Yes, it's true, you can exercise to relieve stress. Your body produces endorphins when you exercise, endorphins can help you feel relaxed and at ease and produce an overall feeling of well being, even euphoria. This is what is referred to as the 'runners high'. This chemical is actually similar in structure to morphine. 

And never forget, healthy skin starts on the inside, not the outside. Make sure you properly fuel your body with a wide selection of healthy fruits and vegetables. If your body is getting all the nutrients it needs it will be better able to keep all your systems 'in check' and that includes your skin. 

While it might seem odd to some people, even people with dark skin need to use sunscreen everyday. Sun is the number one factor in sun damage and premature aging of your skin. This is true no matter what color you are. You should never go outside in the sun without wearing sunscreen. If you are going to be out in the sun for an extended period of time you should also wear a hat and other protective clothing. 

Keeping your body healthy doesn't just extend to choosing the right foods to eat, either. It also has to do with what you drink. Making sure you stay hydrated is another simple, yet very important, way for you to keep your skin clear. Most experts recommend you drink around 8 glasses of water every day to maintain proper hydration.
