Exercise on the Regular
Blood flow is important for healthy, glowing, soft skin, and a good workout is the best way to get your blood pumping. According to a 2014 study out of McMaster University in Ontario, exercise can even make your skin younger. Participants who were over 40 and did regular cardiovascular activity had skin that looked more like a 20- or 30-year-old. Their sedentary counterparts' skin was noticeably older looking and -- we're guessing -- less soft.

Eat a "Moisturizing" Diet
You can literally moisturize your skin from the inside out by upping your daily intake of omega fatty acids. Garcia suggests eating wild salmon, walnuts, flaxseeds and dark leafy greens. These healthy fats improve the health of your skin cells' cell membranes, which, in turn, improves their ability to hold onto water.
