Getting enough sleep is important, for example, because this is the time when skin works especially hard at repairing itself. Lack of it leaves skin looking dull. If you’re suffering from insomnia, the chances are that stress is a significant factor. Whereas happiness makes skin glow, stress makes skin show the worst side of its nature. Spots, pimples, eczema, blotchiness and flakiness: these are just
some of the stress symptoms you may see in your skin. Luckily, one of the best ways of reducing stress is also very beneficial to skin: getting more exercise. Both aerobic exercise such as tennis, dancing, and jogging, and anaerobic exercise like stretching and yoga, are highly beneficial, because they improve circulation. And it is blood that brings the vitamins and
nutrients necessary for cell metabolism to the skin. For your general well-being, it is always best to mix the two types of exercise. If you are not eating healthily, it certainly becomes evident swiftly in your skin, which loses its glow and shine. The problem can be as simple as a lack of vitamin C, which plays a vital role in collagen formation and cell repair.

A diet rich in unsaturated fats such as olive oil rather than butter, unprocessed fiber, raw fruit and vegetables and low-fat protein such as fish and chicken will provide everything your skin needs.lf you can out caffeine, smoking and alcohol, so much the better.
Do not forget to drink as much water as you can each day: six glasses at least. it helps every organ in your body function better, aiding digestion, circulation and even excretion of toxins through the skin's pores
