Give up smoking - cigarette smoke contains substances which prevent the body absorbing valuable vitamin C. This results in damage to the collagen fibres, which are responsible for the skin's elasticity

Take time out to relax – the emotional stability you gain in the process will have a great effect on your skin

Sleep in - the cell distribution and skin renewal processes are swifter when you’re asleep. What’s more, if you feel better, then it follows that you'll look better!

Drink plenty of water – this has a purifying effect and gives you a rosy complexion

Ensure you eat a balanced diet – avoid eating too much sugar and wheat bread. Fresh fruit and vegetables, wholemeal bread, rice, fish and poultry are an integral part of a balanced diet.

Take regular exercise - this stimulates the circulation and you will be left with radiant, glowing skin! Sweat produced in the process cleanses the pores.
