1: Hydration! 

Making sure your skin is hydrated correctly is easier than it seems. Banishing dry patches and combination skin may take some time, but make sure you are building healthy skin habits now will reward you in the future. 

Drink enough water, and regularly each day is a great place to start as is using the correct type of skincare products on the market for your skin type. Use moisture bomb creams, hydrating moisturizers, and face masks regularly to encourage naturally hydrated skin and benefit you in years to come. Regular facial treatments may also benefit you.

2: It's all in the diet.

You are what you eat after all, so what does your diet say about you? A diet high in saturated fats, processed foods, and salt will have a dehydrating effect on your skin as will a high alcohol consumption. Alcohol has an adverse impact on your skin and your health as a whole, so cutting down and drinking more water will be highly beneficial.

Add in more fruits and vegetables along with foods rich in fatty oils such as salmon and mackerel along with foods such as avocados, sweet potatoes, and red peppers. Remember, it takes six weeks for new skin to come to the surface, so don't be expecting overnight results. Healthy skin takes time, you need to be in it for the long haul and be confident any changes you make are realistic, and you can stick to them no problem.

3: Sleep

A good night's sleep can work wonders on your skin. Not only will you look and feel refreshed, but getting enough sleep allows your body to repair and regenerate. Making sure you get a good quality of sleep as often as possible will not only boost your energy levels but help your skin to improve itself and stay looking healthy, fresh, and youthful.

Adopting better sleeping habits such as a set bedtime and wake up time, removing electronics from the room and putting a bedtime routine in place can help you to find that sweet spot to get a more restful night's sleep that not only makes your skin look and feel good but your whole body too.
