HEALTHY SKIN CARE HABITS » My Tips for Clear and Glowing Skin

This video is one of the most requested topics on the channel. And I finally did it! Today I share my skin care routine and my tips for healthy skin. I share the skin care habits I formed in my 20s, that are beginning to pay off now that I'm in my 30s.

I believe healthy skin and glowing skin come from the inside out. If we want to know how to get clear skin, how to clear acne, or simple anti aging tips, I think we need to start looking at our lifestyle. The best thing about it is, the things that make us feel good, also help to make us look good. It's a win-win. :)

These skincare tips are things I've been doing for a while, and in my case they have helped me to have a fresh skin most of the time. But of course, there's no real thing as flawless skin. We all have our issues, at least some of the time. So I don't believe in striving for perfect skin. Let's try to do our best to take good care of our skin, and to accept and honor it the way it is.

Lots of love,
🌼 Vera

🍃 Thanks to everyone who requested this video!

Dear Vera, I want to let you know that you truly helped me change my life for the better.
I was in deep depression for 9 years and couldn't see the way out. Then I started looking into mindfulness and simplifying my life.
Slowly, I learned about all kind of self care tips, and how it is okay to only think about "which kind of tea" I would have next!
I'm more productive now, content and enjoying every moment!
Thank you for your beautiful wallpapers as well! 🕊

Now onto watching your new video!

For so many years people made the comment how white my skin was as if I were sick or not normal. So glad I now embrace who I am. I'm 69 years old.

[TamarasTimelessBeauty]

Yes!! 60 yr old subbie here...thank you for another great video! young people are so lucky to have so much health related science and info available now...I’m from the baby oil and iodine generation. Luckily I never enjoyed sunbathing...and got on sunscreens and green smoothies before my skin was too far gone. I Love your channel! ❤️❤️❤️

[melodieknowsit]

I'm 23 and I literally thought you were 3 years older than me or so...Vera you're an inspiration in all aspects.

[lilivan]

Vera, i do appreciate your honesty so much. Thank you, please always stay like this, the world needs more people like you

[jawbreaker]

I'm 25 yo and I've always struggled with breakouts. I agree so much on your point of helping skin from within, that's what really changes the game for me. Expensive skincare products never did much for me, no matter how many active ingredients they contain. Some even worsened my skin. Only things that really work are eating a balanced diet, reducing milk products (as much as I love them), applying sunscreen regularly and drinking lots of water. I used to think I drank enough, but when I started monitoring my water intake and actively working for reaching 2 liters a day I really saw a difference. My skin is doing a lot better since I changed my diet (I'm not vegan nor vegetarian but I eat a lot more vegetables, legumes and fruit than I did before) and started drinking more, it's much more glowy and smooth than it used to be and I get less redness and breakouts overall.

What I loved about your video is that you didn't try to promote products and you made it clear that you already have good skin but certain habits have helped you maintain that and you're sharing those habits ♥️

I thoroughly agree on your points
mentioned Vera. Also feel that
all these expensive skin and make
up products have no miraculous
cure whatsoever. Have always
just washed my skin with a natural
mild shower gel. Just use a natural
bio body cream for everything.
Plus keeping my face right of
strong sun exposure. Am 68,
my skin is very good, when I
look at some women's skin, the
ones that are sun worshippers,
their skin looks like a piece of
old leather. Am also in the process
of becoming vegan, but it will be
hard for me to give up cheese.
Take vitamin B12 tablets daily.
Buy them in Konstanz very close
to Zurich. My health feels so much
better. Drink lots of water and eat
Bio organically grown fruit and
vegetables. This was a great video
Vera. Thanks and enjoy your
Sunday.

Tip that helped me drink more water: decorate a cute large high quality water bottle. My 40oz stays cold all day since it is double walled vacuum sealed, but I refill it by mid afternoon. (At least 64oz is how much my primary doctor told me to drink. )

My husband and I are in our early 30s and follow all the tips you've mentioned. I used moisturizers and sunscreen daily since I was 18. In our late 20s, we also reduced our processed food intake and became vegan. I pass for early 20s and he passes for a teenager (yes I am needlessly jealous).

Love your videos! Thank you for your service.

[fra]

I love how you managed to give us tips which were easy and positive. No super costly products and no drama about our skin. Thanks :D

[dianneporter]

You have beautiful skin and I believe in all of your tips. I grew up in an era where having a sun tan was important. I wish I knew back then about the damage the sun can cause. I now use sunscreen every day, better late than never I guess. My downfall is I don't drink enough water despite my intention every day to drink more but I rarely get thirsty and so keep forgetting to hydrate. I do exercise regularly, so I guess that's something. 👍

[graysthenewblonde]

You are so right in taking care of the inside to help your skin look is the best drink! And eating healthier really is important for your skin as well....balance is definitely the key!

[heidiv]

Thank you, Vera, for sending so much positivity into the world. I come away from every video of yours better than before I watched it. Your work is helpful, positive, balanced, and healthy for mind, body, and spirit. I appreciate you.

[DazzleDust]

Hi Vera. I used to cake my face in primer, foundation and powder. I used to regularly get big spots on my chin which led to scarring as I am a picker. Lockdown meant I stopped using all of these products and I no longer have breakouts. I rarely drink, hydrate myself, don't smoke and am vegan, so I believe these things all help a good complexion. I do, however, have some pigmentation on my cheek. I am not overly fussed when I consider that some people live with terrible disfigurement and other conditions that really affect their lives. I am not going to bother about that spot of pigment, as long as I'm healthy. You always look glowing and your positivity shines through in your face. Thanks for these great tips. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. x

[vivianlui]

my fave skincare tips/advice:

spf everyday
be gentle& consistent
99% ingredients should not irritate/burn skin

[heyyitskj]

You look like a late teenager/early 20's!!

You look so youthful 💕💕

[AR-muzq]

These are all true! I do the same things and I am 34 and get told I look like im in my early 20s. Excersise, good food, sunscreen, good products.

[sunnysideup]

Hi Vera . Absolutely agree with you about being beautiful from inside out. Having said that all the tips you mentioned were great. I especially loved that you did not endorse any expensive products or beauty treatments and suggested the use of local products, which is so so important as it encourages ethical and low impact, sustainable living. Loved your video. Have a joyful weekend. 👌🏻💐🌼
