Skin is an indicator of general health of the person.Keeping a general good health is essential for glowing skin. You should- Maintain sleeping and wake up timings. Get atleast 6-8 hours sleep a day. Drink 5-6 litres of water a day. Take lot of vitamin C in diet. Take lots of lemons ,oranges,mango,banana,papaya berries like strawberry /blueberry in diet.They are rich source of vitamin C.
