Pay attention to how much pure water you are drinking. Coffee, tea, sugary drinks and even freshly squeezed juices do not replace normal water. You need to drink at least 1. 5 liters a day. The amount depends on the body weight.
Try not to overeat: get up from the table if you still feel a little hungry. This is especially true for dinner.
Get enough sleep. The skin is renewed during sleep, the more we sleep, the more beautiful we become. Before going to sleep, try to think only about the good, dream and in no case delve into unsolved problems. Peace and quiet should be your faithful companions before going to bed. Remember that very soon, regular lack of sleep manifests itself in a decrease in skin tone on the face and all over the body.
