Dreaming of having pristine and dewy-soft skin? Or are you one of the
precious few who have it and are fretting about how to keep it that way?
Tired of reading about sunscreen and toning and seaweed face packs?
Well, we have nothing against those solutions, but we’re tired of them
too. Hence, this back-to-the-basics list of 7 easy solutions for a great
complexion.
1. Drink water:
Yes you’ve heard it before, but this
works and is as easy as…drinking water. Eight to ten glasses will wash
out the toxins from your system, cleaning up your body and face!
2. Keep your face clean:
This is an old one but
we all know that old is gold. If you have oily skin, wash your face in
cool water as often as you can and pat dry. This will prevent clogged
pores and blackheads.
3. Keep hair away:
Hair carries dust, oil and
sometimes dandruff. None of these things contribute to a glowingly clear
face. So tie your hair back so that it is not in constant contact with
the sides of your face or your forehead.
4. Facials and clean-ups only once every 2 months:
Do not fall into the trap of frequent beauty treatments. Steaming and
applying packs etc on your face too often will tire and disturb the
natural balance of your skin.
5. Moisturize at night:
It’s protection during the
day and prevention at night. Your skin repairs itself while you sleep.
So a light night cream, after removing all make-up will gently assist
your skin’s rejuvenation process.
6. Home beauty treatments:
You don’t have to trust your face to the care of the experts every
time. Your refrigerator and green grocer has some amazing skin care
products. Some cold milk dabbed on with cotton will instantly refresh
and re-hydrate. A slice of chilled tomato rubbed over your face thrice a
week will lighten dark spots and kindle the glow. A face scrub of sugar
and olive oil will polish away dead skin and oil wells.
7. Sleep:
The easiest of all beauty treatments is
also among the most effective. Heard the term ‘beauty sleep’? Well it’s
not grandmotherly lore. The prescribed 7-8 hours of sound sleep will
prevent wrinkled skin, dull and puffy eyes and dark circles. That’s a
big contribution towards a more beautiful you.
STAY FIT N HEALTHY !!!
