To have a peaches and cream complexion is the dream of every girl, yet not many are blessed with it. Is there a way out for those who do not have a naturally beautiful skin? Well if one was to believe beauty therapists there is, and my personal experience too has shown that by caring for our skin and living a healthy life which means sleeping on time, eating a healthy diet that is free from oily and fatty food and taking adequate exercise one can keep problems like acne and rashes at bay.
Start your day with a regular cleansing, toning and moisturizing routine. This is as old as grandma’s tale and yet works like magic. The reason for this is that all that cleansing and moisturizing not just cleans up your skin but also when you apply the moisturizer, you actually massage the skin gently and thus activate the nerves beneath.
A few other essential tips would be to visit the beauty parlor regularly or do some regular do-it yourself beauty routines at home. Make sure you use certain beauty routines at home. This will go a long way in ensuring that you have a beautiful and shiny skin.
Here are some beauty essentials:
1. Set a regular skin care routine of cleansing, toning and moisturizing and if you have an oily skin that replace the toner with an astringent.
2. Turmeric has great antiseptic properties so applying a paste of turmeric, nutmeg powder, milk and almonds will give you a blemish free and soft skin. Keep the paste on for 20 minutes. Use this poultice for about a week and see the difference in your skin.
3. Lemon is known for its skin bleaching properties and honey is a natural moisturizer. Applying a mixture of honey and lemon will take care of the blemishes. Do not keep this mixture on for two long as either of the products can cause rashes. Your skin will become clearer after four weeks of application of this mixture.
4. Drinking plenty of water and adequate sleep go a long way in ensuring that you have a flawless complexion. Too many late night parties or staying up late at night working on your computer will show up on your skin. The first sign would be dark circles under the eyes and also puffy eyes. An eight hour beauty sleep is essential.
5. After a busy day or a late night party don’t be lazy make sure you wash off the make-up before you hit the sack. The left over make-up could clog the pores and cause rashes or pimples on the skin.
6. Make sure you include lot of fibre in your diet, as diet aids digestion and a healthy digestive system will show up on your skin.
7. Regular exercise also keeps your system toned and also helps in maintaining a beautiful skin.
8. A healthy diet also goes a long way in ensuring that you have a beautiful skin. Avoid oily and processed foods.
9. Don’t treat your skin like a guinea pig and experiment with all the well packaged creams and lotions available in the market even if your favorite celebrity has endorsed it. Only use tried and tested products that you have always been using.
10. Last and most important don’t buy or use any product that has the herbal tag because remember all products have a chemical composition. Herbs can cause adverse reactions too. So use only products that are recommended for your skin type.
