An inevitable part of being in the glamorous world of Bollywood is numerous events, brand endorsements, social work and movies; which directly infers lots and lots of make-up and hair dos. This makes it imperative to give both your skin and hair a breather, and go for a detox.

Healthline.com lists sugar and refined carbs in its list of top 7 foods that can cause acne. Refined carbs absorb in the bloodstream quite quickly, and result in rapid increase in blood sugar levels. High blood sugar results in an increase in insulin levels, and this can be a cause of acne.
Refraining from naming any specific beauty product, Jacqueline continues to keep it basic and writes that Vitamin C is the best thing to use for a glowing skin.
