ARE YOU SUFFERING FROM INFLAMMATION? FIND OUT NOW
What your body considers a natural reaction can actually be a bad thing for your skin. Inflammation occurs when your body encounters something that activates its defenses. Bacteria, viruses and injuries can all activate an inflammatory reaction in the body, which brings white blood cells to an area of the body to start the healing process. But, sometimes, the process lingers and can lead to low levels of chronic inflammation, affecting your blood vessels, joints and yes, even your skin.
Nobody can pinpoint one thing that affects skin inflammation, but diet, stress and lack of sleep can all be culprits. As the body’s largest organ, and one of the most active, your skin is usually one of the first places that inflammation can appear. Staying on top of stress levels, maintaining a healthy diet and getting plenty of sleep can all work to keep inflammation in check, but not all of us can juggle those things. Inflammation can show up on the skin in the form of Rosacea and wrinkles as well as sagging skin. Wound healing and collagen production can slow and your skin can appear sallow when you’re being affected by inflammation. Acne can also flare up when inflammation levels are high, but there are a few ways to keep everything in balance so that your skin can look its best.
Diet is one way that you can monitor the inflammation in your body. Eating a diet rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fats, which can be found in fatty fish, can keep inflammation away. Antioxidants from fruits and vegetables can battle inflammation by reducing the amount of free radical damage in your skin. If you find yourself with dull-looking skin, dry patches or become prone to sensitivity, a visit to Beauty Journey can help, too.
