     Sleep sufficiently each night, to keep your skin radiant and healthy. During sleep, our bodies produce high levels of human growth hormone, which repairs tissue cells, and collagen, which keeps skin moisturized, states WebMD. Sleep deprivation will cause dry, dull skin, in addition to dark circles and puffy eyes.

     Exfoliate your skin using a gentle facial scrub. Exfoliating removes the layer of dead skin cells on your face, revealing a new healthier and brighter layer, according to the Health Guidance website. Exfoliating will also help create an even skin tone and unclog pores from oils and impurities.

     Wear sunscreen when outdoors and avoid suntanning. When tanning, you expose your skin to ultraviolet radiation, which can damage skin significantly. Excessive UV radiation exposure will cause premature skin aging, resulting in wrinkles, sagging skin and age spots, states the American Academy of Dermatology. Sun exposure also robs your skin of moisture, resulting in a dull complexion. To create a healthy sun-kissed look without damaging your skin, use a self-tanning moisturizer.

For oily skin, use a noncomedogenic moisturizer, these are lighter and water-based. People with sensitive skin should use fragrance-free moisturizers with soothing ingredients such as aloe. To avoid premature aging caused by sun exposure, use an moisturizer with an SPF of at least 15.
