Beautiful, glowing skin is a reflection of leading a healthy lifestyle. But factors like stress and hectic work schedules can make your skin look dull and dry. All of these are part and parcel of your life, and no matter how much you’d like to avoid them in order to maintain that glowing skin, you simply can’t run away from them.
