While many models on magazine covers have their images digitally enhanced, those who truly have great skin can be seen from a mile away.
It's something that is universally attractive in men and women and maybe because it's such a challenge those who have it just radiate health.
This idea of radiant skin is much more appealing than what meats the eye.
Someone with radiant skin has a glow about them, and although it's the look of health that is so appealing, it's actually a reflection of good health.
Your skin is your largest organ and poor skin is usually a reflection of poor health.
While some people get born with great skin, we all have to take great care of it to make it look as good as possible.
So, how do it? Well, when it comes to your skin there are 2 important things you need to understand.
Firstly, there are external factors.
Because your skin is so exposed it's subject to a whole host of external things.
The sun, pollution, dirt and grime...
and the list goes on.
Impurities on the surface of your skin can affect it greatly which is why keeping it clean is vitally important.
Unfortunately there are so many products on the market that it is nearly impossible to know what's actually good or bad for you.
Some skin cleansers are actually just more chemicals that will do more harm than good.
The same goes for treating your skin.
Surface treatments like creams come a dime a dozen and with our ever growing desire for younger looking skin we tend to use far too much chemicals.
While external factors play an important part, it's not the most important.
The internal aspects will affect your skin far more than anything else.
It's a living organism and as I already said, it's an organ.
What you eat, what you don't eat and the way you treat yourself generally tends to reflect in your skin condition.
Healthy skin begins and ends with your diet.
Period.
There is no substitute for a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables as it has everything you need to maintain a healthy skin.
