What is your skin care regime?
I keep my skin care regimen as natural as possible. I wash my face four times a day. I use an exfoliating cleanser made of besan, turmeric and sandalwood. I drink lots of water and avoid oily food.

When washing your face, always use cold water. Hot water opens your pores which isn’t good. Use fewer products on the skin with minimal chemicals.
