What is considered healthy and unhealthy skin? Well, in most cases it is visible. Acne, pimples, blackheads and whiteheads are the most obvious for unhealthy skin. Rough, dry, flaky, dull, blotchy is also considered bad skin. Unhealthy skin does not have a uniform texture, it has lackluster and uneven skin tone and discolorations. Healthy skin is radiant and has a glow, It is soft and hydrated. 

Then there are sunspots, damaged skin suffered from the sun causing pigmentation, discoloration and leathery skin. Basically, staying in the sun too long with no protection. The sun also helps deplete collagen from the skin. Sunspots on the skin don't just appear on your face. It can occur on your chest and neck and on your hands and arms. The more you go outside without sunscreen on, the more likely you are to aggravate the problem.

Other reasons for unhealthy skin

1.  DEHYDRATION – Have you been trying to quench your dry skin with thick, heavy lotions? Dehydrated skin actually stems from internal dehydration.  The best way to hydrate your skin is drink more water. 

 2.  LACK OF EXERCISE – Not only do you get a better body when you workout, you get better skin too.  The right amount of exercise every day helps stimulate proper blood flow, giving your skin a healthy glow.  

3.  SMOKING – Smoking is a big factor in causing unhealthy skin.  It literally sucks the moisture right out of your skin.  In addition it depletes your body of vitamin C and accelerates the rate at which your skin’s collagen is broken down.  

4. NOT CLEANSING PROPERLY

5. NOT EXFOLIATING
