Skin Care Basics
Ever wondered what it takes for all those beautiful women in Hollywood to look so pretty, well they really attend upon their skin. And is it not the dream of every woman to look just breathtaking. So here in this article, we will be looking into some aspects that would help us have a good, shiny, soft skin.
Firstly there are a lot of habits that need to be looked into and corrected if we are on the wrong side. Getting eight hours of sleep is a must, else you end up with dark circles, eye bags. So sleep is a must, let your skin along with your body relax too. Then comes your food habits, well drink lots of water, it helps in washing away toxins, cleanses the system, and has a real good glow on the skin. Taking in of nutritious juices also helps a lot. But then again here, the geographic limitations need to be considered. What may be good in a cold weathered country may not suit someone in a hot weather, so choices need to be made. Eat a lot of salads. They are the actual revitalizes for your skin. Exercising is again one helpful effort towards maintaining a great figure and beautiful skin, since with work outs you lose sweat, which in turn is again a method to cleanse your system
Always cleanse your skin thoroughly, wash it off with plenty of water, and exfoliate your skin to remove all the dust that has found a place in the pores of your skin. While using a cleanser, make sure that you have dabbed it on cotton that is sterile, since you certainly don’t want to land up with infections. Move in circular direction on the face and neck. Once done, you can again wash of your face with water. Now comes the phase of exfoliating your skin, but why do we do this, we have already cleansed is it not? Well answer is not just to remove dust and dirt, but also, to clean away the dead skin, the flaky skin, thus making the face more soft and supple and uniform. Then comes the next step, after you have finished exfoliation, then you moisturize your skin, again remember to move in circular directions all over again. Moisturizer helps the skin to retain its texture and uniform ness. You can even wet your hands while you moisturize your skin, helps in hydrating the skin better. The final touch that they say is about applying a sunscreen when you move out. Even 15 minutes of going out in sun is said to give u a tan. So if you really want to have that extra touch these things are a must follow
Now talking about those who are always in make up, it is highly advisable that you give your skin time to breathe by being without makeup for a minimum of one week after every 3 weeks. Always remember to remove make up when you sleep. Also, for those who wake up with puffy face, astringent and skin freshener work wonders.
A lot of home remedies are also available for those with acne and blemishes. But taking about acne, it could be due to hormonal changes, else, exposure to the outside, apart from deficiencies like zinc; so all these things can be worked out at home to get a better skin. For people with blemishes, a lemon juice application is said to create wonders, but be what the country and be what the home remedies that have come down from ages, it is beast to practice them to have that beautiful looking skin
