Drink Water
Eating right also means drinking enough water. Water hydrates the skin, making it look smoother, younger and stronger. Therefore, drink sufficient water every day and engage in physical activities that help maintain a healthy body weight after your facelift.

Smoking is not good for your skin because cigarettes contain nicotine, which can cause skin dryness and increases the rate of aging.
