Clear, glass-like skin is something all girls want but it can be so difficult to achieve! Enlarged pores, the occasional zits and uneven skin texture are some problems that we have from time to time. Your lifestyle habits may be a factor to your skin problems!

Follow these six essential habits for better skin!

#1 Always apply sunblock

It has been highlighted time and again but sunblock is an essential step in your skincare routine, especially in sunny Singapore! The UV rays are extremely harmful to the skin and prolonged exposure can lead to skin cancer. Get a sunblock or foundation with at least SPF 50 to protect your skin adequately.

#2 Avoid sugary and oily food

We all know sugary and oily food is bad for the skin but you will need to make a conscious effort to reduce your sugar and oil intake! Opt for less sugar and less oil and over time, you will find that your skin will have less breakouts and flare-ups.

#3 Eat your veggies and fruits!

The age-old advice lasted for a reason! Eat your vegetables and fruits for essential vitamins and nutrients that will let you glow from inside out. Vitamin C aids with skin barrier repair and vitamin E has anti-aging properties - find out what nutrients and vitamins your skin needs and eat the veggies and fruits rich in these nutrients!

#4 Drink more water

Another age-old adage that you should follow! Having your daily 2 litres of water is essential for body functions and hydration. Where else would you get your glowing, hydrated skin? Being dehydrated makes your skin more susceptible to wrinkles, dark eye circles and enlarged pores - leading to a whole new lot of skin problems - so drink your water!

#5 Get enough sleep

#6 Don't touch your face

Our hands are actually very dirty with lots of bacteria on it and can cause breakouts if you touch your face with your bare hands regularly. If you have a habit of touching your face regularly without washing your hands, it's time to change your habit!
