When 30 calls, here is a list of ‘Do’s’ ....

- Increase vitamin C, E and A, they are beneficial in reducing sun damage to skin and are rich in antioxidants saving you from a potential heart attack. Play with all colour vegetables and fruits. They are a treasure trove for the need.
- Use a sun block of SPF 30 at least. Give it 15 minutes to become effective before you step out into the sun. Carry an umbrella if need be. It’s better to be safe than to be bothered about looking hideous. These petite precautions during the day will help you looks stunning during the night.
- Moisturise your skin as it gets older. Use day and night creams and hydrating gels. Consult your dermatologist for your skin type. Do not allow your skin to feel dry.
- Your meal and its time also play a big role in keeping you looking and feeling young. Functions of digestion, absorption and utilization of nutrients are visible in healthy looking skin. So, respect your body clock and abode by set meal timings.
- Drinking plenty of water (minimum of 1.5 L/day) will flush out toxins. Do this without fail. (This does not include soups, coffees, teas and sodas).
- Eyes are very sensitive and therefore they are the first place to get wrinkles. 7 to 8 hours of undisturbed sleep is essential.
- Exercise helps you sweat. Sweating flushes out dead cells and waste materials. It releases blocked pores in the skin that cause acne and pimples. Hence, exercising to sweat is out is a good bet. Find at least 30 minutes, 5 times a week, to exercise.
- Keep alcohol consumption to a bare minimum of once a week, while the cigarette at a barge poll’s distance.

Taking care of yourself is an effort but the effort will feel worth it when someone mistakes your age to be 5 years younger than what you actually are.
