Here's the deal. No matter how many beauty products we apply to our skin and hair, nothing beats the purifying effect of leading a healthy lifestyle that brings forth changes in your body from the inside, allowing you to achieve that highly sought after glow from within.

So here are our top tips on how to reshape your lifestyle to get you on your way to achieving that healthy glow you've always wanted. Summer is just around the corner; so it's time to #MakeItHappen, Clozetters!

Tip #1: Exercise

When you want to push your body to renew from inside, nothing works better than a good round of exercise that keeps your blood pumping. Whether you're into running, or tennis, or something a bit calmer like yoga or pilates, a good workout not only keeps your body trim and fit but also gives you great skin. The increase in blood flow that comes with any workout nourishes your skin with extra nutrients and oxygen, while sweating aids in cleansing your body of toxins. Keep up a good exercise regimen for a month and you'll start to see a difference in your skin.

For a truly healthy glow, you need to eat healthy food that will recharge your body while keeping your waistline trim and lean. Reduce your intake of processed food and carbohydrates while upping your intake of lean proteins, vegetables, and fruits. But with any diet, cheat-days are a must. We all love and need a good burger or a slice of pizza once in a while. At the end of the day, it's really all about moderation, to find that balance of keeping your mind and body happy with the food you eat.

There is nothing wrong with perfecting and enhancing your healthy glow with beauty products. To achieve that yes-I-am-always-summer-ready type of glow, opt for a lightweight sheer foundation that will give your complexion a dewy finish. Then, dust a light bronzer around the areas that the sun naturally hits. Finish off the look with warm, pink lips for a touch of colour.

A lot of us take our hair for granted, so this one from Clozette TV is a must-watch. Save yourself the messy long-hair trouble by taking advantage of these useful tips. You can manage your long hair by using smoothing gel, regularly getting a trim, and keeping it properly tied.

Stress, bad diet, and not using the right products are just some of the many causes of skin damage. However, we'd like to think that the worst of all is the everyday combination of pollution and harmful UV rays because it's something you cannot control. How else can you escape smog, car emissions, and haze if it's everywhere? The only way to avoid pollution is to prevent it from penetrating the skin. Thanks to Origins, we can now save ourselves from that disaster.

Say goodbye to dull skin, dark spots, dehydration, increased fine lines, heightened sensitivity, and breakouts with Origins' extensive line of pollution defence products. The need for these products is at its peak now more than ever as pollution causes oxidative stress, damages collagen, and can trigger inflammation that could lead to hyper-pigmentation.

So here are the products from Origins we recommend that will detox, strengthen, and protect your skin!

Detox

Detoxing is an effective way of flushing out toxins in the body and it also works best for pollution-exposed skin. Thoroughly cleanse the skin and follow it up with a pore purifying mask to remove the impurities. Use a gentle cleanser like Checks and Balances to detox the skin and balance its sebum combination. Follow it up with Clear Improvement Purifying Mask. It will absorb toxins from the environment embedded in the skin while the bamboo charcoal in the formula will soak in impurities.
