Get previous dates in sequence

Question

I have date that I get from Date Time Picker for example

string date1 = dateTimePicker1.Value.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");

It gives me 2017-12-23

Now I need previous date to save in date2 variable

string date2 = "code for this"; // it should be 2017-12-22

Please help.
