1. Drink.
Drinking enough water each day can provide a wealth of benefits for your body – and one added bonus is the beautiful skin benefit of staying hydrated.
What our experts say: “Drinking plenty of water helps plump skin from within for a healthy-looking glow.”
2. Sleep.
It's called beauty sleep for a reason. Your body needs sleep to perform at its peak and recover from the day, and your skin is no different.
What our experts say: “Getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night can help your skin ‘recharge’ from the day.”
3. Protect.
A bright sunny day may give you warm fuzzies, but before you run outside (or even run errands in the car), be sure to protect your skin.
What our experts say: “The most important defense against the signs of premature aging is the daily use of sunscreen.”
4. Clean.

Keep Stress In Check.
Finding just a few minutes each day to relax can help your mood, your mind and your skin! Hang out with friends, take a few deep breaths or sing as loud as you can -- whatever it takes to re-center yourself squarely in your happy place.
Get a move on.
Exercise isn't just about your waistline - it's really about total wellness. And for your skin, exercise means oxygen, blood circulation and pore-clearing sweat. Just don't forget to wash that sweat away post-workout!
