- Before you apply any make up in the morning, apply a thin layer of moisturizer and rub it in. This will help your skin retain more moisture throughout the day.
- The skin area around the eyes is extremely thin and delicate. Use natural products for this area and apply it with a light touch.

- If you smoke, stop smoking. Inhaling secondary smoke is just as harmful for your skin so avoid the company of smokers.
- Drink 8 or more glasses of water each day to keep your skin hydrated, soft and supple.
