    Scoring flawless, youthful-looking skin isn’t an easy feat, particularly if you have some naughty habits.

    So, to help you get your glow on and achieve #complexionperfection, try these tips and tricks…

    GUZZLE GUZZLE

    If drinking plenty of water every day isn’t high on your list of priorities, it needs to be – starting now! Get guzzling, girl. Drinking at least two litres of water daily is essential for hydrating both your insides and complexion. Not keen on plain old H2O? Mix it up by adding a squeeze of lemon or lime to an ice-cold glass of sparkling mineral water, or try adding some berries to a chilled bottle of water for a refreshing twist.

    GRAZE ON HEALTHY GOODIES

    Remember that pizza you picked up on your way home from the bar the other night? And that fried chicken you had for dinner yesterday? Well, chances are the side-effects of these stodgy foods are now popping up on your complexion in the form of whiteheads, excess oil or dark circles. What you feed your insides shows on the outside, so nourish your bod with nutrient- and antioxidant-rich foods like tomatoes, blueberries, salmon and avocado. Hello, glow!

    NAIL A FLAWLESS FINISH

    When it comes to perfecting your complexion, we’re all for shortcuts and letting natural beauty shine through – the quicker, the better, we say! So skip the moisturiser and foundation, and opt for the multi-tasking Garnier Miracle Skin Cream. This skin-perfecting cream is formulated to instantly adjust to your skin tone for a smooth, even and luminous complexion. Ideal for all skin tones and types, this product helps to correct the signs of ageing, including wrinkles, dark spots and a lack of firmness, radiance and hydration. The results? A flawless finish and younger-looking skim. Oh, and it contains SPF15 for added protection from the sun’s rays. Team it with the Garnier Miracle Skin Cream Eye to target those fine lines and dark circles.

    CLEAN BEFORE YOU DREAM

    Do you tend to slip into bed wearing BB cream or – god forbid – a full face of make-up? We’re all guilty of it, but it has to stop! While you snooze, that leftover make-up is slowly making its way deep into your pores, causing blackheads, pimples and even infections. Stock up on a quality make-up remover, and stash some make-up wipes in your vanity for nights when you can’t be bothered washing your mug properly. Your skin will thank you for it!

    NIX NASTY HABITS

    Can’t resist popping out for a mid-afternoon puff? Or going overboard with the booze every weekend? Smoking and drinking regularly doesn’t only affect your health, but it can also cause your skin to age prematurely. To keep wrinkles, dark circles and uneven skin tone at bay, ditch the ciggies and booze (or at the very least, cut down) – stat!

    How do you keep your skin looking flawless? Will you be trying any of these tricks?

    I am making a big effort to remove my makeup when I get home. I have been terrible in the past.

    Water and sleep to me are the most important to my skin. You actually see instant results when you sleep more.

    Linda_Vesinger 27 Apr 2015 9:20 AM

    Agree re plenty of water being essential for great skin and taking off makeup every night

    So true!

    I am loving the new Garnier Miracle Skin Cream, thanks to the sample BH sent out to me. I really need to cut back on alcohol.lol

    Good tips that one might know but a reminder to implement never hurts. The Garnier Miracle Cream and Eye Cream are such staples on the weekends or for the school run.

    Some very healthful ideas. I do find drinking plain water harder in colder weather but I think I make up for it with soups!

    bmill229 27 Apr 2015 3:44 AM

    Great tips, I never sleep with make-up on.

    Rose_P 27 Apr 2015 2:27 AM

    I never ever go to bed without washing my face. I've always taken good care of my skin.

    Miss19 27 Apr 2015 1:44 AM

    I find that eating well and taking supplements helps a lot with my skin.

    talk-a-lot 27 Apr 2015 1:37 AM

    Excellent ideas for keeping skin clear and healthy.

    If I don't wash off my makeup, I will wake up sporadically throughout the night. So I know better to just cleanse it all off before going to bed. On the rare occasion that I do fall asleep, I will wake up and wash my face like an hour or so later. Its like my body just knows something it not right.

    Hayley644 26 Apr 2015 10:04 PM

    Some good tips. I try to drink plenty of water and eat a healthy diet and I don't drink or smoke.

    CherryBlossom 26 Apr 2015 9:45 PM

    Great tips and these aren't that hard to follow and this helps in the long run.

    Jlgaddes 26 Apr 2015 8:58 PM

    I am a devotee of Garnier Miracle skin cream

    Misy Rose 26 Apr 2015 8:38 PM

    This is really the minimum anyone should be doing.

    Lucrecia629 26 Apr 2015 7:33 PM

    I'm a skincare devotee so I know it's all about finding the right products for your skin, then applying them religiously. And yes - diet and water!

    ray_jay 26 Apr 2015 3:56 PM

    This is pretty basic information that most people should know

    I don't make a habit of going to bed in makeup, but as a migraine sufferer, sometimes I just can't help it. I don't like makeup wipes, I prefer a proper cleanse, but I might grab some for my bedside.
