  • 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.

Diet & Lifestyle advise Head lice:

  • To prevent head lice, avoid bumping heads or any head-to-head activities. Do not share towels and brushes.
  • Do not share any personal items or bedding that have come into contact with the affected person.
  • Avoid holding hands with the affected person.
