Do: Drink water
Hydration is key. You’ll want to ensure you take at least eight glasses of water in a day. Whereas this may sound like the water needed is a lot, such an amount is essential for flushing out any toxins you may have in your body, which ultimately helps you glow more.
Do: Eat more healthier foods like fruits and vegetables
Healthy foods include fruits, vegetables and nuts among others. Serving a variety of fruits, the vitamins they contain will brighten up your skin, while vegetables do the same. This lifestyle should be adopted to progress continuously as it works well only if done consistently.
Do: Have an exercise routine
Sweating it out is a practical step to improving your beautiful skin. Not only does it open pores as the sweat and toxins get off, but also makes your skin breathe. It goes hand in hand with the diet. Go to the gym, run, take a hike or walk regularly.
Do: Prioritize ample sleep

Dark circles from lack of sleep? No amount of creams will cover that for long enough. You’ll have to go back to the basics and spare some time to rest. Sleeping reboots your system and is able to relax it further. You’re likely to have a good skin glow and less dark circles below your eyes when you prioritize sleeping.
Do: Apply sunscreen
To keep wrinkles at bay, or charring of your skin, ensure you walk out with sunscreen applied on your skin, especially your face. Choosing one that’s of SPF 15 will go a long way in protecting your skin.
Don’t: Smoke or take excess alcohol
Smoking and indulging in excessive alcohol consumption leads to your skin drying up. In time, the natural glow will go away and it may be harder to reverse such. Be sure to go low on consuming these.
Don’t: Eat fatty and fried foods
Eating processed, fatty and fried foods is an enemy to good skin. Your skin is able to show how you eat quite well. It is possible to notice from the break outs you’re likely to get if these are your constant diet. Move to healthier foods for better results.

Don’t: Sleep with make up on
Make up blocks your pores. Sleeping without removing the heavy layers of makeup will make your skin fail to breathe as it should. To remove makeup, use a cotton dab soaked in some coconut oil or almond oil, and wipe it off easily using the dab. Cleanse and moisturize it before bed time.
Don’t: Pop pimples
Popping pimples can be quite tempting but you should avoid it at all costs. Use some tea tree oil or vitamin E and spread it on your pimples. It clears them and kills the bacteria around, making your skin look and feel beautiful.
