Hi dear.
Your BMI has come out to be 17.9kg/m2 whereas the normal range is 18-22.9. So definitely you're slightly underweight.
Regarding your concern for skin, follow these basic tips.
- Drink lots of water
- Atleast 300gms of fruit daily (vary the fruit everyday)
- If you take eggs, dont skip the yolk
- Cut back on breads, biscuits, cookies, rusk, maida etc.
Rest you can book an online appointment through practo for detailed customised counselling.
