Exfoliating can help you get rid off dead cells from your skin. Buy products containing AHA’s (Alpha Hydroxy Acids), it helps in reviving the complexion by removing dead skin cells.

Avoid food containing excessive amount of sugar or other refined carbohydrates. Fill your plate with foods that are high in omega-3, protein and vitamin C.

Sunscreen is a great way to keep your skin healthy and prevents age spots and discoloration. Use sunscreen that has broad spectrum, at least SPF 30 and is water resistant.
