Dr. Surbhi Deshpande, a dermatologist at Zynova Shalby Hospital in Mumbai, India, said that when you are vegetarian, your body will prioritize vital functions, sometimes causing dry or acne. Maintaining a reasonable skin care routine will help you keep your skin radiant and hydrated.
Here are some tips to maintain healthy skin when eating vegetarian:
Drink enough water
Make sure you drink enough water throughout the day. Water not only helps the body stay hydrated but also helps the skin to be bright and hydrated. You can also add more water-rich foods like cucumber and watermelon.
Regularly hydrate
Applying moisturizer after washing your face is an important step to prevent dry skin. Choose light but deep moisturizers that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin to keep your skin moist all day.
If you are not sure about the product, you can consult a dermatologist to choose a cream that is suitable for your skin type.
Caring for lips and skin around the eyes
The skin around the eyes and lips is very delicate and can easily dry or cracked when you fast. Use eye cream and lip balm to protect these areas. Avoid products containing strong chemicals, as they can cause irritation and make skin more sensitive.
Apply a moisturizing mask
Moisturizing masks help lock in moisture and restore skin after a long day. You can choose a mask with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramide, aloe vera, honey and coconut oil to keep your skin soft, moist and supple.
Proper skin care combined with a reasonable vegetarian diet will help you maintain healthy, smooth and bright skin.
