The skin is one of the greatest indicator of good or bad health. A glowing, smooth skin is one of the first things that is noticed in an attractive, well groomed person.

Tips for Healthy Skin

• Diet is also of vital importance and no skin can be healthy without proper nutrition.
• Try to avoid too much of carbohydrates, sugar, fried and greasy foods, cakes and alcohol which can cause blemishes and blotchiness on the skin's surface.
• Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.

• Vitamin B is recommended by many dieticians to clear the skin of spots and as an aid to healthy hair.
• Vitamin C is necessary to purify and vitalize the blood stream.
• Vitamin E makes the skin appear more youthful.
• The skin also produces Vitamin D through the action of sunlight upon it.
• Drinking sufficient water (at least eight glasses a day) improves the complexion. But do not drink in between meals.
