Skincare Tips: For Glowing Skin, Take Care Of These 'Non-Negotiable' Essentials, Says Nutritionist Pooja Makhija

Who doesn't want glowing skin, right? However, pollution, unhealthy lifestyle, odd sleeping hours, lack of proper sleep, stress and so many other factors cause damage to your skin and deteriorate its quality, making it look dull and dry. Glowing skin is also seen as a sign of health and vitality, writes celebrity nutritionist Pooja Makhija, in her latest Instagram post. What she also draws our attention to is the fact that good skin is not a simple result of a superfood, ointment or treatment. Your skin speaks the language of love and care that you show towards it.

Here's what you should know about taking care of your skin

"Your skin is the largest organ that you have, so you want to take care of it," Makhija wrote and posted a video, explaining the steps we could take for healthy and glowing skin. She began by talking about the importance of laying a strong foundation first. She calls them "non-negotiable essentials that include a balanced diet, good sleep, water, and good exercise. Once you have set a "strong foundation", the next level involves taking care of what she describes as "minor ailments". These include gas, acidity, constipation lethargy and body aches and pains. 

Once we have conquered the minor ones, next, we focus on major illnesses such as hypertension and cardiac diseases, blood pressure, diabetes, and even cancer. And once you have taken care of the underlined ailments and issues that determine the health of your skin, your face and body also react in a positive way, which contributes to making your skin glow more and look better.
