A few tips to mantain that glowing complexion.

• Control acidity, which in turn aggravates most problems, by having small frequent meals
  
  
• Never skip breakfast. If in a hurry, at least eat a banana& have a glass of milk - both natural antacids and energy powerhouses
  
  
• Make sure you are not constipated. Drink plenty of water (6-8 glasses per day) which also helps in flushing out toxins
  
  
• Avoid "maida" foods which most teenagers thrive on - pizzas, pastas, burgers, chinese food, pastries etc. Avoid excessive sugar intake. Very oily & spicy food all the time can aggravate certain problems
  
  
• Keep the skin clean. Hygiene becomes very important at this age. Wash off the oiliness by using a good face wash or certain soaps recommended for oily skin
  
  
• Use a "Multani Mitti" pack twice a week and a scrub once a week
  
  
• Dandruff is usually a common problem for the younger generation. Wash your hair often and at least once a week with a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole & zinc pyrithione. Dandruff can also aggravate the acne on the forehead and back. So beware!
  
  
• Use a sunscreen which is oil free through the day and avoid unnecessary exposure to sunlight
  
  Be happy, positive in your attitude, scrupulously clean, and try to live a steady, normal life with a lifestyle which you can be proud of. The result will be a glowing, radiant skin free of blemishes and problems.
