The nationwide lockdown has limited our movement outside; a great number of people are working from home to avoid the chance of contracting infection. While a lot of us are missing the old routine, we can always take solace from the fact that by staying indoors and practicing social distancing, we can beat Corona Virus faster, and we would soon be out and about. It is also a good time to re-valuate a few things. Remember how your diet, health and skin took a backseat amid the hustle-bustle of daily travel and work. Well it is a good time to avoid not only the traffic but also the pollution and give your skin the much needed care and attention. Including fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet may do wonders for your skin. Seasonal fruits are packed with antioxidants that could help give you a radiant and young skin.
