We all want to look and feel our best. With so many health and beauty products on store shelves and in advertisements, the vast range of options can be overwhelming and it can be hard to know exactly what to do to look beautiful naturally. When it comes to health and beauty, it’s important to know science-backed tips for good health, including healthy eating tips, at-home beauty tips and more. Here are eight natural health tips to look gorgeous.

  1. Get enough sleep

Ever feel like there’s not enough time in the day to get everything done? Or, maybe you have a habit of staying up late to binge-watch your favorite show. No matter what your typical day looks like, it’s important to make sure that getting enough sleep is part of your to-do list.


Getting proper sleep can help decrease how often you get sick, as well as reduce your risk of serious health conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Getting enough sleep also helps you maintain a healthy weight, improve your mood and reduce stress.


Prioritizing sleep may mean making some changes in your schedule to accommodate the 7-8 hours of sleep recommended for adults. Try to work out earlier in the day instead of right before bed, avoid large meals close to bedtime, and try to get some fresh air outside every day.

  1. Drink plenty of water

Did you know that your body is made of about 60% water? It’s needed for important functions like digestion, circulation, transporting nutrients, and more. Drinking water offers a variety of benefits for your health and appearance.


When you’re dehydrated, your skin can appear more wrinkled and dry than usual. Water can help your skin stay hydrated and looking its best. If weight loss or maintenance is your goal, replacing sugary drinks with water can help prevent you from consuming excessive calories in a day, and eating water-rich foods like vegetables, fruit and beans can help you feel full faster than foods low in the water.


To get enough water in your day, try drinking water with your meals and snacks, and take a bottle of water with you when you’re on to go.

  1. Protect your skin

Getting fresh air is important, but spending time in the sun exposes your skin to ultraviolet light. Too much exposure to UV light – whether from the sun or even from tanning beds – can cause sunburns, signs of premature aging like dark spots, wrinkles, and leathery skin, and cancer.


To keep your skin looking healthy, be sure to wear sunscreen. Instead of sunbathing or using a tanning bed, use a sunless tanner for that sun-kissed look. For example, CLEANTAN is a self-tanner concentrate that offers customizable color, no odor or toxic downsides, and plant-based ingredients for a beautiful beachy glow that doesn’t require UV rays.

 

  1. Eat nutritious meals

Healthy eating can help you look and feel great. In fact, eating meals that provide a balanced diet can help prevent skin problems, including acne. Foods with a high glycemic index, such as white bread, potatoes, and other snacks and drinks high in sugar, appear to cause some people to experience breakouts. Liming such foods may help reduce acne breakouts.


Keeping a diet low in carbs and fats and high in vitamin C is tied to reduced skin thinning, wrinkles, and skin dryness related to age. To eat healthily, try making meals that include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and fat-free or low-fat dairy products, and limit the amount of sodium and added sugars you consume.

 

  1. Move your body

Exercise isn’t just for weight loss – it provides numerous benefits for your physical and mental health. Yes, exercise can help you control your weight when combined with eating a healthy diet, but it also reduces your risk of heart disease and strengthens your muscles and bones. Exercise also causes your body to boost its production of endorphins, which helps improve your mood and reduces stress.

 

  1. Start a skincare routine

Your skin deals with a lot, including harsh weather, sweating, stress, and more. Thank it with a skincare routine that helps it stay healthy, resilient, and looking great. In the morning, focus on prepping your skin to prevent damage. This may include rinsing your face with warm water, then applying moisturizer and sunscreen. In the evening, focus on cleansing and repairing your skin. Wash your face with water and cleanser to remove makeup and dirt, then apply moisturizer. In between washing and moisturizing, you might also try products like an exfoliant, which helps scrub away dead skin cells, toner, which helps smooth and soften your skin, or serum, which helps improve your skin’s texture.

 

  1. Practice self-care

Stress can cause a lot of problems, including headaches, pain, fatigue, upset stomachs, irritability, anxiety, and more. Stress can also worsen skin problems like acne and psoriasis, and cause hives.


Practicing self-care can help you manage your stress and improve your health. Self-care will look a little different from person to person but often includes regular physical activity, taking part in calming hobbies, talking with loved ones, meditating, and more.

  1. Love yourself

This simple health tip is basic in concept but not always easy to practice. When it comes to beauty, it’s important to remember that perfection is not the goal. In fact, perfect isn’t achievable. If your time and energy are spent chasing “perfect,” you may find yourself feeling burned out and unhappy.


Instead, focus on loving yourself as you are. Then, show appreciation for all the things your body allows you to do by taking care of it. When you get enough sleep, eat a healthy diet, practice good skin-care and self-care habits, and more, you’ll start looking and feeling better on the inside and out.
