2. Focus on a Collagen-Rich Diet

What does this mean exactly? Well, collagen is a protein that gives skin its structure and stretch. As we age, we produce less collagen in our skin every year.

Collagen supplements can help you ensure that you are getting a sufficient amount to maintain a youthful glow. 

Vita Trading Co. Collagen Peptides are a favorite!

Foods that will boost collagen: Bone broth, egg whites, citrus fruits, berries, leafy greens, and cashews.

7. Do NOT Touch your Face

You might not even notice that you're doing it! But start paying attention because touching your face can spread bacteria and cause breakouts.

Tip: Make it a challenge. Each time you touch your face, take a big drink of water.

8. Exfoliate Every Now & Then

"We lose 50 million skin cells a day, and without a little extra nudge, they may hang around leaving the skin looking sullen," says Dr. Gohara.

Tip: To avoid your skin drying out, use a product that is PH balanced. Also do not over do it. Exfoliate only 2 to 3 times a week.
