Dos

Rely on your Granny’s Advice

Picking out ingredients from your pantry is better for your skin than purchasing skincare products from the store. There is nothing like natural cleansers like besan and fuller's earth. These are a one-stop solution for exfoliation, depigmentation and hydration. You can make your own face pack by mixing a tablespoon of fuller’s earth clay with a teaspoon of yogurt, honey, and see visible results.

Hydration is Key

We cannot stress enough on the importance of drinking water. Water helps nourish your skin like nothing else. Apart from hydrating your skin immediately, it also impels it; giving it a suave finish.

Clock-in Some Sleep

Clocking in adequate sleep at night is key to glowing skin. An irregular sleep pattern can take a toll on your health and consequently on the skin. At night, the skin rejuvenates itself and restores its natural glow. You can further aid your efforts by using a sleeping mask. The water-based formula will hydrate your skin when you are asleep and you will wake up to renewed glowing skin.

Skincare Superfoods

As goes the famous saying, you are what you eat. If you are looking to enhance your skin's glow, it pays to take a closer look at what is on your plate. What you take in your body appears on your skin. You need to have a balanced diet with antioxidant rich foods and fatty acids to keep that glow on your skin.

The humble aloe Vera serves as a superfood for skincare. You can apply it directly on your skin or eat it. You can mix one third cup of aloe juice with coconut water for added hydration. The potassium and sodium content in aloe Vera hydrate the skin cells and make your skin radiant.

Make SPF your BFF

Wear sunscreen regardless of whether it is sunny or not. Just like you brush your teeth every morning, make it a routine to put on sunscreen. This will shield your skin from the harmful effects of the ultraviolet radiation, thus preventing any dark spots. It will also lower the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face.

Sweat Out the Toxins

During workout, the body sweats and releases toxins. Exercise improves blood circulation in the body and perks your skin right up. An indoor gym is good but if you have access to a park nearby that is even better. Jogging and sweating out in the fresh air will work wonders for that glow.

Using the right Cleanser

There are a number of skincare products out there to pick. The first step is to identify your skin type. Then choose a facial cleanser that best suits your skin. Using the wrong face wash affects the skin badly. Especially girls who have sensitive skin should be very careful with the skincare products and ingredients they use on their skin.

Exfoliate

Our skin cannot avoid the sunrays and the harmful stressors in the environment. These damage the skin causing a thin layer of dead skin to form on the surface. This gives rise to blemishes and dull skin.

To keep your skin healthy, you need to make sure to exfoliate it on a regular basis in your skincare routine. You can prepare your own scrub or purchase one from the store. Massage on your face. This will remove the dead cells and impurities from the skin surface and clear up clogged pores.

Don’ts

Do not Experiment with Too many Products

Taking care of your skin is key to glowing skin. Overdoing it is not. Try to keep your skincare routine as simple as possible with nominal products. No matter how excited you get while seeing those beauty advertisements, experimenting with different skincare products is a big no! All these chemical infused products can harm your skin in the end.

Do not touch your Face

Many of us have a knack of touching our face for no possible reason. Some do it out of stress and some do it naturally out of habit. This needs to stop however. Our hands carry too many germs and bacteria from the different things that we do during the day. By touching our face with the same hands, we are only transferring those germs to our skin. This causes irritation, zits and other skin issues.

Do not pick on those Zits

We all have the urge of extracting those annoying blackheads with our fingers. Similarly, whenever we spot a zit we cannot hold back but pop it. This is the worst idea however as doing so would only cause redness, inflammation and leave permanent marks on your skin.

Do not over wash

Contrary to popular belief, washing your face too many times to keep it clear of all impurities is a bad idea. When you wash your face with a facial cleanser repeatedly, it strips the skin off its natural oils. The skin loses its moisture and becomes dull and dry. For girls with oily skin, excess use of facial cleansers leads to more oil build up and causes skin issues. Washing your face twice a day in your skincare regimen, with a facial cleanser is good enough.

Going to bed with makeup

Failing to wipe off makeup before hitting the bed can serve as another common cause for pilfering your skin's natural glow. No matter how hectic of a day you have had, you should be very particular about removing all your makeup and keeping the skin clean before you sleep. However, keep in mind that harsh chemical infused removers tend to strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving behind an exhausted appearance on your skin. Mild alternatives like micellar water work better for wiping off makeup while also hydrating the skin.

Girls just follow these simple steps in your skincare routine and get amazed at how helpful they are!
