Skin is the largest organ that we have in our body and it protects us from the invading microorganisms and maintains our body temperature.
The beautiful skin in turn is made by a healthy body that functions properly by digesting the food, transporting the nutrients to the entire body and eliminating the waste. Hence healthy body and healthy skin will co-exist.
Tips to Have Perfect Skin

You must take a diet rich with vegetables and fruits. This is because fruits and vegetables contain lots of vitamins and minerals that our skin needs. Vitamin B rich foods like eggs, bananas, rice, oatmeal etc adds beauty to our hair, nails and skin. Vitamin C rich foods like citrus, leafy greens, grape juice etc will protect our skins from sun exposure, skin cancer etc. vitamin A rich vegetables will help us to repair our skin.
Vitamin E protects us from sun exposure and vitamin K rich meats, dairy products and green vegetables removes the bruises and dark circles around the eye. Drink a lot of water which will help you to keep the moisture on the skin.
Skin Cleaning
We must wash our face at least twice a day with a gentle cleanser and tepid water. Avoid the use of hot water as it may cause inflammation on the skin.
Tone the Skin
Once we rinse our skin with cleanser then we have to tone out skin with a gentle toner. This will help us to remove the traces of cleanser on the skin and at the same time maintains the pH balance of our skin and thus prevent the over or under secretion of oil.
Ex-foliate the skin
It is necessary that we have to ex-foliate our skin once in a week and his will help us to get rid of the dead skin and thus helps the skin to absorb the treatments applies to it.
Steaming
Boil chamomile in water and use the steam obtained from the boiling water for steaming our face. We have to steam our face at least once in a week and this will help us to clean out skin deeply. Take care to avoid squeezing the pimples and blemishes.

Moisturize the Skin
After cleaning and toning our skin we have to moisturize our skin with a good quality moisturizer. Apply the moisturizer on the skin and message it till it gets absorbed in to the skin. Before going out in to the sun we have to apply moisturizer having 30 spf as it will protect our skin from the harsh sun.
Try to eat at home as much as possible. When you go out to eat or stop at a fast food restaurant on your way to and from work or during your lunch break, you will pay extra money for the convenience of someone else preparing the food.
