Tips to get gorgeous from the best in the beauty industry.

March 8is International Women's Day.

A woman is a giver who puts her wishes after everyone else's. This can at times result in her overlooking the tiny dark spot on her cheek or the slight emergence of a frown line on her temple. Not being on her priority list, these things often go unnoticed until it's too late. So this Women's Day, take a pledge to take care of yourself by being beautiful not just internally but also on the outside. These expert tips will help you take the plunge.

Dr Jaishree Sharad (Celebrity Cosmetic Dermatologist and VP of the Cosmetic Dermatology Society of India)

• Feed your skin with a moisturiser and sunblock every day.
• Avoid smoking and alcohol.
• Gorge on brightly coloured fruits and vegetables as they are rich in antioxidants.
• Pamper yourself with a skin treatment once a month.
• Most importantly, be proud of who you are, love yourself and be confident in your own skin, for you are unique and beautiful.

Danielle Collins (Leading Face Yoga Expert)

• Take out time every day to breathe deeply, cook healthy food and do face yoga.
• Think positively as when you feel good on the inside, you will radiate beauty on the outside.

Beyond the twenties, genes don't always play a role in the way one looks. It is really the care that one takes of themselves that plays a huge role in how one looks in their forties and fifties. Here are some tips you can follow:

• Always use a sunscreen of SPF 30 or more
• Use skincare products as per your skin type. If in doubt, consult a dermatologist
• Exfoliate at least once a week but avoid if you have very sensitive skin or active acne
• Get your beauty sleep of 8 hours a day
• Eat your 5 portions of fruit and veggies per day
• Eat a diet that is high in antioxidants
• Work out 4 times a week
• Prratise yoga and meditation to combat stress
