Inflammation can either save you or break you, it can go both ways. In the former, inflammation helps the human body to fight against any infection or injury. Contrarily, repeated inflammation can even take you towards obesity and related health conditions. Conditions can even aggravate by certain eating habits, stressful conditions, and a sedentary lifestyle. However, small changes in eating habits and lifestyle can sometimes make a huge impact to help reduce inflammation in the body and skin.

What Is Inflammation?

Inflammation is one of the body’s defense mechanisms. It is a way to fight against any infection, disease, or injury. During this process, your body’s guard cells will increase exponentially such as white blood cells, platelets, and cytokines.

Inflammation can be acute or chronic depending on the situation. Acute inflammation also called short-term inflammation can be expressed as pain, redness, heat, or swelling in that particular body part. If it is a chronic or long-term inflammation it shows way more visible symptoms like weight gain. Chronic inflammation can even take you to serious conditions like cardiovascular, liver diseases, and even cancer.

How Skin Inflammation links to Body Inflammation?

Irritated or injured skin is more likely to develop inflammation than healthy skin. A lot of things can lead to inflammation including excessive sun exposure, harsh scrubbing, or using strong skin products. The inflammation visible on your skin is deeply connected to chronic inflammation. And ignoring the small signs can lead to worse health conditions.

According to the latest studies, cytokines have been found to play a major role in the inflammation scenario. Cytokines are small proteins, which are released and flow in the whole body through the interstitial fluid. Also referred to as the “Eleventh Organ” of the body—interstitial fluid is responsible for transporting nutrients to and removing waste from every cell of your body. But one important thing is that excessive production of cytokines can also contribute to developing chronic diseases.

Simple Skin Care and lifestyle Solutions to Reduce Inflammation

By making small lifestyle changes you can keep yourself away and even reverse inflammation. If you already have a family history of heart or liver diseases, then consulting your doctor will be your first step towards a healthier life.

Another important thing to remember is that your skincare routine must be completed focused on skin health without getting distracted by big brands and the latest trends. By simply protecting and maintaining your skin’s natural barrier with moisturizing face oil or cream, you can reduce the risks of inflammation and consequent diseases. You should always go for nature-derived products that will support the skin’s own dynamic, to repair and rejuvenate your skin in the best possible way.
