4  Go for glycolic acid

For the last 3 decades, dermatologists have recommended use of glycolic skin products such as glycolic lotions. Glycolic acid is an active compound extracted from sugar cane. It has health benefits to your skin if used in the right concentrations. Such benefits include:
·         Dissolves dead skin cells, helping clear blocked skin pores and blackheads

5 Visit a colorist
Your colorist will help you get the right product to help treat your skin. Whether makeup or lotions, your colorist will help you know how often you can apply them at the right proportion and percentage. Colorists are found in salons and have all equipment and chemicals that can help your skin look healthy and young. They will help scrub, tone, moisturize and exfoliate your skin before adding makeup or lotions on it.

6 Use Anti-aging products
 Use of anti-aging products such as lotions and algae can help remove dark spots, acne spots, blackheads, stretch marks and bacteria making your skin look young and healthy. Anti-aging products such as Retin-A can help cleanse your skin pores, remove fine lines, reduce acne, and boost collagen growth that helps improve your skin tone and texture.

7 Cleansing
Cleansing your skin properly and routinely can help get rid of dirt that settles on your skin during the day. You should consider using soaps with no deodorants and harsh chemicals such as sodium carbonate which can make your skin dry.

8  Exercise
Exercise can help you burn calories, boost metabolism, and also improve blood circulation. All these body processes contribute to the health of your skin. Exercise can encourage blood circulation in the skin which will help your skin get the right nourishment. Sweating during exercise can help flush out toxins collected on your skin. As if that is not enough, exercise make your body release feel-good hormones such as endorphins that make you look good, happy, and healthy.

9 Get enough sleep
Getting enough and quality sleep can be good for your skin. This is a very powerful treatment for your skin you can get for free. Getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night gives your hair and skin enough nutrients, leaving it young and healthy. Develop a habit of going to sleep early and avoid watching TV and using the internet before sleep.

10 Avoid Stress

Stress is very harmful to your skin as stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline prevent beneficial nutrients from reaching your skin. This leaves your skin looking dulland exhausted. Try to avoid stress as much as possible to have glowing skin.

Image
Sucrose or table sugar is a disaccharide that is made up of two simple sugars linked together by glycosidic bonds. The two simple sugars are glucose and fructose. Maltose is also another disaccharide made up of two glucose molecules. Human beings cannot absorb sucrose or maltose directly from the small intestines to the blood stream. Therefore, two enzyme known as Sucrase and Isomaltase are needed to cleave sucrose and maltose into glucose and fructose which are simple sugars (monosaccharide) that can be absorbed from the digestive track to the blood stream. If there is absence or low levels of sucrose and isomaltase, then a person is unable to break down sucrose or starch. What is GSID? Genetic Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency (GSID) is a rare genetic disorder that affects one’s ability to digest sucroseor maltose due to low levels or absence of two digestive enzymes, Isomaltase and Sucrase.
