According to experts, the production of structural proteins, collagen (keeps skin firm) and elastin (gives skin flexibility), decreases as early as at the age of 25. Hence though you are quite young in your 20's, it's never too early to nurture and pamper your skin. Here are few simple tips for a healthy skin.
1. Exfoliate

For everyone who has been subjected to high-school biology, the whole process of skin cell replication might be familiar. Yes, your skin cells dry and rot and it is really necessary to wash them off so that new, healthier skin cells can take their place and light up your face. Your 20’s skin is going the one to stay and decide your future. So pile up those fruit scrubs and face washes in your shopping trolleys and cowboy up.
2. Sunscreen

Yes, you wash and lighten them up, but you do have to maintain them don’t you? Mr. Sun is not like he was a decade ago. With the ozone holes and all, those UV rays are going to hit to like a rocket. So it's high time to stockpile those SPF and start using them while going out and even while staying inside. And don’t risk it even then, cover up the maximum when you are going outside, what if the bottle you’d taken was just milk?
3. Diet and Exercise

This is the most expense-less regime. It is important to eat right and act right. It is healthy to take up a detox diet once in a while. Even if not, don’t forget your fruits and vegetables in your daily diet. And workout is equally important. So tie those running shoes and get going.
4. Sleep

Zzz….Your beauty definitely needs your beauty sleep. Your skin needs time to rejuvenate and rest. And be sure to remove your makeup before you to go to sleep. You don’t need to scare your family next morning apart from destroying your skin’s rejuvenation process. So try and get at least 6-8 hours of sleep every day.
5. Water

Don’t drink up the calories from those sodas (yes, even diet ones) drink water instead. 8 glasses of water per day will not only help your body shrink, bit also helps in getting your skin glow. It is one of the easiest and efficient detoxes you can ever get. And if you can soak in some sliced cucumbers and lemon, perfect!!
