– Skin cells require water to function properly. According to research, a blemish is more likely to develop when your system has more toxins. By drinking more water it helps to eliminate the toxins from the body and provide healthy skin.
– Exercise boosts blood circulation and promotes sweating, which helps the body to push impurities out of the pores. Physical activity helps in reducing stress levels, which in turn aids the prevention of blemishes.
– Reduce the intake or strictly avoid the oily, fried, sour, salty foods, as it aggravates the pitta dosha and results in the formation of toxins in the body which make the symptoms severe and worse.
– Wash your hands once you wake up before touching the face and do not sleep without washing your face.
– The less you sleep the higher your cortisol level will be. Poor sleep causes dehydration, the appearance of your skin with dark circles and puffy eyes. Get adequate sleep to manage the symptoms of blemishes.
