Eat a balanced diet, which includes lots of fruits and vegetables. There is no evidence that any particular food worsens spots or acne, but a healthy diet can improve the overall appearance and condition of the skin.
- Have a bath or shower and use a deodorant or antiperspirant daily.
- Wash your hair as often as necessary. Shampooing every day will not harm the hair or make the scalp oilier. Many shampoos and conditioners are designed for frequent use.
- Do regular exercise, which can improve circulation and the condition of the skin.
- Before beginning you skin care regime, consider your skin type, is it oily, normal, combination, dry, sensitive, or sun-damaged. After knowing your skin type, you can use products available in the market meant for your skin.
- Create a skin care regime and make sure you do each step twice a day. I recommend a cleanser, toner and moisturizer. If you have oily or combination skin, stick with a gel based or foaming cleanser. Those of you with normal or dry skin will do best with a cream based cleanser.
