Expert Beauty Tips

1. The Golden Rule Do: Make sure you always (and we mean 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 remove the layers of dead skin, sure to leave you with a more healthy glow and brighter skin. You can also apply a paste of walnut in powder form with yogurt to exfoliate your skin, as the antioxidants present in walnuts help remove dirt and promote radiant skin

1. Drinking water relieves fatigue.

Consumption of water makes the body function efficiently, while dehydration decreases alertness and concentration

People with oily skin may be familiar to pimples, acne, blackheads, whiteheads and large pores. This skin type needs a lot of attention. Artificial products that contain chemicals, emulsifiers and fragrances can sometimes worsen the condition and also cause breakouts. On the other hand, there are natural ways to clean the skin and keep it healthy. Use a face wash that can be made by using natural ingredients that would not have any side effects. Make sure the face wash sweeps away excessive oil from the skin surface and makes your skin feel clean and not tight and stretchy. Using a combination of baking soda and honey is the most inexpensive and natural way to effectively fight bacteria that cause pimples and acnes. The result is a pure, oil-free glow!

Beautiful skin is happy, healthy skin. Find out how to make skin feel beautiful.

Most of us strive to keep our skin looking great. However, with so much advice out there it can sometimes be difficult to know what skin care routine will give the best results. There’s no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to learning how to get perfect, glowing skin – it’s all about working with your individual skin type to repair, protect, and rejuvenate. Here are some top tips for healthy skin, covering a range of different skin complaints from dry, flaky lips to oily T-zones

Wash your face: Splash water on your face twice daily. This helps to keep the excess sebum at bay. Since, the excess oil produced is less during winter; you can opt for a creamy face wash instead of a harsh-medical cleanser.

Exfoliate: Oily skin is more prone to pimples and blackheads. Exfoliating your skin regularly will help get rid of any dirt and excess oil that gets accumulated, thereby maintaining a healthy texture. Try and limit the exfoliation to thrice a week, any more might lead to rashes.

Moisturise: You need to replenish the lost moisture on your skin. You can use a water-based moisturiser if you are feeling especially oily. Refrain from using oil-based moisturises as they can make your skin increasingly oily.

Use sunscreen: For oily skin, water-based sunscreen works best as gel-based sunscreen makes the skin oilier and can lead to breakouts. Make sure you slap on some sunscreen each time you leave the house because sun exposure in the winter is more compared to summer. Also, sun damage not only increases the risk for premature wrinkling and skin cancer, but the drying effect can lead to increase in sebum production. And, don’t forget to look for a sunscreen rich in Vitamin E.

Hydrate and eat healthy:  While, we’ve heard this tip time and again, it cannot be stressed enough – drinking 8-10 glasses of water daily does wonders for the skin. It flushes out toxins from the body and bacteria from the skin while hydrating it at the same time. Similarly, what you eat reflects on your skin. Stay away from oily foods and munch on greens, nuts and fruits instead.
