These tips are all you need to get you well on your way to a healthy and more radiant complexion.
The more you care for our skin; the better you are going to look. And that alone will give you a new lease of life. Making time for a cleansing facial is important, but more so it is of the utmost importance to maintain this caring act at home. Your skin needs twice daily nurturing to keep it clean, moist and protected and it only takes ten minutes a day. So cleansing, toning & Moisturizing should be a part of your daily skin care regime.
Regular monthly cleansing for your face always helps. A weekly home exfoliation will uncover fresh new layers of skin. Papaya, curds with a few drops of Lemon, tomatoes, and strawberries that contain natural enzymes that dissolve dead skin cells, unclogging all pores and removing dirt accumulated keeping your skin clean to breathe. This will give your skin a healthy glow.
Avoid the sun as the damage done by ultraviolet rays is long lasting and cannot be reversed. Use a sun block with minimum 15 to maximum 25 SPF. Using sunscreens you provide enough moisture to your skin at the same time.
Extreme swings in weight loss. Dieting can affect the skin. All weight loss programs are low in fats and oils and the skin needs oils to remain soft and supple. Eat a balanced diet – what we put in our bodies will show on our skin. If you eat fatty foods and junk your skin will reflect that, so give your skin proper nutrition.
Get at least 7 to 8 hours sleep every night. A lack of sleep will show up under your eyes as dark circles or bags. Proper rest will also benefit your body and your life.
Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day to keep your skin hydrated. Avoid diuretic drinks such as coffee, tea, and cranberry juice, spinach as they lead to moisture loss.
Maintain a regular exercise schedule. Exercise gets the blood moving and creates a healthy body.
Exercise in fresh air but avoid prolonged exposure to wind and cold.
Try to achieve a well-balanced life and reduce stress
When choosing your cleanser toner and moisturizer look for products that go with your skin type:
Avoid over manipulation. This refers to heavy scrubbing, facial massages which can cause rash and over stretching of the skin.
Once you have achieved your basic skin care regime, your skin will be like a clean canvas. So start your twice-daily skin care regime and, when you just don’t feel like it, remember just 10 minutes a day keeps those winkles away. |

Trying to scrub away acne. "Acne is not a hygiene problem; it's a hormonal issue," excessively cleaning your face won't get rid of acne. Instead of attempting to scrub your pimple-prone skin into submission, wash it gently with a foaming face wash that's designed to lift off dirt without irritating skin. And if you do feel compelled to enlist a scrub, use it no more than once a week, choosing a product that has even-sized, round beads, not rough particles."Rough grains can irritate the skin to the point where it starts to overproduce oil," Putting on sunscreen once and assuming you're protected. "The big mistake women make is trusting the sunscreen label that reads 'all day protection, The truth is that no sunscreen lasts more than four hours; you're kidding yourself if you think you can put it on once and forget about it." Regular sunscreen use is even more important |

If your skin is sensitive, simplifying your skin care routine will yield the best results. Overloading your face with harsh, abrasive products will only result in more redness and irritation.

One of the most common skin care mistakes people make is over-washing their skin. If your skin is sensitive, washing your face more than two times per day will do more harm than good. It’s also a good idea to limit your time in the bath or shower to less than 15 minutes. Use warm water to cleanse your face and body; hot water is too drying |

Last but no the least.
Smile…your face tends to conform to the position or expression that you carry most of the time. If you often frown or scowl, your skin is more likely to develop lines or wrinkles between the eyes, down-turning lines at the corners of the mouth, or other lines or furrows that conform to the frowning facial expression. A smiling, pleasant, relaxed expression is good for your face and will help keep you looking younger. |
