How the Danes Stay Young-Looking and Gorgeous at Any Age

Living in Denmark, I can’t help but notice the gorgeous skin that seemingly all of the Danish women possess—and keep their skin so incredibly young-looking as they age. Danes are known for having some of the best skin in the world! So why do Danish people have such great skin? What are they doing that we aren’t? Read on to learn 4 secrets of how the Danes stay young-looking and gorgeous at any age!

Hygge

The Danish word hygge is often translated to coziness, but it’s about so much more than that. Hygge is about creating a warm, inviting atmosphere—both physically and emotionally. And it’s about taking pleasure in simple things, like good food, good company, and a crackling fire. The Danish way of life is all about hygge, and it’s one of the reasons why they have such gorgeous skin.
The key to hygge is in feeling connected to others. It’s about building strong relationships, which increases happiness levels overall, making you more likely to care for your skin. The Danish don’t just have great skin because they stay out of harsh weather—they have great skin because they live their lives with a sense of community and togetherness. They’re not just living for themselves; they’re living for each other. And that makes all the difference in world.

Soothing treatments

The Danish are big believers in taking care of their skin, and they have a whole host of soothing treatments to choose from. One popular option is hygge, which involves taking a warm bath with candles and soft music. This treatment is said to relax the mind and body, which can do wonders for the skin. Another popular choice is kærestebad, or love baths. These are taken with a partner and involve sitting in a tub filled with milk and roses.

Locally sourced ingredients

The Danish diet is rich in locally sourced ingredients like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seafood, and dairy. This bounty of fresh, healthy foods helps keep Dane’s skin looking clear and radiant. Plus, the Nordic climate provides plenty of opportunity to get outside and enjoy some vitamin D-rich sunshine.
Incorporating fresh, local produce into your diet is one of the best ways to keep your skin clear. Fruits, vegetables, seafood, grains, legumes and dairy are all easy ways to get more of these essential vitamins and minerals in your diet.

Increase circulation
One of the things that the Danes do to keep their skin looking so good is they increase circulation. This helps to bring oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, which in turn makes them healthier. To increase circulation, the Danes often use dry brushing, take cold showers, and exercise regularly.
Dry brushing is when you use a natural bristle brush to gently rub your skin while it’s dry. The bristles have just enough texture that they help get rid of any dead skin or dirt without irritating or scratching. When you do it correctly, it should not cause pain, but instead just increase circulation in your skin.
