1. Quit Your Junk Food Habit and Eat Better Now
There’s plenty of research that says that eating too much sugar, fast food, cake, cookies, soda and other junk will do a real number on your skin. On the other hand, eating a variety of foods from each food group helps load your skin up with the nutrients it needs to stay healthy, glowing, radiant and fresh. Particularly good choices include salmon, almonds, coconut oil and red bell peppers.
2. Choose Products Designed for Your Skin Type
If you’re prone to acne or have really dry skin, using the wrong products is never going to get you great skin. You’ve got to use cleansers, moisturizers and cosmetics that are meant for your skin. Talk to your dermatologist about whether you have dry, normal or oily skin so that you can buy the perfect products for perfect skin.

3. Make Exercise Part of Your Daily Routine
When you exercise you ensure that your blood circulates in a healthy way and you keep your weight down. Combined, these two things can help promote healthy skin. You need at least 30 minutes of cardio most days of the week and at least two strength training sessions each week. Add this to your schedule and you’ll have perfect skin in no time.
4. Make a Yearly Appointment with Your Dermatologist
When you see your dermatologist, she can assess your skin and detect any issues that need attention. She also does a skin cancer check. Having to have a melanoma or carcinoma removed is not conducive to perfect skin, so this is pretty important. You also get the chance to discuss the right products for your skin. See your dermatologist once a year and your skin will thank you for life.

Seeing your dermatologist once a year is crucial for maintaining healthy and perfect skin. Not only can they assess your skin and detect any issues, but they also perform skin cancer checks to catch any potential problems early on. This is especially important for preventing the development of melanoma or carcinoma. Additionally, your dermatologist can recommend the right products for your skin type, ensuring that you are using the most effective and safe products. By making a yearly appointment with your dermatologist, you are taking proactive steps towards achieving and maintaining perfect skin for life.
5. Wear Sunscreen Every Single Day, No Matter What
You’ve heard this before, but it bears saying again. Sunscreen helps fight age spots and skin cancer and you need to be wearing it all day, every day. You want to slather on at least an SPF 30 on any exposed skin before you leave the house. If you plan on being out on the sun for longer, make sure you wear SPF 50 and reapply every couple of hours. In 30 to 40 years, you will be so glad you did this.
