Dos and don’ts for naturally beautiful skin

August 26,2019
Share:

Excited, happy or stressed, it’s your face that gives you away. The flawless, blemish and acne-free skin that you’ve always desired is no more a dream, but a reality. Here are some brilliant beauty tips for face to get that glow you’ve always wanted.

 

1 The Golden Rule

Do: Make sure you always remove your makeup before hitting the sheets. The skin needs to breathe overnight. And makeup prevents that, as leaving it on overnight clogs the pores which may cause blemishes and/or blackheads. Don’t possess a makeup remover? Just put some olive oil on a cotton pad and gently massage the oil onto your face to get rid of the makeup and dirt.

Don’t: Forget that exfoliation is indispensable. At least once or twice a week, exfoliate your skin to

Never forget to exfoliate your skin and remove the makeup before calling it a night.

 

  1. Sun and Skin

 

Do: Apply sunscreen with SPF of at least 15 that blocks both UVA and UVB rays. Since a lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems, you have to protect your skin from the sun. Make sure the label reads ‘noncomedogenic’ or ‘nonacnegenic’ so that the product does not tend to block pores.

 

Don’t: Skip the sunscreen, whether it’s cloudy or cold outside (no excuses). If you’re heading to a beach, lather your skin up with some more sunscreen with SPF of at least 30.

 

 

  1. You are What You Eat

Do: Keep a note of what you put on your plate. Eat fresh fruits, greens, sufficient protein and vitamins. A diet rich in vitamin C and low in fats and sugar promotes radiant skin. Consider a low-sugar diet, which can keep insulin levels down, allowing cells to maintain a healthy balance.

 

“Don’t: Eat spicy and fermented foods, salt, citrus fruits, fried food. Instead favour blander foods such as rice, oatmeal

Fresh fruits and greens is what healthy skin needs.

 

  1. Sweat It Out!

Do: Exercise regularly. Running, jogging and yoga will give your body the necessary blood circulation, and also accelerate the cleansing process of your entire body. You will notice a glow on your face after working out. Racing against time? Just take a brisk walk around the block.

 

Don’t: Skip skincare before and after a workout. Apply a toner to help minimise oil production before heading out. Exfoliate after, and then apply shea butter or olive oil to moisturise the skin.

Running, jogging and yoga will accelerate the cleaning process of your body.

 

  1. Beauty Sleep

Do: Try to sleep at least 8 hours every night. If you don’t get enough shut-eye, your skin gets tired just like you – it sags and you get bags. So don’t risk it. You can also apply honey on your face twice or thrice a week to naturally soothe and heal your skin.

 

“Don’t: Forget to wash and moisturise your face before going to bed.” For dry skin, use milder cleansers that are free from alcohol. Apply lots of moisturiser, and avoid hot water as it dries out the skin excessively.

Never forget to wash your face before sleeping and moisturize well.

 

  1. H2O to The Rescue

Do: Drinking 8 glasses of water is a mustHydrate yourself. Drink lots of water daily, at least 8 glasses if not more. Also, eats fruits and vegetables that have a high water content such as watermelon, cucumber, orange, strawberry, and grapefruit

Don’t: Ignore rose water. It helps prevent and reduce eye puffiness in the morning, maintains pH balance and naturally hydrates your skin if you spritz it on during the day.

 

 

  1. Goodbye Acne

“Do: Wash your face with warm water, three times a day, and gently massage your face in circular motions, ensuring that the cleanser contains alpha hydroxyl acid or beta hydroxyl acid. After cleansing, pat dry and apply a lotion which contains benzoyl peroxide.

 

Don’t: Pop pimples because it can lead to more swelling, redness, and even scarring. Feel a pimple is on its way? Just clean the area with rose water, and place a chilled green tea bag for 10 minutes. Also, if you wear glasses or sunglasses, make sure you clean them frequently to keep oil from clogging the pores around your eyes and nose.

 

  1. Go Back to Your Roots

 

Do: Luckily for you, everything you need is already in your kitchen. 2 tbsp chickpea flour, ½ tsp turmeric powder, a pinch of camphor and sandalwood with some rose water/milk/water is your perfect skincare pack. Yes, the secrets of beauty lies in ancient Ayurveda.

 

Don’t: Neglect the basics. Just breathing right could rid you of spots and pimples. This helps releasing accumulated stresses, and each individual’s experience is different.

 

 

  1. Spa Day Everyday?

Do: Pamper yourself occasionally with spa treatments.

Have a regular skincare regimen. For dry skin, use a fresh cherry mask. Apply the pulp of fresh cherries on your face before going to bed. Leave for 15 minutes and wash with lukewarm water.

 

Don’t: Forget to pamper yourself. A gentle facial massage with oils could work wonders.

 

  1. Healthy Habits

Do: Take out time for yourself, and try to avoid stress as much as possible. Have you ever noticed that when you are stressed, you tend to break out more? This is because stress causes your body to produce cortisol and other hormones, making the skin oilier. Practice stress management techniques like breathing exercises, yoga, and meditation. The more you meditate, the more you radiate.

Don’t: Neglect your jawline and facial muscles. For just 5 minutes a day, perform a few facial exercises. You can jut out your lower lip in such a way that wrinkles are created on the chin, then lower your chin to your chest. Another exercise that works wonders is to look up towards the ceiling and pout. It stretches out the muscles making the skin more firm.
