1. Always moisturise the skin in and out. Apply lotion that suits your skin type morning and night , and drink lots of water to keep your skin hydrated. 2. Get enough sleep and try not to sleep on your face. 3. Always remove your make up before you sleep at night. 4. Reduce your salt intake and salty snacks. 5. Apply baby powder to your skin and leave it for 10 minutes before you shave to avoid bumps. 6. Eat fruits daily for radiant skin. 7. Exfoliate your skin regularly about once in 2 weeks. Please note that over exfoliating can damage the skin layer. 8. Don’t work out with your make up on so as not clog your pores. 9. Reduce your intake of processed sugar. 10.
