• Pay attention to your diet: Feed your skin a choice of appropriate foods to keep it looking radiant, clear and healthy. Rich in natural antioxidants, cooked leafy greens, plenty of fresh seasonal vegetables and lots of sweet juicy fruits are excellent for the skin. They also help protect your skin from damage by toxins, reactive oxygen-based chemicals widely linked to disease and aging. Have plenty of water throughout the day, but don't not during meals.

A -massage can be had either before your morning bath or shower, or an hour or two before bedtime. Besides other things, it aids blood circulation, helps the body flush out toxins, and tones the skin, keeping it looking fresh, soft, smooth and glowing.

• Doing this twice a day will keep your skin clean, healthy and radiant. Again, as far as possible, use natural products that don't strip the natural moisture balance from your skin. Consider adding a daily herbal supplement to help your skin from within.
• Discover natural skin care aids: Try blending your own aroma massage oils, or preparing your own facial mix or a fragrant sachet of herbs and spices to scent your bathwater with. Try out different floral water sprays on your skin. They help tone it up and the subtle aroma will last longer. Again, always go in for natural products, and test to ensure that your skin is not sensitive to a particular type of product.
Pay a little attention to your skin, and see the difference it makes to your whole life.
