If your skin is not getting enough water, it will dry out and a dry skin is more prone to wrinkles.

Solution? Drink a glass of water first thing in the morning, and drink lots of water the whole day. In other words, drink plenty of water everyday.

2. Eat Fruits and Vegetables :

There is a saying that "you are what you eat" and it is a very important line to remember in your quest to achieve your skin goals.

Adding fruits and Vegetables to your daily meals is one of the most effective ways of getting clearer skin.

Ever wonder why brides are advised to sleep early on the eve of their weddings so they can look more beautiful?

Yes, you guess is as good mine.

4. Excercising :

Excercising will make you sweat and sweating removes toxins that would rejuvenate your skin.

Excercising enhances increased blood circulation and carries blood to feed the skin with nutrients and oxygens that would in turn make the skin glow.

5. Do not expose yourself to Sun all the time, always wear Sunglasses and baseball hats (face cap) to prevent the sun from hitting directly on your face.

6. Always take your bath every morning and in the night before you go to bed,this will keep the skin fresh.

7. Use a clean towel after bathing, always wash your towel after 4 days of using it.

It is better to have a different towel for your face and another one for your body.

When you follow these steps, be rest assured that you do not need to buy the most expensive creams just so you can get a flawless skin.
