<p><strong>Avoid Oily Street Food:</strong> We understand it is difficult to tame your cravings in this nippy weather, but bingeing on pakodas and samosa every day may make your skin saggy and deprive it of its sheen. You should ideally monitor your street food intake during monsoon, as the food sitting outside is at a greater chance of getting contaminated. It is a good idea to keep a safe distance from oily and fried food for the sake of your skin too.</p>

<p><strong>Stay Hydrated: </strong>Skin cells are mainly constituted by water, if they are dehydrated your skin looks parched and dry. To make sure your skin looks plump and radiant at all times, keep sipping into your glass from time to time. If the plain taste of water bores you, you can keep yourself hydrated by drinking fresh home-made juice, green tea and soups too.</p>

<p><strong>Avoid Sugar: </strong>Try to cut back on sugar too. When you eat sugar, the rush of glucose triggers a process called glycation. In this process, the sugar molecules bind in such a way that they make your skin age faster and look wrinkly with time.</p><p><strong>NOTE: Asianet News humbly requests everyone to wear masks, sanitize, maintain social distancing and get vaccinated as soon as eligible.
