clinic, we offer a wide range of aesthetic treatments to help you gain inner confidence and be happy with the skin you’re in. However, whatever they may say, beauty is more than skin deep and there are a number of ways that you can boost your beauty from the inside out.

Hydrate

Water is incredibly important to the human body; it makes up around 60% of an adult body. If you get dehydrated, it shows in your skin; it looks dull and it doesn’t bounce back the way it should.

To keep your skin hydrated you should drink plenty of water and cut down on things like alcohol, coffee and salty foods which can contribute to dehydration.

You should also avoid staying out in the sun too long, as the sun can dry your skin out, too.

Sleep
Yes, you do need your beauty sleep. If you don’t get enough sleep your skin will look dull, it starts to sag and bag, and lack of sleep can cause blood vessels to dilate causing dark circles around your eyes. Not only that, but when you haven’t had enough sleep you’ll also get stressed and tense, and this can have its own effect on the appearance of your skin.

Don’t take this as a reason to stay in bed all weekend however; oversleeping can be just as bad. If all you’re doing is sleeping, your body doesn’t have a chance to burn off energy and it can get stored as fat; too much sleep also has an effect on your brain chemistry and can cause headaches.

Eat

You are what you eat – it’s not just a cliché, it’s a fact. Your skin needs an array of vitamins and minerals which you won’t find in the ready meal aisle of the supermarket. The most important is probably vitamin A, which is found in dark leafy greens like kale, in carrots, apricots and mango, and in dairy products.

You also need plenty of vitamin C, which is found in fresh fruit like citrus fruits, kiwi and strawberries, and also in those dark leafy greens. These are only a couple of the vital vitamins, but if you make sure that you’re getting at least the recommended five a day – and preferably more – you’ll be well on the way to eating yourself beautiful.

Here at the Aesthetic Skin Clinic, we can provide a range of treatments to supplement your internal beauty regime and give you the skin you deserve. If you’re looking for Thermage in the UK, or even if you’re considering surgical options, we can provide you with the best possible care. For more information, contact us today.
