To have beautiful skin you need to have a healthy lifestyle.  Having a healthy lifestyle determines your energy level, daily attitude and how your skin looks, behaves and ages.  You can avoid pitfalls by taking good care of yourself.  

According to the Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual, good skincare habits start with drinking water, exercising, getting enough rest, protecting your skin from the sun, not smoking and limiting your intake of caffeine and alcohol (24).  What we put in our bodies are a direct influence on our overall health.  Now I am not a doctor, but this is not brain surgery either.  Taking care of yourself matters!
