It is thereby imperative that as we age, our diets should contain a minimum of processed foods and maximum of foods that have high level of antioxidants such as vegetables and fresh fruits.

5. Beauty sleep – Nothing works better than a sound sleep of 8 hours everyday. A good sleep gives an opportunity to the body and skin to revive itself of all the stress you have undergone throughout the day and helps you avert circles and bags below your eyes.
