The festive season is around the corner and now is when you want to look your absolute best. Make your skin glow this year with get ready for the coming Winter.
What you eat is what you get. This holds some truth when it comes to the things you push down your throat. For a naturally glowing and clear skin, one needs to maintain a balanced diet, with lots of fresh vegetables. Vegetables and fruits are a good way of keeping a steady supply of vitamins intact, maintain a healthy bowel movement and contributing to a general health and good skin.
Natural face packs are the best. Why spend your money on "highly recommended" moisturizers when all you need to do is put on a butter and banana pack twice every week? The combination will work wonders on your skin and bring a fresh and bright look to your face. Also, always remove your make up, and cleanse and moisturise your skin, before bed. Residual make up often causes break outs and are harmful to the skin. One of the best combinations for a pack is rosewater and fuller's earth (multani mitti). This can be applied at least once a week, to tighten the skin and pores. It also acts as a toner and calming agent for stressed out skin.
Wash your face at least twice a day with a gentle, foaming face wash. This will avoid dust from sticking to your skin. For those who don't wish to do so, keeping facial wipes will come in handy to wipe clean the face. Regular exfoliation is absolutely essential for an oily skin. It keeps it soft and unblocks pores. Use a grainy scrub to remove excess oil and blackheads from the skin. This will keep the face healthy, prevent acne, and leave you glowing.
A quick method for radiant skin is to apply tomato juice on your face for 15 to 20 minutes before washing. This is known to be an effective way of getting clearer skin. For the skin under the eye, leave cucumber pieces on your eyes for a few minutes to calm the stressed out skin.
Take steam! Face steaming is the best way to open the pores of your skin and leave it looking fresh. Face steaming also kills dead skin and cure acne. The face is the first to know of the changing weather, and constant exposure to dry air in Winter potentially damages it.
