Day 5: Be active for younger looking skin
By Amy Wechsler, MD
Get Moving for Better Skin, Better Sleep
Do at least 30 minutes of physical activity today, and schedule some time for a few more active half hours over the next few days. Whether it's taking a class at your gym, going for a power walk with friends, taking a bike ride, or playing Frisbee in the park -- there are lots of options for doing your body good. Choose something you enjoy.
There's no point in being miserable.
Try one of these free workout videos -- there's something for everyone.
And get this: Exercise during the day helps you fall asleep at night and improves the quality of your beauty sleep. Just another one of the health benefits of physical activity.
Remember to eat well, go green, relax, and simplify.
Treat Yourself to Something Special
You've hit the halfway mark to better skin! Block out an hour today or tomorrow -- 1 full hour -- to do anything you'd like. Veg in front of the TV; go shopping for new makeup at a department store where you can get some TLC (check out Dr. Amy's Most-Worth-It Beauty Splurges); get a manicure and pedicure or the massage you still haven't had yet. Just make sure it’s fun and relaxing. This is quality you time.
