The first tip for healthy skin is to eat a good, well-balanced diet. Make sure your diet is rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins. Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits and don’t forget to drink water. Water is essential to the health of your skin. The more water you drink the better (at least 6-8 glasses per day).

Next, make sure you cleanse your face daily, preferably at the end of the day or at night before bed. By this time, your face needs some good cleansing to get rid of all the dirt and dust that has accumulated inside your pores throughout the day. Night time is when your skin gets to rejuvenate itself, so cleansing before bed is critical to a healthy skin regime. Follow with a good quality natural moisturiser.

Also, it is important to exfoliate at least twice a week. This aids with skin renewal and improves your skin’s elasticity. Elasticity is what makes our skin appear younger, and as we get older we lose elasticity and that youthful ability of our skin to ‘bounce back’ from any damage that may occur.

Finally, a good exercise programme such as aerobics can activate and rejuvenate the skin and improve circulation and blood flow. Also, body sweat triggers production of sebum, which is the skin’s own natural moisturiser.
