Sport
Sports and active lifestyle is the secret of Gary Goldfaden, MD, a dermatologist who based in Miami. Basically, exercise helps the flow of blood throughout the body, and distributes nutrients to the skin.

Relax

Avoid Cigarettes
Of course we all know, smoking is not good for the body so anything on the skin. Cigarettes also disrupt the flow of oxygen to the skin, the result, fine lines on the face will be more profound and beautiful skin does not glow. Suggested Paul M. Friedman, MD, of Houston, avoids smoking.

Sitting Location
Maybe hearing cried sitting near the window while riding in an airplane, but, Dr. Brandt reminded, when flying, and sitting near the window, our skin is exposed to UV exposure is greater than usual. So, it would be better to choose a seat away from the window.

Hold Yourself
Hold yourself to not scratch the face or the face with a fingernail scraping, as this can cause irritation and scars, advice from  Heidi Waldorf, of New York. Here are the points prone to scratching on the face when sweating the numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 12.

Sleep Enough
Every night, we need a good night’s sleep to optimize the secretion of growth hormone, which promotes changes in body cells and collagen production. So, make sure you sleep enough each night, at least before 11 o’clock at night, Dr. Brandt says.

Sunlight has a very bad effect for the skin, therefore, Kathy Fields, from San Francisco recommends avoiding direct sunlight, especially between of 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Food
Salt and sugar will stick to the collagen which can damage more quickly. We recommend that you choose healthy foods that are rich in fiber, Dr. Goldfaden says.
