Added after 1 hours 23 minutes:

i am using a zener diode.jus wanted to know is there any other way other than zener.

A low dropout regulator (LDO). Which one depends on the current you require. Have a look here:

maybe a buck conventer is better than a ldo

Depends on how you define 'better'. Lower power dissipation but more expensive, more complicated and electrically noisier.

I think LDO would be best
