Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and follow a healthy & balanced diet
Our diet influences our health, how we feel and how we look. Just as our internal systems are affected by what we put inside our bodies so too is our only external organ, our skin. The skin needs a precise and complete supply of nutrients to regenerate, repair and defend itself. In effect we are what we eat. |

Exercise
Increased heart rate causes a more dynamic circulation and increase oxygenation of the skin and the supply of nutrients.The result is a healthier and more radiant skin. |

Layer your skin with an SPF30 Physical Sun Block daily
Even if you are going outside to get the newspapers or sitting in the shade. Heat is as stimulating as direct sunrays thereby aggravating hyper-pigmentation. Remember 90% of wrinkling of the skin is due to the sun damage! |

The first step to any skin care programme is clean skin
As a whole most individuals under cleanse and most women over moisturize. If the skin is not thoroughly cleansed, bacteria may be present which prevents moisturizers from absorbing into the skin which causes the skin to look dull and lose luster. |

Exfoliation and nourishment
These are another two important steps in improving and maintaining healthy skin. Exfoliation 2-3 times a week helps to slough off dead skin cells, stimulate the circulation and prepare the skin for optimum absorption of a nourishing cream which should be applied morning and night. |
