PARTY-PERFECT SKIN CARE TIPS

PARTY-PERFECT SKIN CARE TIPS

  

1. CLEANSING, TONING & MOISTURISING

·         Choose a milk-based face cleanser according to your skin type.

·         Rub it in circular motions and don’t stretch or pull your skin.

·         Wash with normal or tepid water, and avoid using hot water.

·         Use a toner, then a hydrating and nourishing moisturizer daily.

·         A toner hydrates your skin and restores the pH balance.

·         A moisturizer has constituents that refill the skin’s natural ingredients.

·         Before going to bed, use a makeup remover and then cleanse your skin with a facial cleanser.

2. SUNSCREEN

·         Use a sunscreen lotion of SPF30 or more, 2 to 3 times a day.

·         Even small amounts of exposure to harmful UV radiation of the sun rays, whether it is cloudy or you are indoors, can cause dark spots and wrinkles, and sometimes damage skin permanently.

3. SKIN LIGHTENING CREAM

·         Regularly use a dermatologist-recommended skin lightening cream at night.

·         It will help you tackle skin blemishes and imperfections, besides toning your skin.

4. EXFOLIATE

·         Use a mild exfoliating scrub, to get rid of dead skin cells and impurities, once a week.

·         You can also choose a clay-based mask which will pull out the dirt and grime.

·         Don’t overdo exfoliation on your face, to avoid skin damage.

·         Facial exfoliation, even with a mild exfoliator, should not be done more than twice a week.

·         You can use exfoliating agents on your knees and elbows too.

5. EATING

·         Antioxidants in berries – blueberries, cranberries, aloe vera – can help keep your skin vibrant.

·         Taking nutritional supplements can help tackle free radicals that cause premature ageing.

6. WATER

·         Drink about 8 glasses of water everyday to keep the body hydrated all the time.

·         Wash your face and apply a moisturizer regularly.

7. OIL MASSAGE

·         Oils soften, moisturize and rejuvenate the body, both internally as well as externally.

·         An oil massage will beat skin dryness and keep you nourished.

8. SOME USEFUL TIPS

·         Use hot milk instead of hot water to steam your face, as its lactic acid helps in unclogging pores.

·         Mix a tablespoon of honey with two crushed aspirin tablets to form a thick paste, apply it to the face and leave it on for 20 minutes before washing off to get refreshed skin.

·         Aspirins have beta-hydroxy acid, which is an ingredient in a lot of high-end face masks.

·         For normal skin, mix two drops of water with your foundation.

·         For dry skin, add toner in your foundation.

·         For oily skin, add two drops of witch hazel in your foundation.

·         Extend your makeup and skin care regime from your face to your neck, chest and cleavage.

·         Do apply serum, face cream, sunscreen, and exfoliate beyond your jaw line.

·         For pimples, keep a prescribed pimple cream handy.

·         For dry skin, apply a good nourishing moisturizer at all times.

·         For a tan, use a dermatologist-prescribed skin lightening cream.

·         Fit some exercise into your routine, even if it is just brisk walking.

·         Try your best to relax.
