Wear sunscreen, eat well and get sufficient sleep to keep your skin looking young.
Kiran Lohia, medical director of Lumiere Dermatology, shares a few healthy tips for skin:
* Eat healthy meals with lots of fruits and vegetables to help prevent oxidative damage. And, don’t forget to eat enough protein so your skin can create collagen and elastin.
* Sleep at least seven to eight hours a night so your skin has enough time to rejuvenate and heal itself.
* Exercise daily and avoid alcohol, cigarettes or drugs. Daily exercise has been proven to help keep your skin younger, while avoiding toxins will help preserve its natural youth.
* The sun’s rays cause skin ageing, so protecting from them is essential. Wear sunscreen of at least SPF 30++ so that you are protected from both UVA and UVB rays. Reapply it after every four hours.
