Healthy tips on how you can find your inner lustre and glow from the inside out.
Warmer weather and changes in season can often inspire change for the better, encouraging you to take stock of your habits and adjust your routine. Audrey has 7 simple ways to transform your lifestyle and help you glow in spring.
1. Drink water
The first rule of creating and maintaining a healthy glow is drinking lots of water. For ideal hydration, we need to drink between 2.1 to 2.6 litres per day. How much each individual needs to stay hydrated depends on their weight, body type, metabolism, diet, and the weather. Keep water handy in environmentally friendly reusable bottles and if you like a little flavour, you can infuse your water with fruits like berries, limes and lemons.
2. Bask in sunlight
Spending healthy time in sunlight is wonderful for boosting your happiness. Remember to check the UV Index each day for the ideal time for your Vitamin D dose. Any time the UV rating is above a 3, you should use skin protection and limit your exposure.
3. A green glow
Spring is the season of growth and greenery – what better way to inspire personal growth and change than to bring the outdoors into your home? Visit your local nursery; if you’re a green-thumb beginner, they’ll be able to advise which are great starter plants and which are suitable for your particular home.
4. Healthy movement
Exercise is key to revitalising your energy, but you don’t need to spend hours in the gym. Taking a walk or practising yoga are both mindful ways to boost your circulation, promoting healthy skin as well as developing your inner glow.
5. What’s growing?
Now’s the time to look at what fresh fruits and vegetables are coming into season and how you can incorporate them into your diet to boost your healthy glow. Your local farmers market is a great starting point and you have the added bonus of shopping locally and reducing your carbon footprint.
6. Spring cleaning
It’s called spring cleaning for a reason – a sunny warm day is perfect for throwing open your doors and windows, letting the light and fresh air in as you de-clutter your house and your mind, allowing your inner glow to shine through.
7. Healthy hydration
Choose a moisturiser that suits your skin type and routine. From RMS Raw Coconut Cream (great for dry skin types) to Omorovicza Illuminating Moisturiser (perfect for combination skin), there’s something perfect out there to help give you a healthy, natural glow.
