With daily care and treatments nailed, what you need to monitor next is your eating habits. For without the right nutrients, your skin cannot undo the damage that it sustains on a daily basis.
Here we tell you what you should eat. In other words, a healthy diet for your skin is necessary!
The right quantities of all the ingredients need to be consumed for the skin to be healthy and for the fairness to reflect.

• Eat fruits with Vitamin C for the antioxidants they contain.
• Balance your diet to get the right amount of proteins and unsaturated fats along with fresh, green vegetables to provide the right portions of nutrients for your skin to naturally care for itself.

8. Sun protection and care:

With all these attended to; there is still one thing you need to keep firmly in mind! Do not step out into the sun without protection!

• Always apply a sunscreen before stepping out into the sun.
• An SPF of at least 30 or more depending on your skin type is necessary.
• UV rays darken and damage your skin! So, make sure you reapply your sunscreen every four or five hours.

These are of course not fail-proof! But if you have already spent too much time in the sun, you first need to lose the tan and burns. Try these remedial measures to address the issues.
