  • Lower your carb intake, and avoid inflammatory drinks such as packaged juices, sweetened tea, and carbonated drinks. Also, avoid any foods you may be allergic to. 
  • Keeping your skin hydrated by drinking enough water can also do wonders for the overall quality of your skin. 
  • Always wash your makeup before sleeping. Never go to bed with makeup on.
  • Spend time on a proper skin care regimen.
  • Avoid intake of too much caffeine (tea, coffee, and chocolate), cheese, and spicy food.
