Abstract

The desire to look beautiful and youthful is complete only with a healthy you from within! Skin health is influenced by environmental and lifestyle-related factors like nutrition, exercise, personal habits, and stress. A healthy lifestyle can postpone the visible signs of skin aging and favorably influence the longevity of the skin. The ‘beauty attributes’ including radiance, glow, softness, suppleness, and youthfulness are achievable if and only our skin is healthy and well-nourished. How much our skin is well-nourished depends upon the health of our gut.
