Happiness, a Healthy Recipe for the Skin

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Do happy people have better skin? Are people with great skin usually happier? It's like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg?

We do know that a happy life could have a positive effect on our physical features since having little stress would make us look less older. Happiness could really be the key to clear skin, and frowning causes facial lines and wrinkles.

Did you know that you only need 17 muscles smile, versus the 43 muscles needed to frown? To make matters worse frowning causes facial lines and wrinkles, making you look old and tired.

Flashing a smile does not take much effort. Aside from being gracious and friendly you are actually spreading good cheer.

The positive vibe resonates even among strangers. In a room full of people, notice how you are easily drawn to the one who flashes a beautiful smile. Having a light and cheerful outlook easily spells happiness. It is an unexpected treat especially when one is having a stressful day.

Starting the day with an infectious smile, is like opening the door to more good tidings. You feel light, happy and beautiful. There will always be days when our patience will be tried and tested. But we can always choose to lighten the load by looking at the bright side, or taking a deep breath to and allow the entry of positive vibes.

Happy feeling is caused by the release of neurotransmitters like endorphins, dopamine and serotonin.

Every time we receive good news or we feel excited the brain releases these happy hormones into the nervous system bringing out infectious giggles and laughter. This simply means that happiness can be found around the corner. We don’t have to wait for good news or thrilling events to happen. With a little bit of freedom and creativity, we are capable of experiencing happiness.


Goal Fulfillment

When you feel good about accomplishing your desired task for the day, or your boss compliments your excellent performance that wonderful feeling is known as a dopamine hit. You can achieve that vibe, by setting realistic goals or by simply finding ways to love your work.


Regular Exercise

Seratonin is a natural anti-depressant. You release a healthy amount of serotonin when you exercise regularly. A 10-minute brisk walk, or 30-minute hip hop exercise can do wonders to your mood.


Healthy Skin

Maintaining a happy disposition also brings out a youthful glow. Positive emotions promote skin renewal because it keeps the hormones in check. Notice how pimples immediately show up when you are sad and stressed out. Aside from negative emotions, other factors that can cause pimples include poor diet, genetics and exposure to dirt and pollution.

Due to uncontrollable elements like excessive heat from the sun or smoke from passing smoke belching vehicles, or even the spicy foods we eat could contribute to a sudden outburst of skin imperfections especially if we fail to wash our face immediately. Even the soap we used could aggravate the skin situation causing allergies or unflattering acne.

Using a healthy skin-care regimen like Proactiv helps clear the skin with acne and blemishes and helps people to be stress-free.

Achieving healthy skin could get easier as one, two, three steps. Address skin problem areas like pimples, blemishes and breakouts with the Proactiv+ 3-Step Clear Skin System. It uses the Smart Target technology to deliver anti-acne formulation directly to the pores.
