Drinking plenty of water throughout the day will rid your body of the toxins, provide ample hydration, will make a difference not only to your skin, but also to your overall health. Use a tall glass or mug to drink a larger quantity at once. You can also slice some lemon or add lemongrass or lavender to your water to make it not only tastier but also more beneficial.

Tip: If you don’t like eating fruits, you can always add some yogurt and make interesting smoothies for yourself.

Once you start following this practice, you will see a marked improvement in your facial skin. Changing your sheets regularly will ensure that the dust, bacteria and oils from your skin don’t accumulate and cause skin infections and acne. Also, who doesn’t like getting into bed when there clean and crisp sheets waiting for you?
7. Always wash your face at night: If you can only wash your face once a day, make sure that it is at night. Remove every trace of makeup (ideally with an oil-based cleanser—keep makeup wipes for when you’re on the go or really tired) and give your face a thorough cleanse. You may or may not wash your face every morning. Your skin produces essential oils while you sleep at night, so just a quick rinse with water in the morning will do the trick to keep your skin feeling nice, but if you have acne-prone skin, you might want to do what works best for your skin type.
8. Wear Sunscreen at all Times: Wear sunscreen every single day of the year. Summer or winter, rainy or cloudy, indoors or outdoors, your sunscreen will protect your skin from not only the harmful UV rays of the sun but also from harsh indoor lighting and other environmental factors that cause skin damage and premature skin ageing. So, always wear your sunscreen! Here’s a list of “10 Best Fragrance Free Sunscreens in India” if you are looking for one without fragrance.
