Our skin is usually the first thing other people notice about us. And of course, many of us treasure having beautiful skin! While you can use all sorts of chemicals to improve your complexion, the truth is that there are many changes to your environment and diet that can keep you looking beautiful.
Especially in Nigeria where we have a lot of things around us that can determine the complexity of our skin and its improvement. We need to follow some steps to achieve this at a very short time.
Here are a few other tips to improve your skin complexion:
Drink Green Tea
Green tea has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce redness and blotchiness. According to some experts, green tea can also prevent the destruction of collagen. Make sure you’re drinking iced green tea; hot beverages can make blotchiness and redness worse.
Monitor Your Stress Levels
Heightened stress levels increase the production of cortisol and other hormones that can lead to acne and other issues. While it’s impossible to avoid stress altogether, find an activity that helps you relax, whether that’s meditation, boxing, working out (Gym) or something else.

Watch What You Eat and Drink
Unlike what you may read online, your diet doesn’t have a huge impact on your skin complexion. However, staying hydrated and eating nutrient-rich foods that support overall good health can keep your skin generally healthy. In addition, dairy may worsen acne for some people, so watch your intake if you’re breaking out.
Consider Your Environment
Poor air quality, especially smoky air, can heavily damage your skin. Too much sun exposure can do the same. Be sure you are breathing clean air as often as you can. When you’re out in the sun, wear a sunblock that doesn’t contain damaging chemicals.
Get Some Sleep!
Healthy, restful sleep is your best friend when you’re trying to get clearer skin. Sleep activates the systems in your body that repair skin while being sleep-deprived can trigger the release of hormones that cause outbreaks. Be sure you get seven to eight hours of sleep (on a clean pillowcase!) every night.
