If you try our tips below, you cant fail to improve the texture of your skin.

Water If youve heard that drinking gallons of water on a daily basis will make your skin look good, youd be wise to sit up and take notice. The water helps to purify your liver, and a purer liver will reward you directly by making your skin clearer.

You should aim to drink 2 litres a day. Not easy, but definitely worth it because if you can turn it into a habit, youll have skin like velvet. Try having a glass of water before every cup of coffee, or glass of wine.

In the long run, youll benefit from reduced calories (and maybe less wine. Sorry!). You may even find that when youre hungry, drinking that very cold glass of water may even suppress the temptation for a chocolate fix! Ok, Maybe weve gone a little too far

Diet

Salads, fruit, vegetables, fish.

Youve probably read it all before, so we wont bore you with the detail. Eat as little and as often as you can, and keep stodgy stuff to a minimum. Omega 3 supplements can help and they are widely available from chemists and all good health food shops.

Keep it simple, its essential to know how to read your skin, and everyones is different. If your daily grooming regime isnt working, mix it up. Dont just use a scattergun approach by trying more products. Get back to basics and give the following suggestions a try:

Cleanse

Dry, combination, oily skin? Use a wipe off cleanser. Why? Because too much washing and scrubbing actually dries out the skin.

Exfoliate

Yes, of course. But you only really need to do it once a week. Again, read your skin. If it reacts or gets red and sore, somethings wrong. Break your habit and try once a week.

Moisturize

Want your skin to age faster? Then forget to moisturize. And just to accelerate the aging process a little more, use a sunbed, or go out in the sun without any SPF protection. As moisturisers are the first line of defence in any regime, its essential to choose a good quality product and use it every day.

Apply

If youve ever been to a good skincare therapist youll probably notice how they apply the treatments to your face. Gentle pressure point massaging helps by sending freshly oxygenated blood to the skins cells. It also helps to reduce puffiness, by releasing fluid. Using a good quality cream, gently massage and stretch the skin from the centre of your brow.

Moving down your face, repeat this movement in sections. Repeat a couple of times moving outward and upward on each section. When complete, gently drum your fingertips along your face. Feels relaxing huh?

If all of this sounds easy, thats because it is. Treat your body well by giving it the right fuel and protection, then sit back and reap the rewards.

Now go and have a glass or two of water!
